The Holy Quran

CHAPTER 82

Al-Infitar: THE CLEAVING

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

82:1 When the heaven is cleft asunder,

82:2 And when the stars become dispersed,

82:3 And when the rivers are made to flow forth,

82:4 And when the graves are laid open --

82:5 Every soul will know what it his sent before and what it has held back.

82:6 O man, what beguiles thee from they Lord, the Gracious?

82:7 Who created thee, then made thee complete, then made thee in a right good state --

82:8 Into whatever form He pleases He casts thee.

82:9 Nay, but you give the lie to the Judgment,

82:10 And surely there are keepers over you,

82:11 Honourable recorders,

82:12 They know what you do.

82:13 Surely the righteous are in bliss,

82:14 And the wicked are truly in burning Fire --

82:15 They will enter it on the day of Judgement,

82:16 And will not be absent from it.

82:17 And what will make thee realize what the day of Judgment is?

82:18 Again, what will make thee realize what the day of Judgment is?

82:19 The day when no soul controls aught for another soul. And the command on that day is Allah’s.
