82 The Splitting -Al-'Infitar

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful

[82.1] When the sky is split,

[82.2] when the planets are scattered,

[82.3] when the oceans are gushed forth,

[82.4] when the graves are overturned,

[82.5] the soul shall know what it has done, the former and the latter.

[82.6] O human! What has deceived you concerning your Generous Lord

[82.7] who created you, formed you and proportioned you?

[82.8] In whatever shape He will He could surely have fashioned you.

[82.9] Rather, you belied the Recompense.

[82.10] Yet over you there are watchers,

[82.11] noble scribes

[82.12] who know of all that you do.

[82.13] Indeed, the righteous shall (live) in bliss.

[82.14] But the wicked, indeed they shall be in the Fiery Furnace,

[82.15] roasting in it on the Day of Recompense

[82.16] and from it they shall never be absent.

[82.17] What could let you know what the Day of Recompense is!

[82.18] Again, what could let you know what the Day of Recompense is!

[82.19] It is the Day when no soul can do a thing for another soul. That Day, the command belongs to Allah.
