"The Cleaving"

   

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

"82.1":    When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,

"82.2":    And when the stars become dispersed,

"82.3":    And when the seas are made to flow forth,

"82.4":    And when the graves are laid open,

"82.5":     Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.

"82.6":    O man ! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,

"82.7":    Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?

"82.8":    Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.

"82.9":    Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,

"82.10":    And most surely there are keepers over you

"82.11":    Honorable recorders,

"82.12":    They know what you do.

"82.13":    Most surely the righteous are in bliss,

"82.14":    And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,

"82.15":    They shall enter it on the day of judgment.

"82.16":    And they shall by no means be absent from it.

"82.17":    And what will make you realize what the day of judgement is?

"82.18":    Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment Is?

"82.19":    The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.
