| Surah Al-Qiyamah | |||
| In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. | |||
| 1 | I swear by the Day of Resurrection; | ||
| 2 | And I swear by the self-reproaching person ( a believer ). | ||
| 3 | Does man ( a disbeliever ) think that We shall not assemble his bones? | ||
| 4 | Yes, We are Able to put together in perfect order the tips of his fingers. | ||
| 5 | Nay! ( Man denies Resurrection and Reckoning. So ) he desires to continue committing sins. | ||
| 6 | He asks: " When will be this Day of Resurrection? " | ||
| 7 | So, when the sight shall be dazed, | ||
| 8 | And the moon will be eclipsed, | ||
| 9 | And the sun and moon will be joined together ( by going one into the other or folded up or deprived of their light, etc. ) | ||
| 10 | On that Day man will say: " Where ( is the refuge ) to flee? " | ||
| 11 | No! There is no refuge! | ||
| 12 | Unto your Lord ( Alone ) will be the place of rest that Day. | ||
| 13 | 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 ). | ||
| 14 | Nay! Man will be a witness against himself [ as his body parts ( skin, hands, legs, etc. ) will speak about his deeds ]. | ||
| 15 | Though he may put forth his excuses ( to cover his evil deeds ). | ||
| 16 | Move not your tongue concerning ( the Qur'ān, O Muhammad ) to make haste therewith. | ||
| 17 | It is for Us to collect it and to give you ( O Muhammad ) the ability to recite it ( the Qur'ān ), | ||
| 18 | And when We have recited it to you [ O Muhammad through Jibrael ( Gabriel ) ], then follow you its ( the Qur'ān's ) recital. | ||
| 19 | Then it is for Us ( Allāh ) to make it clear to you, | ||
| 20 | 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, | ||
| 21 | And leave ( neglect ) the Hereafter. | ||
| 22 | Some faces that Day shall be Nādirah ( shining and radiant ). | ||
| 23 | Looking at their Lord ( Allāh ); | ||
| 24 | And some faces, that Day, will be Bāsirah ( dark, gloomy, frowning, and sad ), | ||
| 25 | Thinking that some calamity was about to fall on them; | ||
| 26 | Nay, when ( the soul ) reaches to the collar bone ( i. e. up to the throat in its exit ), | ||
| 27 | And it will be said: " Who can cure him and save him from death? " | ||
| 28 | And he ( the dying person ) will conclude that it was ( the time ) of departing ( death ); | ||
| 29 | And leg will be joined with another leg ( shrouded ) | ||
| 30 | The drive will be, on that Day, to your Lord ( Allāh )! | ||
| 31 | So he ( the disbeliever ) neither believed ( in this Qur'ān, in the Message of Muhammad ) nor prayed! | ||
| 32 | But on the contrary, he belied ( this Qur'ān and the Message of Muhammad ) and turned away! | ||
| 33 | Then he walked in full pride to his family admiring himself! | ||
| 34 | Woe to you [ O man ( disbeliever ) ]! And then ( again ) woe to you! | ||
| 35 | Again, woe to you [ O man ( disbeliever ) ]! And then ( again ) woe to you! | ||
| 36 | Does man think that he will be left Suda [ neglected without being punished or rewarded for the obligatory duties enjoined by his Lord ( Allāh ) on him ]? | ||
| 37 | Was he not a Nutfah ( mixed male and female discharge of semen ) poured forth? | ||
| 38 | Then he became an 'Alaqa ( a clot ); then ( Allāh ) shaped and fashioned ( him ) in due proportion. | ||
| 39 | And made him in two sexes, male and female. | ||
| 40 | Is not He ( Allāh Who does that ), Able to give life to the dead? ( Yes! He is Able to do all things ). | ||
