Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn . The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray .

Sūra al-Infiṭār (Arabic: سورة الانفطار) is eighty second sura of the quran. It is makki sura and located in juz thirty. It is called "al-Infitar" which is mentioned in its first verse, meaning "rending" and it speaks about rending of the sky on the Day of judgement.

Sura al-Infitar speaks about the Day of Judgement and its signs and gives news about the destinies of the pious (al-abrar) and the vicious (al-fujjar) and the abode of each group. About the merits of recitation of this sura, it is narrated from the prophet (s) that whoever recites Sura al-Infitar, God will give him rewards equal to the number of all graves and ten times more than the number of rain drops and snowflakes.

The theme of this Surah, similar to that of other Surahs of the last part of the Qur'an is about the Hereafter and points to five different subjects.

1. The preliminary events, which happen at the end of this physical world and just a little before that, the new Spiritual World is established.

2. A hint to the blessings of Allah that encompass man's entity, and the breaking of his pride, in order for him to he prepared for the Resurrection.

3. A reference to the angels who are appointed to record the deeds of man.

4. The end of 'the Righteous' and 'The wicked' on the Day of Judgment.

5. A part of the hardship on that Great Day.

A narration from Imam Sadiq (as) says:

"He who recites those two Surahs: Infitar and Inshiqaq and considers them present before his eyes in his obligatory and optional prayers, nothing will separate him from Allah and there will he no hindrance between him and Allah. He will be in the continuous presence of Allah and Allah will be looking over him until all of the accounts he has with others are settled."

Lessons

The main theme for both surah are the description of the Day of Judgement.Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan is discussing the Surah from its linguistic perspectives, shedding light on what those Arabic words actually mean and how and in what context it had been used in Classical Arabic, and thus trying to interpret what the verses mean by the implication of how that words were actually used in the Arabic community at that time. He did this because so many people just ignore the nuances of Arabic language and thus the there are plenty of missing translation for the Quran verses.
