The Koran
CHAPTER LXXXII.
ENTITLED, THE CLEAVING IN SUNDER; REVEALED AT MECCA.
IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD.
When the heaven shall be cloven in sunder; and when the stars shall be
scattered; and when the seas shall be suffered to join their waters; and
when the graves shall be turned upside down: every soul shall know what
it hath committed, and what it hath omitted. O man, what hath seduced thee
against thy gracious Lord, who hath created thee, and put thee together,
and rightly disposed thee? In what form he pleased hath he fashioned thee.
Assuredly. But ye deny the last judgment as a falsehood. Verily there are
appointed over you guardian angels, honorable in the sight of God, writing
down your actions; who know that which ye do. The just shall surely be
in a place of delight: but the wicked shall surely be in hell; they shall
be cast therein to be burned, on the day of judgment, and they shall not
be absent therefrom for ever. What shall cause thee to understand what
the day of judgment is? Again, What shall cause thee to understand what
the day of judgment is? It is a day whereon one soul shall not be able
to obtain anything in behalf of another soul: and the command on that day
shall be God’s.
