Summarized notes on Surah Al-Inshiqaaq

On the Last Day, the heavens and earth will be split up/spread out, and will listen to the command of God. Man will meet God that Day. Whoever is given account in right hand will get Paradise. The others will be punished - for they lived sunk in pleasure, thinking never will there be a return after death.

Don't be ignorant about the Quran. God is All-Knowing. For those who believe and do good works, their rewards will never be cut off.

The Quran is clearly revelation from the One God, Who created all. The word Quran means recitation. Read about its compilation here - Islamweb.net. ExploreQuran.org displays Quran chapters in both, the actual compilation order (in printed copies), as well as a revelation order which might provide a different approach for exploring the Holy Quran.
