Explanation And Back Ground

This Surah has 19 verses. It takes its name from verse 1: “إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْفَطَرَتْ” (When the sky breaks apart) where the word “فَطَرَتْ” from which the word “الإنفطار” is derived meaning “The Splitting” appears. This Surah was revealed in Mecca most probably during the early days of Muhammad’s proclamation of his Prophethood. The central theme of Surah is Hereafter.

Ahmad bin Hanbal recorded from Ibn Umar that the Prophet of God said, One who likes to see the Day of Judgment as if he is seeing it with his eyes, then let him read “إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ” Surah Takwir, and “إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْفَطَرَتْ” Surah Infitar and “إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ” Surah Inshiqaq.

Nasai recorded from Jabir that Muadh that he stood and led the people in the Night Prayer, and he made the recitation of his prayer long. So the Prophet of God PBUH said,

أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ يَا مُعَاذُ؟ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ عَنْ سَبِّحِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَى وَٱلضُّحَىٰ وَ إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتۡ

Are you putting the people to trial O Muadh Why don’t you recite Glorify the Name of your Lord the Most High, By the forenoon, and When the heaven is cleft asunder.
