Quran 75, Al-Qiyama (Resurrection)

75:1Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection;

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

75:2Nay, I swear by the accusing soul (that this Scripture is true).

وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ

75:3Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones?

أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَلَّنْ نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ

75:4Yea, verily. We are Able to restore his very fingers!

بَلَى قَادِرِينَ عَلَى أَنْ نُسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ

75:5But man would fain deny what is before him.

بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنْسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ

75:6He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection?

يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ

75:7But when sight is confounded

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ

75:9And sun and moon are united,

وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ

75:10On that day man will cry: Whither to flee!

يَقُولُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ

75:12Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day.

إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ

75:13On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind.

يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

75:14Oh, but man is a telling witness against himself,

بَلِ الْإِنْسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ

75:15Although he tender his excuses.

وَلَوْ أَلْقَى مَعَاذِيرَهُ

75:16Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it.

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ

75:17Lo! upon Us (resteth) the putting together thereof and the reading thereof.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ

75:18And when We read it, follow thou the reading;

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ

75:19Then lo! upon Us (resteth) the explanation thereof.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ

75:20Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ

75:21And neglect the Hereafter.

وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ

75:22That day will faces be resplendent,

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ

75:23Looking toward their Lord;

إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ

75:24And that day will other faces be despondent,

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ

75:25Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on them.

تَظُنُّ أَنْ يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ

75:26Nay, but when the life cometh up to the throat

كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَ

75:27And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now)?

وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ

75:28And he knoweth that it is the parting;

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ

75:29And agony is heaped on agony;

وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ

75:30Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving.

إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ

75:31For he neither trusted, nor prayed.

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّى

75:32But he denied and flouted.

وَلَكِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى

75:33Then went he to his folk with glee.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّى

75:34Nearer unto thee and nearer,

أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى

75:35Again nearer unto thee and nearer (is the doom).

ثُمَّ أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى

75:36Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless?

أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَنْ يُتْرَكَ سُدًى

75:37Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth?

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِنْ مَنِيٍّ يُمْنَى

75:38Then he became a clot; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّى

75:39And made of him a pair, the male and female.

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَى

75:40Is not He (Who doeth so) Able to bring the dead to life?

أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى
