The Shattering · al-Infitar · سورة الانفطار · 19 ayahs

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Kind, the Most Caring.

إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْفَطَرَتْ

When the sky splits open.

وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انْتَثَرَتْ

And when the stars scatter everywhere.

وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ

And when the oceans burst out.

وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ

And when the graves are opened wide.

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ

Then each person will know clearly what they've done, and what they've left undone.

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ

O human, what made you turn away from your Generous Lord?

الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

Who created you, shaped you, and made you balanced.

فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ

And put you together in whatever form He chose?

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ

But no — you deny the Day of Judgment.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ

Yet there are watchers over you.

كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ

Noble recorders who write everything down.

يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

They know everything you do.

إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ

Good people will be in happiness.

وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ

And wicked people will be in a blazing fire.

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ

They'll enter it on the Day of Judgment.

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ

And they'll never be away from it.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

And what can make you understand what the Day of Judgment is?

ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

Again, what can make you understand what the Day of Judgment is?

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا ۖ وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ

It's the Day when no person can help another at all. And on that Day, all authority belongs to Allah.
