Surat Al-Infitaar Lapbook
I have another fun surah lapbook to show you today. Surat Al-Infitaar! InshaAllah you and your children find it of benefit.
Basic Facts about Surat Al-Infitaar:
- This surah is number 82 in the Quran.
- It was revealed in Mecca.
- It gets its name from the word “oon-fa-ta-rut” which means to break open and it is used in the first ayah.
- This first ayah talks about how the earth will break open on Yawm Al-Qiyamah-The Day of Judgement.
- This surah gives us 4 descriptions of Yawm Al-Qiyamah.
4 Signs of Yawm Al-Qiyamah mentioned in this surah:
- The sky will split open
- The stars will fall away
- The seas/oceans will erupt
- They graves will open and everything will come out
Basic Surah Summary:
This surah talks about Yawm Al-Qiyamah and how to get ready for it. If we prepare properly then we will be rewarded with Jannah, but if we follow our desires without doing what Allah loves, then we will be punished in Jahannam.
Allah(SWT) starts the surah talking about the things that will happen on Yawm Al-Qiyamah. After these 4 things have happened(see list above), we will then be judged.
In ayah 5 Allah(SWT) tells us, ” A soul will [then] show what it has put forth and what it has kept back.” Allah(SWT) has been so generous to us, what have we done. Have we worshipped Him alone and followed what He has commanded?
When some people forget about Allah(SWT) & his generosity they begin to think nothing will happen after death. They think they can just go on living their lives without any consequences. And others think that the god they worship will save them from the punishment.
The real truth is that Allah(SWT) is the creator and He created everything around us and for us.
There are angels that watch over us and protect us called “Kee-raa-man Kaa-tee-been”. These angels write down everything we do both good and bad. Everything is recorded in our book of deeds and our books will be given to us on Yawm Al-Qiyamah.
Those who have more good deeds will go to Jannah and live in everlasting happiness among beautiful gardens and springs.
Those who have more bad deeds will go to Jahannam and be among the blazing fire.
Allah(SWT) asks us twice in ayahs 17 & 18 if we really know what the Day of Judgement is and what this day will be like. Allah(SWT) is the only One who can tell us what this day will be like and how we can prepare for it. He(SWT) is warning us of this day so can get ready, because He loves us and wants us to be successful.
Allah(SWT) tells us in the last ayah that this is the end of our test and we will no longer be able to change our book or have someone speak on our behalf. We will all stand in front of Allah(SWT) and answer for all we have done, big & small, good & bad. This is day is only scary for those who did not prepare and followed their own desires.
The ages for these lapbooks:
This lapbook can be used alongside the Ad-Duha Institute Mini Tafseer Books. They are a wonderful series of books for children. I recommend you check out their website. You can purchase the Surat Al-Infitaar mini-book or the Surat Al-Infitaar e-book. Be sure to click the correct book format when purchasing. You can buy each book separately or as a set. Check out the pages of the books here. I gave a book to each child so that they can color and participate by reading along with me.
These lapbooks can be used for level grades, I would say from maybe 3rd-6/7 depending on the age of your child/student and what they are able to do. If your child/students are on the younger side you can just choose the basic minibooks about the surah and make a smaller lapbook. And then as they get older you can incorporate more minibooks about the surah that can then be added to their lapbook.
If you have older students you can have them read and do the minibook themselves. They can either cut and paste the answers into the mini books or they can write it in themselves. You can give them a quiz after a review to see if they have fully understood and retained the information. I will be sharing a study guide and quiz later so be sure to keep a look out.
If you have younger readers you can read it together as a group and then you can help them cut and paste the answers inside the mini books. The very young may not be able to do all the mini books. You can pick and choose which ones you would like your students to do. Another option is for the parent/teacher to cut out all mini books and paste them into the lapbook so it is ready for the younger student to use. Then the student can paste the answer inside the minibook. This way the parent or teacher can focus on spending time going over and explaining the surah.
If this is too easy for your older students then you can soon check out my Surat Al-Infitaar Notebooking Pages where students/adults can write out what they know and learned from the surah.
New Series Coming Soon!
I will be coming out with a new series of surah lapbooks for Pre-k through maybe 2nd to 3rd grade. It will be a simplified version of my lapbooks, but it will give them exposure to the basic facts about the surah so they can learn along with their siblings or students. So be sure to keep a look out. I will post it on Instagram when they are ready to be released, so be sure to follow me so you do not miss out on any new content!
How long will it take to complete this lapbook?
It all depends on you and your family. Older students might finish in a few days to a week and younger students may take a couple of weeks or more. Do not feel pressured to finish in a certain time. Pace yourself and your kids to what best suits your family.

In the above photo, because the surahs are starting to get a bit longer, I have made this option for you if you decide not to use the minibooks inside the lapbook. You can use this option and just staple each packet together and place in the back pocket of the lapbook. Check out my Surat Al-Inshiqaaq lapbook to see how this is shown.
