*
"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

p. 1699

Sra Lxxxii.

\"INFIR," Or The Cleaving Asunder.

In the name of God, Most Gracious,

Most Merciful.

1.
When the Sky

Is cleft asunder;

2.
When the Stars

Are scattered;

3.
When the Oceans

Are suffered to burst forth;

4.
And when the Graves

Are turned upside down;--

p. 1700

5.
(Then) shall each soul know

What it hath sent forward

And (what it hath) kept back.

6. O
man! what has

Seduced thee from

Thy Lord Most Beneficent?--

7.
Him Who created thee.

Fashioned thee in due proportion

And gave thee a just bias;

8.
In whatever Form He wills,

Does He put thee together.

9.
Nay! but ye do

Reject Right and Judgment!

10.
But verily over you

(Are appointed angels)

To protect you,--

11.
Kind and honourable,--

Writing down (your deeds):

p. 1701

12.
They know (and understand)

All that ye do.

13.
As for the Righteous,

They will be in Bliss;

14.
And the Wicked--

They will be in the Fire,

15.
Which they will enter

On the Day of Judgment,

16.
And they will not be

Able to keep away therefrom.

17.
And what will explain

To thee what the Day

Of Judgment is?

18.
Again, what will explain

To thee what the Day

Of Judgment is?

19.
(It will be) the Day

When no soul shall have

Power (to do) aught

For another

For the Command, that Day,

Will be (wholly) with God.

p. 1702
