About Surah Al-Infitar

Similar in tone to At-Takwir, Al-Infitar describes the sky splitting apart and the stars scattering as part of the events of Judgment Day, when every soul will know exactly what it has sent forth and left behind. It reminds readers that two recording angels accompany every person, honestly noting their deeds, and questions what has deceived people into taking their generous, patient Creator so lightly.
