> THE CHAPTER OF THE CLEAVING ASUNDER
> (LXXXII. Mecca.)
> IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God.
> When the heaven is cleft asunder,
> And when the stars are scattered,
> And when the seas gush together,
> And when the tombs are turned upside down, The soul shall know what it has sent on or kept back! O man! what has seduced thee concerning thy generous Lord, who created thee, and fashioned thee, and gave thee symmetry, and in what form He pleased composed thee?
> Nay, but ye call the judgment a lie! but over you are guardians set,-noble, writing down! they know what ye do! Verily, the righteous are in pleasure, and, verily, the wicked are in hell; they shall broil therein upon the judgment day; nor shall they be absent therefrom!
> And what shall make thee know what is the judgment day? Again, what shall make thee know what is the judgment day? a day when no soul shall control aught for another; and the bidding on that day belongs to God!
