English - Chapter 75 - Al-Qiyamah

By the Day of Resurrection

and by the self-reproaching soul

Does man think that We cannot [resurrect him and] bring his bones together again

Indeed, We have the power to restore his very finger tips

Yet man wants to deny what is ahead of him

he asks, "When is this Day of Resurrection to be

But [on that Day], when mortal sight is confounded

and the moon is eclipsed

when the sun and the moon are brought together

on that Day man will ask, "Where can I escape

But there is nowhere to take refuge

on that Day, to your Lord alone is the recourse

On that Day, man will be told of all that he has sent before and what he has left behind

Indeed, man shall be a witness against himself

in spite of all the excuses he may offer

[Prophet], do not move your tongue too fast in your attempt to learn this revelation

We Ourself shall see to its collection and recital

When We have recited it, follow its words attentively

and then, it will be for Us to make its meaning clear

Truly, you love immediate gain

Some faces will be radiant on that Day

looking towards their Lord

and some faces will on that Day be gloomy

dreading some great affliction

But when [man's soul] reaches the throat

and when it is asked: "Could any magician save him now

and he knows that it is the time of parting

when his legs are brought together [when affliction is combined with affliction]

on that Day he will be driven towards your Lord

He neither believed nor prayed

but rejected the Truth and turned away

Then he went off to his people, swaggering

Woe to you, [O man!], yes, woe to you

Again, woe to you, [O man!], yes, woe to you

Does man, then, think that he is to be left to himself, to go about at will

Was he not once a drop of ejaculated semen

which then became a leech-like clot; then God shaped and fashioned him in due proportion

fashioning out of him the two sexes, the male and the female

Then is He not able to bring the dead back to life
