SURAH
75: AL QIYAMAH (The Resurrection).
In the name of Allah, the Gracious,
the Merciful
1
I call to
witness the resurrection day;
2
And I call
to witness the self reproaching spirit.
3
Does man think that we cannot assemble his bones?
4
No, we are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.
5
But man wishes to do wrong in the time in front of him.
6
He questions: When is the day of resurrection?
7
At length, when the sight is dazed,
8
And the moon is buried in darkness.
9
And the sun and moon are joined together,
10
That day will man say: Where is the refuge?
11
By no means! No place of safety!
12
Before your Lord that day will be the place of rest.
13
That day will man be told what he put forward, and all that he put back.
14
No, man will be evidence against himself,
15
Even though he were to put up his excuses.
16
Move not your tongue concerning it to make haste therewith.
17
It is for us to collect it and to promulgate it:
18
But when we have promulgated it, follow its recital:
19
No, more, it is for us to explain it:
20
But you love the fleeting life,
21
And leave alone the hereafter.
22
Some faces, that day, will beam;
23
Looking towards their Lord;
24
And some faces, that day, will be sad and dismal,
25
In the thought that some back breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on
them;
26
Yes, when it reaches to the collar bone,
27
And there will be a cry, Who is a magician?
28
And he will conclude that it was the time of parting;
29
And one leg will be joined with another:
30
That day the drive will be to your Lord!
31
So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!
32
But on the contrary, he rejected truth and turned away!
33
Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
34
Woe to you, yes, woe!
35
Again, woe to you, yes, woe!
36
Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled?
37
Was he not a drop of sperm emitted?
38
Then did he become a leech like clot; then did he make and fashion him in due
proportion.
39
And of him he made two sexes, male and female.
40
Has not he the power to give life to the dead?
