Sura LXXXII (82)
The Cleaving
(
________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When
the Heaven shall Cleave asunder,
And
when the stars shall disperse,
And
when the seas shall be conmingled,
And
when the graves shall be turned upside down,
Each
soul shall recognise its earliest and its latest actions.
O man!
what had misled thee against thy generous Lord,
Who
hath created thee and moulded thee and shaped thee aright?
In the
form which pleased Him hath He fashioned thee.
Even
so; but you treat the Judgment as a lie.
82:10 Yet truly there are guardians over you
--
Illustrious
recorders --
Cognisant
of your actions.
Surely
amid delights shall the righteous dwell,
But
verily the impure in Hell-fire:
They
shall be burned at it on the day of doom,
And
they shall not be able to hide themselves from it.
Who
shall teach thee what the day of doom is?
Once
more. Who shall teach thee what the day of doom is?
It is
a day when one soul shall be powerless for another soul:
all sovereignty on that day shall be with God.
