About Surah Al-Inshiqaq
Al-Inshiqaq describes the sky splitting open and obeying its Lord, and the earth being flattened out and releasing everything within it, as further imagery of the Day of Judgment. It reflects on the different fates of those who receive their record in their right hand versus behind their back, and includes the well-known line that a person will inevitably meet their efforts and their Lord "stage by stage," regardless of how they try to avoid it.
