The Koran

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.
