Revealed before the Hijrah. This chapter has 19 verses.
In the Name of Allah, 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;-
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 the Judgment!
