Al-Qiyama
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I swear by the Day of Resurrection; (1) And
I swear by the self-reproaching person (a believer). (2) Does man (a
disbeliever) think that We shall not assemble his
bones? (3) Yes, We are Able to put together in perfect order the tips of
his fingers.[] (4) Nay! (Man denies Resurrection and
Reckoning. So he) desires to continue committing sins. (5) He asks: "When
will be this Day of Resurrection?" (6) So, when the sight shall be dazed, (7) And the moon will be
eclipsed, (8) And the sun and moon will be joined together (by going one into
the other or folded up or deprived of their light).[]
(9) On that Day man will
say: "Where (is the refuge) to flee?" (10) No! There is no
refuge! (11) Unto your Lord (Alone) will be the place of rest that Day. (12) On that Day man will
be informed of what he sent forward (of his evil or good deeds), and what he
left behind (of his good or evil traditions). (13) Nay! Man will be a
witness against himself [as his body parts (skin, hands, legs, etc.) will speak
about his deeds]. (14) Though he may put forth his excuses (to cover his evil
deeds). (15) Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'ân, O Muhammad SAW) to
make haste therewith. (16) It is for Us to collect it and
to give you (O Muhammad SAW) the ability to recite it (the Qur'ân), (17) And when We have
recited it to you [O Muhammad SAW through Jibril (Gabriel)], then follow you
its (the Qur'ân's) recital. (18) Then it is for Us
(Allâh) to make it clear (to you). (19) Not [as you think, that you (mankind) will
not be resurrected and recompensed for your deeds], but you (men) love the
present life of this world, (20) And neglect the
Hereafter. (21) Some faces that Day shall be Nâdirah (shining and radiant). (22) Looking at their Lord
(Allâh); (23) And some faces, that Day, will be Bâsirah (dark, gloomy,
frowning, and sad), (24) Thinking that some calamity is about to fall on them; (25) Nay, when (the soul)
reaches to the collar bone (i.e. up to the throat in its exit), (26) And it will be said:
"Who can cure him (and save him from death)?" (27) And he (the dying
person) will conclude that it was (the time) of parting (death); (28) And one leg will be
joined with another leg (shrouded)[] (29) The drive will be, on
that Day, to your Lord (Allâh)! (30) So he (the disbeliever) neither believed (in
this Qur'ân, and in the Message of Muhammad SAW) nor prayed! (31) But on the contrary,
he belied (this Qur'ân and the Message of Muhammad
SAW) and turned away! (32) Then he walked in conceit (full pride) to his family
admiring himself! (33) Woe to you [O man (disbeliever)]! And then (again) woe to
you! (34) Again, woe to you [O man (disbeliever)]! And then (again) woe to
you! (35) Does man think that he will be left neglected [without being
punished or rewarded for the obligatory duties enjoined by his Lord (Allâh) on
him]? (36) Was he not a Nutfah (mixed male and female sexual discharge) of
semen emitted (poured forth)? (37) Then he became an 'Alaqa (a clot); then
(Allâh) shaped and fashioned (him) in due proportion.[]
(38) And made him in two
sexes, male and female. (39) Is not He (Allâh Who
does that), Able to give life to the dead? (Yes! He is Able to do all things).
