Al-Infitar 82:1–5
When the sky breaks apart
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ ١ وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ ٢ وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ ٣ وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ ٤ عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ ٥
The meaning, simply
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.
