When the sky is cleft asunder
2
and the stars are dispersed,
3
and the oceans boil over,
4
and the graves are overturned,
5
then each soul shall know what she has brought forth, and what she has kept back.
6
O man! What seduces you away from your generous Lord,
7
Who created you, formed you, shaped you,
8
and assembled you according to His Will?
9
But no, you still deny the Judgment Day! I. The Foundation of Islamic Belief

Verily, there are Guardians over you,
12
aware of all your deeds!
13
Verily, for the righteous there shall be bliss,
14
and for the corrupt there shall be the Fire
15
which they shall enter on Judgment Day.
16
They shall not escape from it!
17
But how will you know what is Judgment Day?
18
And again, how will you know what is Judgment Day?
19
— It is the Day when no soul shall help another soul! On that Day all power shall be with God!
