English - Chapter 75 - Al-Qiyamah

I do call to witness the Resurrection Day

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

Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones

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

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

He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection

At length, when the sight is dazed

And the moon is buried in darkness

And the sun and moon are joined together

That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge

By no means! No place of safety

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

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

Nay, man will be evidence against himself

Even though he were to put up his excuses

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

It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it

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

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

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

And leave alone the Hereafter

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

Looking towards their Lord

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

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

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

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

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

And one leg will be joined with another

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

So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray

But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away

Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit

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

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

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

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

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

And of him He made two sexes, male and female

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