75. Al-Qiyamah - The Resurrection
| 1 | I swear by the Day of Resurrection. |
| 2 | And by oath of the soul that reproaches itself. |
| 3 | Does man assume that We will never assemble his bones? |
| 4 | Surely yes, why not? We can properly make all his phalanxes. |
| 5 | In fact man wishes to commit evil in front of Him! |
| 6 | He asks, “When will be the Day of Resurrection?” |
| 7 | So when the eyes will be blinded by light. |
| 8 | And the moon will be eclipsed. |
| 9 | And the sun and the moon will be united. |
| 10 | On that day man will cry out, “Where shall I flee?” |
| 11 | Never! There is no refuge! |
| 12 | On that day, the station is only towards your Lord. |
| 13 | On that day, man will be informed of all what he sent ahead and left behind. |
| 14 | In fact, man himself is keeping an eye on his state of affairs! |
| 15 | And even if he presents all the excuses he has, none will be listened to. |
| 16 | O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), do not cause your tongue to move along with the Qur’an in order to learn it faster. |
| 17 | Indeed assembling the Qur’an and reading it are upon Us. |
| 18 | So when We have read it, you should thereupon follow what is read. |
| 19 | Then indeed, to explain its details to you is upon Us. |
| 20 | None except you, O disbelievers – you love what you have, the fleeting one. |
| 21 | And you have forsaken the Hereafter. |
| 22 | On that day, some faces will shine with freshness. |
| 23 | Looking toward their Lord. |
| 24 | And on that day some faces will be ghastly. |
| 25 | Knowing that they will be subjected to a torment that breaks the backs. |
| 26 | Yes indeed, when the soul will reach up to the throat. |
| 27 | And they will say, “Is there any one – any magician?” |
| 28 | And he will realise that this is the parting. |
| 29 | And one shin will curl up with the other shin. |
| 30 | On that day, the herding will be only towards your Lord. |
| 31 | Neither did he believe it to be true, nor did he offer the prayer. |
| 32 | But he denied and turned away. |
| 33 | Then he went back to his home in pride. |
| 34 | Your ruin has come close, still closer. |
| 35 | Again your ruin has come close, still closer. |
| 36 | Does man assume that he will be let loose? |
| 37 | Was he not just a drop of the semen that is discharged? |
| 38 | He then became a clot – so Allah created him, then made him proper. |
| 39 | So created from him a pair, the male and female. |
| 40 | So will He, Who has done all this, not be able to revive the dead? |
