Surah Al-Infitar (The Cleaving)

19 ayahs. Translation: Saheeh International. Source: Quran Foundation.

1. إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ

   When the sky breaks apart

2. وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ

   And when the stars fall, scattering,

3. وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ

   And when the seas are erupted

4. وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ

   And when the [contents of] graves are scattered [i.e., exposed],

5. عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ

   A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.

6. يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ

   O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,

7. ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

   Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

8. فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ

   In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

9. كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ

   No! But you deny the Recompense.

10. وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَـٰفِظِينَ

    And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,

11. كِرَامًا كَـٰتِبِينَ

    Noble and recording;

12. يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

    They know whatever you do.

13. إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ

    Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,

14. وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ

    And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.

15. يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

    They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,

16. وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ

    And never therefrom will they be absent.

17. وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

    And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

18. ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

    Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

19. يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ

    It is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allāh.
