English - Chapter 75 - Al-Qiyamah

swear by the Day of Resurrection

And I swear by the blaming soul

Does man suppose that We shall not gather his bones

Nay! But We are able to fashion even his fingers and toes

But man desires to defile what lies before him

asking, “When is the Day of Resurrection?”

Then when the eyes are dazzled

and the moon is eclipsed

and the sun and the moon are brought together—

that Day man will say, “Where is the escape?”

Nay! But there shall be no refuge

Unto your Lord that Day is the dwelling place

Man shall be informed that Day of that which he has sent forth and of that which he has left behind

Indeed, man shall be a testimony against himself

though he proffers his excuses

Move not thy tongue therewith to hasten it

Surely it is for Us to gather it and to recite it

So when We recite it, follow its recitation

Then surely it is for Us to explain it

Nay! But you love the ephemeral

and forsake the Hereafter

Faces that Day shall be radiant

gazing upon their Lord

And faces that Day shall be scowling

knowing that a spine-crushing calamity will befall them

Nay! But when it reaches the collarbones

and it is said, “Who will [make him] ascend?”

And he knows for certain that it is the parting

and the shank is intertwined with the shank

Unto thy Lord that Day is the driving

For he neither confirmed nor prayed

but he denied and turned away

then went to his people swaggering

So nearer to you! And nearer

Then nearer to you! And nearer

Was he not a drop of semen emitted

Then he was a blood clot; whereupon He created, then fashioned

and made from him the two genders, male and female

Is not such a one able to give life to the dead
