    About Surah Al-Inshiqaq

    Al-Inshiqaq, the Sundering, describes the sky being torn apart and the earth flattened on the Last Day, when every person meets the result of their striving. The one given his record in his right hand will return to his people in joy, while the one given it behind his back will call out in regret.
