Surah “The Cleaving, The Cleaving Asunder, Bursting Apart”

as rendered by Talal Itani (2012) — 19 verses

When the sky breaks apart
When the planets are scattered
When the oceans are exploded
When the tombs are strewn around
Each soul will know what it has advanced, and what it has deferred
O man! What deluded you concerning your Lord, the Most Generous
He Who created you, and formed you, and proportioned you
In whatever shape He willed, He assembled you
But you reject the religion
Though over you are watchers
Honest recorders
They know everything you do
The virtuous will be in bliss
While the wicked will be in Hell
They will enter it on the Day of Justice
And they will not be absent from it
But what will convey to you what the Day of Justice is
Then again, what will convey to you what the Day of Justice is
The Day when no soul will avail another soul anything; and the decision on that Day is God's
