SURAH AL-INFITAAR (THE CLEAVING ASUNDER)
There are 19 verses in this surah and it was revealed in Mecca. The Holy Prophet (S) said that if a person recites this surah frequently in his prayers then on the Day of Judgement there will be no curtain between Allah (s.w.t) and himself and when his book of deeds will be opened, Allah (s.w.t) will protect him from humiliation.
If a prisoner writes this surah and keeps it with him, he will be released sooner and he will be saved from any dangers. It is narrated from Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq that even if the sins of the one who recites this surah are equal to the drops of rain, he will still be forgiven. This surah is also good for the eyes and one should blow gently into the eyes after reciting this surah.
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
اِذَا السَّمَآءُ انْفَطَرَتْۙ(1)
(1) When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
وَاِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انْتَثَرَتْۙ(2)
(2) And when the stars become dispersed,
وَاِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْۙ(3)
(3) And when the seas are made to flow forth,
وَاِذَا الْقُبُوْرُ بُعْثِرَتْۙ(4)
(4) And when the graves are laid open,
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَاَخَّرَتْؕ(5)
(5) Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الْاِنْسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيْمِۙ(6)
(6) O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,
الَّذِىْ خَلَقَكَ فَسَوّٰٮكَ فَعَدَلَكَۙ(7)
(7) Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?
فِىْۤ اَىِّ صُوْرَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَؕ(8)
(8) Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُوْنَ بِالدِّيْنِۙ(9)
(9) Nay! but you give the lie to the Judgement day,
وَاِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحٰفِظِيْنَۙ(10)
(10) And most surely there are keepers over you
كِرَامًا كَاتِبِيْنَۙ(11)
(11) Honorable recorders,
يَعْلَمُوْنَ مَا تَفْعَلُوْنَ(12)
(12) They know what you do.
اِنَّ الْاَبْرَارَ لَفِىْ نَعِيْمٍۚ(13)
(13) Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
وَاِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِىْ جَحِيْمٍ ۚۖ(14)
(14) And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
يَّصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّيْنِ(15)
(15) They shall enter it on the day of Judgement.
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِيْنَؕ(16)
(16) And they shall by no means be absent from it.
وَمَاۤ اَدْرٰٮكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّيْنِۙ(17)
(17) And what will make you realize what the day of Judgement is?
ثُمَّ مَاۤ اَدْرٰٮكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّيْنِؕ(18)
(18) Again, what will make you realize what the day of Judgement is?
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا ؕ وَالْاَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ(19)
(19) The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.
