Surah Al infitar in Arabic with Translation and Transliteration

Table of Contents

Surah Al-Infitar is the 82nd chapter (Surah) of the Quran, the holy book of Islam. It is a relatively short chapter, consisting of 19 verses (ayahs), but it carries profound messages and insights that are essential for Muslims to understand and reflect upon. In this blog post, we will delve into the comprehensive exploration of Surah Al-Infitar, including its overview, content, and the virtues associated with it.

Surah Al-Infitar derives its name from the Arabic word "infitar," which can be translated as "splitting open" or "cleaving asunder." This term aptly summarizes the theme of the Surah, as it describes various events that will occur on the Day of Judgment when the heavens will be split open, and the earth will be laid bare. The Surah begins with a vivid description of these cataclysmic events and their impact on humanity.

Now, let's explore the content of Surah Al-Infitar in more detail:

1. The Opening Scene (Verses 1-5): The Surah commences with a powerful description of the cosmic events that will unfold on the Day of Judgment. It speaks of the splitting of the sky, the scattering of stars, and the oceans boiling over. These verses emphasize the severity and awe-inspiring nature of the Day when every soul will be brought to account for their deeds.
2. The Presentation of Deeds (Verses 6-8): In these verses, Surah Al-Infitar highlights that on the Day of Judgment, people's deeds will be presented to them, both the good and the bad. This presentation will be a witness against them, bearing testimony to their actions in life. No one will be able to deny or escape the consequences of their deeds.
3. The State of Disbelief (Verses 9-12): The Surah then delves into the mindset of disbelievers on that Day. It describes how disbelievers will be in a state of despair and confusion, realizing the gravity of their actions and their consequences. They will wish for death but will not find relief from their torment.
4. The Reward of the Believers (Verses 13-19): In contrast to the disbelievers, Surah Al-Infitar emphasizes the rewards and blessings that await the believers. Those who lived a righteous life, believed in Allah, and did good deeds will be in a state of joy and contentment. They will be given their records in their right hands and will enter Paradise, where they will enjoy eternal bliss and closeness to Allah.
