82. THE CLEAVING
BURSTING APART
_____________________________________________________________________


In the name of God,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful

82:1 When the Sky is cleft asunder;
82:2 When the Stars are scattered;
82:3 When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;
82:4 And when the Graves are turned upside down;-
82:5 (Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.
82:6 O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent?-
82:7 Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;
82:8 In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.
82:9 Day! nit ye do reject Right and Judgment!
82:10 But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you,-
82:11 Kind and honourable,- Writing down (your deeds):
82:12 They know (and understand) all that ye do.
82:13 As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;
82:14 And the Wicked - they will be in the Fire,
82:15 Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,
82:16 And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.
82:17 And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
82:18 Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
82:19 (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.
