Cleaving Asunder

When the heaven is cleft asunder,
when the stars are scattered,
when the oceans are made to explode,
when the graves are hurled about,
each soul shall know its earlier actions and its later ones.

O man, what has lured you away from your gracious Lord,
Who created and moulded you and gave you
an upright shape?
He can give you whatever form He wills.

Shun it!
But you deny the Last Judgment;
Yet, there are guardians watching over you,
noble recorders,
who know all your actions.

Surely the righteous shall be in bliss,
while the wicked shall be in Hell,
where they shall be thrown on the Day of Judgement;
nor shall they be absent from it.

Would that you knew what the Day of Judgement is!
Oh, would that you knew what the Day of Judgement is!

It is the day when no soul can be of any help to any other soul
and when Allah reigns supreme.

(Surah 82 Al-Infitar)

ketahuilah ayat Allah itu bukanlah semata-mata karya sastera yang indah.

Ianya suatu pelajaran.
