82. Al-Infitaar - The Cleaving
| 1 | When heaven is split open, |
| 2 | when the stars are scattered, |
| 3 | when the seas swarm over, |
| 4 | when the tombs are overthrown, |
| 5 | then a soul shall know its works, the former and the latter. |
| 6 | O Man! What deceived thee as to thy generous Lord |
| 7 | who created thee and shaped thee and wrought thee in symmetry |
| 8 | and composed thee after what form He would? |
| 9 | No indeed; but you cry lies to the Doom; |
| 10 | yet there are over you watchers |
| 11 | noble, writers |
| 12 | who know whatever you do. |
| 13 | Surely the pious shall be in bliss, |
| 14 | and the libertines shall be in a fiery furnace |
| 15 | roasting therein on the Day of Doom, |
| 16 | nor shall they ever be absent from it. |
| 17 | And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Doom? |
| 18 | Again, what shall teach thee what is the Day of Doom? |
| 19 | A day when no soul shall possess aught to succour another soul; that day the Command shall belong unto God. |
