Al-Qiyamah
/ The Resurrection |
|
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful. |
1 |
I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; |
2 |
And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit; (eschew Evil). |
3 |
Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones? |
4 |
Nay We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers. |
5 |
But man wishes to do wrong (even) 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 thy Lord (alone) that Day will be the place of rest. |
13 |
That Day will man be told (all) that he put forward and all that he put back. |
14 |
Nay man will be evidence against himself |
15 |
Even though he were to put up his excuses. |
16 |
Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith. |
17 |
It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it: |
18 |
But when We have promulgated it follow thou its recital (as promulgated): |
19 |
Nay more it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear): |
20 |
Nay (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life |
21 |
And leave alone the Hereafter. |
22 |
Some faces that Day will beam (in brightness and beauty) |
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 |
Yea when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit) |
27 |
And there will be a cry "Who is a magician (to restore him)?" |
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 (all) to thy 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 thee (O man!) yea woe! |
35 |
Again woe to thee (O man!) yea woe! |
36 |
Does Man think that he will be left uncontrolled (without purpose)? |
37 |
Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)? |
38 |
Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion. |
39 |
And of him He made two sexes male and female. |
40 |
Has not He (the same) the power to give life to the dead? |
