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

as rendered by Faridul Haque — 19 verses

When the heaven splits open
And when the stars fall down
And when the oceans are swept away
And when the graves are overturned
Every soul will come to know what it has sent ahead and what it left behind
O man! What has deceived you away from your Lord, the Most Beneficent
The One Who created you, then moulded you, then made you proper
He moulded you into whatever shape He willed
Not at all – but rather you deny the establishment of Justice
And indeed there are some guardians over you
The honourable recorders
Knowing all what you may do
Indeed the virtuous are in serenity
And indeed the sinners are in hell
They will enter it on the Day of Justice
And will not be able to hide from it
And what do you know – of what sort is the Day of Justice
Again, what do you know – of what sort is the Day of Justice
The day on which no soul will have the authority over any other soul; and on that day, the entire command belongs to Allah
