082- AL-INFITAR
THE CLEAVING ASUNDER
Al-Infitār is an early Makkan sūrah most likely revealed after Sūrah 79, al-Nāziʿāt. It takes its name from the verb in the first verse, one of the many dramatic descriptions of the cataclysmic alterations that will afflict the sky on the Day of Judgment. Like other sūrahs from this period, the beginning verses focus upon the events that will mark the Day of Judgment (vv. 1–5), which, as in the previous sūrah, are a series of apocalyptic inversions in which the normal order both in Heaven and on earth is turned inside out. This is followed by a reproach and warning of the Last Day (vv. 6–12). The final section (vv. 13–19) contrasts the bliss of the pious with the punishment of the profligate, indicating that in the end all shall know how they have in fact lived.
