The lessons

  1. Paper-cut picture from Surah Al-Infitar: a vast night sky with a long bright crack of light across it, small stars drifting down like falling sparks over a churning sea
    1 · Verses 1–5

    When the sky breaks apart

    On the Last Day the sky will split, the stars will scatter, the seas will burst into one another, and the graves will be turned over and their people brought out. Then every soul will know what it sent ahead and what it left behind.

  2. Paper-cut picture from Surah Al-Infitar: a perfectly balanced tall palm tree standing straight in an oasis, its fronds spreading evenly, a clear pool reflecting it in golden light
    2 · Verses 6–8

    Your Generous Lord

    O man, what has deceived you about your Lord, the Generous? He created you, shaped you, balanced you, and put you together in whatever form He willed.

  3. Paper-cut picture from Surah Al-Infitar: an open book with blank pages resting on a soft cloud under a starry sky, a feather quill beside it glowing gently
    3 · Verses 9–12

    Noble recorders

    No! But you deny the Day of Recompense. Over you are noble angels who keep and write down your deeds; they know whatever you do, good or bad.

  4. Paper-cut picture from Surah Al-Infitar: a landscape divided by a deep ravine, a lush garden with streams and fruit trees in sunlight on one side, dark scorched rock under a faint red glow on the other
    4 · Verses 13–16

    The righteous and the wicked

    The righteous, who gave Allah and people their rights, will be in bliss. And the wicked, who neglected them, will be in Hellfire, entering it on the Day of Recompense, never to be absent from it.

  5. Paper-cut picture from Surah Al-Infitar: a vast silent plain at dawn under an enormous sky, a single path of light stretching to the horizon, completely still
    5 · Verses 17–19

    That Day the command is Allah's

    And what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is? Again, what will make you know? It is the Day when no soul can do anything for another, and the command that Day belongs to Allah alone.
