English - Chapter 75 - Al-Qiyamah

Verily I swear by the day of resurrection

and I swear by the soul which accuseth itself

Doth man think that We will not gather his bones together

Yea: We are able to put together the smallest bones of his fingers

But man chooseth to be wicked, for the time which is before him

He asketh, when will the day of resurrection be

But when the sight shall be dazzled

and the moon shall be eclipsed

and the sun and the moon shall be in conjunction

on that day man shall say, where is a place of refuge

By no means: There shall be no place to fly unto

With thy Lord shall be the sure mansion of rest on that day

On that day shall a man be told that which he hath done first and last

Yea; a man shall be an evidence against himself

And though he offer his excuses, they shall not be received

Move not thy tongue, O Mohammed, in repeating the revelations brought thee by Gabriel, before he shall have finished the same, that thou mayest quickly commit them to memory

For the collecting the Koran in thy mind, and the teaching thee the true reading thereof are incumbent on Us

But when We shall have read the same unto thee by the tongue of the angel, do thou follow the reading thereof

And afterwards it shall be our part to explain it unto thee

By no means shalt thou be thus hasty for the future. But ye love that which hasteneth away

and neglect the life to come

Some countenances, on that day, shall be bright

looking towards their Lord

and some countenances, on that day, shall be dismal

They shall think that a crushing calamity shall be brought upon them

Assuredly. When a man's soul shall come up to his throat, in his last agony

and the standers-by shall say, who bringeth a charm to recover him

And shall think it to be his departure out of this world

and one leg shall be joined with the other leg

For he believed not, neither did he pray

but he accused God's apostle of imposture, and turned back from obeying him

Then he departed unto his family, walking with a haughty mien

Wherefore, woe be unto thee; woe

And again, woe be unto thee; woe

Doth man think that he shall be left at full liberty, without control

Was he not a drop of seed, which was emitted

Afterwards he became a little coagulated blood; and God formed him, and fashioned him with just proportion

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

Is not he who hath done this able to quicken the dead
