Al-Infitar



When the heaven is cleft asunder,
And when the stars have fallen and scattered.
And when the seas are burst forth.
And when the graves are turned upside down.
A person will know what he has sent forward and left behind.

O man! What has made you careless about your Lord, the Most Generous?
Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you due proportion.
In whatever form He willed, He put you together.

Nay! But you deny Ad-Din
But verily, over you (are angels) to watch you,
Kiraman Katibin -writing down,
They know all that you do.

Verily the Abrar (pious believers) will be in Delight (Paradise),
And verily, the Fujjar (wicked, disbelievers) will be in the blazing Fire,
Therein they will enter and taste its burning flame on the Day of Recompense,
And they will not be absent therefrom.

And what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is?
Again, what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is?
(It'll be) the Day when no person shall have power for another, and the Decision, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah.

(surah al-Infitar)
