English - Chapter 75 - Al-Qiyamah

Nay, [man's negative thinking on Resurrection is not right!] I do swear by the Day of Resurrection

And, nay! I do swear by the self-reproaching soul [that man's negative thinking on Resuuection is not right]

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

Yes, We have the power to restore [even] his fingertips.h

But, man desires to go on doing evil in what lies ahead of him [in worldly life]

He asks, "When will the Day of Resurrection be

So when the sight is dazzled

And the moon disappears

And the sun and the moon are joined

Man will ask that Day, "Where is the exit

No! No escape

With your Lord that day is the journey's end

Man will be informed that Day what he had sent ahead and what he had left behind [undone].h

Man would rather be a witness against himself

Even though he may put up excuses

Move not [O Prophet] your tongue with it [revelation] to make haste with it

Its collection and recital does indeed rest on Us

So when We recite it, attentively follow its recitation

Then, indeed, it is for Us to make its meaning clear

Nay, you [mankind] would rather love the fleeting present

And neglect the Hereafter

Faces that day will be bright

And faces that day will be despondent

Expecting a great disaster to befall them

Behold! When in pangs of death

And question raised, "Any magician [who could save him]

And he thought it was the time for parting

And the leg was put close to the [other] leg

To your Lord was the direction that day

And neither did he stand by the truth nor did he pray

And, on the other hand, he denied the Truth and turned his face away

And then he went back to his people boasting [telling them how `bravely' he denied the Truth]

[The Truth is drawing] nearer and nearer to you [O dying man]

To repeat, [the Truth is drawing] nearer and nearer to you [O dying man]

Does man think that he will be left to fend for himself

Was he not a tiny ovum fertilised by sperm emitted

Then he became a leech-like clinging clot of curdled blood; and He created him and set his shape right

Then He made from him pairs: male and female

Is not That One [the Creator] powerful enough to give life to the dead
