The Cleaving

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

[82:1]

When the heaven is cleft asunder,

[82:2]

When the planets are dispersed,

[82:3]

When the seas are poured forth,

[82:4]

And the sepulchres are overturned,

[82:5]

A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.

[82:6]

O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,

[82:7]

Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?

[82:8]

Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.

[82:9]

Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.

[82:10]

Lo! there are above you guardians,

[82:11]

Generous and recording,

[82:12]

Who know (all) that ye do.

[82:13]

Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.

[82:14]

And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;

[82:15]

They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,

[82:16]

And will not be absent thence.

[82:17]

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!

[82:18]

Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!

[82:19]

A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah’s.
