AL QIYAAMAH

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

75-1

I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;

75-2

And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).

75-3

Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?

75-4

Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.

75-5

But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.

75-6

He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

75-7

At length, when the sight is dazed,

75-8

And the moon is buried in darkness.

75-9

And the sun and moon are joined together,-

75-10

That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"

75-11

By no means! No place of safety!

75-12

Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.

75-13

That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.

75-14

Nay, man will be evidence against himself,

75-15

Even though he were to put up his excuses.

75-16

Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.

75-17

It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:

75-18

But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):

75-19

Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):

75-20

Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,

75-21

And leave alone the Hereafter.

75-22

Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-

75-23

Looking towards their Lord;

75-24

And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,

75-25

In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;

75-26

Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),

75-27

And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"

75-28

And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;

75-29

And one leg will be joined with another:

75-30

That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!

75-31

So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-

75-32

But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!

75-33

Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!

75-34

Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!

75-35

Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!

75-36

Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?

75-37

Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?

75-38

Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (God) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.

75-39

And of him He made two sexes, male and female.

75-40

Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
