Surah Al-Infitaar means "The Splitting Open."
This is the 82nd Surah of the Qur'an with 19 ayaah.
Infitaar is an infinitive which means to cleave or split asunder, thereby implying that it is the Surah in which the splitting asunder of the sky has been mentioned.
PERIOD OF REVELATION
This Surah and the Surah At-Takwir closely resemble each other in their subject matter. This shows that both were sent down in about the same period.
THEME
Its theme is the Hereafter. In this Surah first the Resurrection Day has been described and it is said that when it occurs, every person will see whatever he has done in the world.
After this, man has been asked to ponder the question: "O man, what has deluded you into thinking that the God, Who brought you into being and by Whose favor and bounty you possess the finest body, limbs and features among all creatures, is only bountiful and not just? His being bountiful and generous does not mean that you should become fearless of His justice."
Then, man has been warned, so as to say: "Do not remain involved in any misunderstanding. Your complete record is being prepared. There are trustworthy writers who are writing down whatever you do."
In conclusion, it has been forcefully stated that the Day of Resurrection will surely take place when the righteous shall enjoy every kind of bliss in Paradise and the wicked shall be punished in Hell
On that day no one shall avail anyone anything. All powers of judgment shall be with Allah.
