English - Chapter 75 - Al-Qiyamah

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

and I swear by the self reproaching soul

Does man think that We shall not be able to put his bones together

Why not? We are able to put together, in perfect order, the very tips of his fingers

But man wishes to keep on doing evil in the future as well

He questions: "When will this Day of Resurrection be

Well, it will come when the sight shall be dazed

the moon will be eclipsed

and the sun and the moon will be brought together

on that Day man will ask: "Is there any way to escape

Nay! There will be no refuge

On that Day, the refuge will only be towards your Lord

On that Day man shall be told about all his deeds, from the first to the last

Indeed, man shall bear witness against himself

even though he shall plead with excuses

O Prophet, do not move your tongue too fast to memorize this revelation

It is Our responsibility to collect it in your memory, and make you recite it

and when it is recited, to make you follow it

and then it is Our responsibility to explain it

Nay, the fact is that you people love this fleeting life

and are heedless to the Hereafter

On that Day, some faces shall be bright

looking towards their Lord

And on that Day some faces shall be gloomy

thinking that some backbreaking calamity is about to be inflicted on them

Nay, when a man’s soul is about to leave and reaches to the throat

and those around him cry: "Is there any enchanter to help

Then man will conclude that it was the time of departure from this world

while one leg will twist around the other leg (agony will heap on agony)

But in this life he neither believed, nor offered Salah (prayed)

but on the contrary he denied the truth and turned away

Then he went to his kinfolk elated with pride

Woe to you, O man! Woe to you

Again woe to you, O man! Woe to you

Does man think that he will be left without any purpose

Was he not once a drop of emitted semen

Then he became a leechlike mass, then Allah created him and fashioned him in due proportion

and made him either of the two sexes, male and female

Has He not then the power to bring the dead to life
