> SURA LXXXII (82) - The Cleaving    (Mecca - 29)                (XXXI - 44)      
>  
>        In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
>  
>        When the Heaven shall Cleave asunder,
>  
>        And when the stars shall disperse,
>  
>        And when the seas shall be conmingled,
>  
>        And when the graves shall be turned upside down,
>  
>        Each soul shall recognise its earliest and its latest actions.
>  
>        O man! what had misled thee against thy generous Lord,
>  
>        Who hath created thee and moulded thee and shaped thee aright?
>  
>        In the form which pleased Him hath He fashioned thee.
>  
>        Even so; but ye treat the Judgment as a lie.
>  
> 82:10  Yet truly there are guardians over you -
>  
>        Illustrious recorders -
>  
>        Cognisant of your actions.
>  
>        Surely amid delights shall the righteous dwell,
>  
>        But verily the impure in Hell-fire:
>  
>        They shall be burned at it on the day of doom,
>  
>        And they shall not be able to hide themselves from it.
>  
>        Who shall teach thee what the day of doom is?
>  
>        Once more.  Who shall teach thee what the day of doom is?
>  
>        It is a day when one soul shall be powerless for another soul:  all
> sovereignty on that day shall be with God.
