English - Chapter 75 - Al-Qiyamah

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

And I swear by the self-accusing human soul

Does human think that We will never assemble his bones (to resurrect him)

Yes indeed, We are able to make whole his very fingertips

But human (by willful choice) denies what lies ahead of him (the other life, because he desires to live only as he pleases)

He asks: "When is the Day of Resurrection

When the eyesight is confounded (through fear)

And the moon is darkened

And the sun and the moon are joined together

On that Day human will say: "Where is the escape

By no means! No refuge (to flee to)

To your Lord the journey’s end will be on that Day

Human will be made understand on that Day all (the good and evil) that he has forwarded (to his afterlife while in the world), and all (the good and evil) that he has left behind

Indeed, human will be an eye-witness (providing evidence) against himself

Even though he puts forth his excuses

(O Prophet!) Move not your tongue to hasten it (for safekeeping in your heart)

Surely it is for Us to collect it (in your heart) and enable you to recite it (by heart)

So when We recite it, follow its recitation

Thereafter, it is for Us to explain it

Yes indeed! but you (people) love and prefer what is before you (the present, worldly life)

And abandon that which is to come later (the Hereafter)

Some faces on that Day will be radiant (with contentment)

Looking up toward their Lord

And some faces on that Day will be despondent

Knowing that a crushing calamity is about to be inflicted on them

No indeed! (No doubt remains for the meaning of life) when it (the last breath) comes up to the throat

While he (who is dying) is certain that it is the (moment of) parting

And (in the agony of death) one leg is intertwined with the other

To your Lord is, on that Day, the driving

He did not affirm the truth (of the Divine Message conveyed to him), nor did he do the Prayer

Rather, he denied and turned away

Thereafter he went back to his family in gleeful conceit

So: well have you deserved (this doom), well have you deserved (it)

Again, well have you deserved it and well deserved

Does human think that he is to be left to himself (to go about as he pleases)

Was he not once a mere drop of semen poured forth

Then he became a clot clinging (to the womb wall), and He created and fashioned (him) in due proportions

Then He made of him a pair, male and female

Is not He (Who does that, equally) able to bring the dead back to life
