Chapter 75, 40 verses
La oqsimu biyawmi alqiyamati
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I swear by the Day of Resurrection.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم لا أقسم بيوم القيامة
Wala oqsimu bialnnafsi allawwamati
And I swear by the self-reproaching person (a believer).
ولا أقسم بالنفس اللوامة
Ayahsabu alinsanu allan najmaAAa AAithamahu
Does man (a ) think that We shall not assemble his bones?
أيحسب الإنسان ألن نجمع عظامه

Yes, We are Able to put together in perfect order the tips of his fingers.
بلى قادرين على أن نسوي بنانه
Bal yureedu alinsanu liyafjura amamahu
Nay! Man (denies Resurrection and Reckoning. So he) desires to continue committing sins.
بل يريد الإنسان ليفجر أمامه
Yasalu ayyana yawmu alqiyamati
He asks: "When will be this Day of Resurrection?"
يسأل أيان يوم القيامة
Faitha bariqa albasaru
So, when the sight shall be dazed.
فإذا برق البصر
Wakhasafa alqamaru
And the moon will be eclipsed.
وخسف القمر
WajumiAAa alshshamsu waalqamaru
And the sun and moon will be joined together (by going one into the other or folded up or deprived of their light).
وجمع الشمس والقمر
Yaqoolu alinsanu yawmaithin ayna almafarru
On that Day man will say: "Where (is the refuge) to flee?"
يقول الإنسان يومئذ أين المفر
Kalla la wazara
No! There is no refuge!
كلا لا وزر
Ila rabbika yawmaithin almustaqarru
Unto your Lord (Alone) will be the place of rest that Day.
إلى ربك يومئذ المستقر
Yunabbao alinsanu yawmaithin bima qaddama waakhkhara
On that Day man will be of what he sent forward (of his evil good deeds), and what he left behind (of his good or evil traditions).
ينبأ الإنسان يومئذ بما قدم وأخر
Bali alinsanu AAala nafsihi baseeratun
Nay! Man will be a witness against himself [as his body parts (skin, hands, legs, etc.) will speak about his deeds],
بل الإنسان على نفسه بصيرة
Walaw alqa maAAatheerahu
Though he may put forth his excuses (to cover his evil deeds).
ولو ألقى معاذيره
La tuharrik bihi lisanaka litaAAjala bihi
Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) to make haste therewith.
لا تحرك به لسانك لتعجل به
Inna AAalayna jamAAahu waquranahu
It is for Us to collect it and to give you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) the ability to recite it (the Qur'an).
إن علينا جمعه وقرآنه
Faitha qaranahu faittabiAA quranahu
And when We have recited it to you [O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم through Jibril (Gabriel)], then follow its (the Qur'an's) recital.
فإذا قرأناه فاتبع قرآنه
Thumma inna AAalayna bayanahu
Then it is for Us (Allah) to make it clear (to you).
ثم إن علينا بيانه
Kalla bal tuhibboona alAAajilata
Not [as you think, that you (mankind) will not be resurrected and recompensed for your deeds], but you (men) love the present life of this world,
كلا بل تحبون العاجلة
Watatharoona alakhirata
And neglect the Hereafter.
وتذرون الآخرة
Wujoohun yawmaithin nadiratun
Some faces that Day shall be Nadirah (shining and radiant).
وجوه يومئذ ناضرة
Ila rabbiha nathiratun
Looking at their Lord (Allah).
إلى ربها ناظرة
Wawujoohun yawmaithin basiratun
And some faces, that Day, will be Basirah (dark, gloomy, frowning, and sad),
ووجوه يومئذ باسرة
Tathunnu an yufAAala biha faqiratun
Thinking that some calamity is about to fall on them.
تظن أن يفعل بها فاقرة
Kalla itha balaghati alttaraqiya
Nay, when (the soul) reaches to the collar bone (i.e. up to the throat in its exit),
كلا إذا بلغت التراقي
Waqeela man raqin
And it will be said: "Who can cure him (and save him from death)?"
وقيل من ۜ راق
Wathanna annahu alfiraqu
And he (the dying person) will conclude that it was (the time) of parting (death);
وظن أنه الفراق
Wailtaffati alssaqu bialssaqi
And one leg will be joined with another leg (shrouded).
والتفت الساق بالساق
Ila rabbika yawmaithin almasaqu
The drive will be, on that Day, to your Lord (Allah)!
إلى ربك يومئذ المساق
Fala saddaqa wala salla
So he (the ) neither believed (in this Qur'an and in the Message of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) nor prayed!
فلا صدق ولا صلى
Walakin kaththaba watawalla
But on the contrary, he belied (this Qur'an and the Message of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) and turned away!
ولكن كذب وتولى
Thumma thahaba ila ahlihi yatamatta
Then he walked in conceit (full pride) to his family admiring himself!
ثم ذهب إلى أهله يتمطى
Awla laka faawla
Woe to you [O man ()]! And then (again) woe to you!
أولى لك فأولى
Thumma awla laka faawla
Again, woe to you [O man ()]! And then (again) woe to you!
ثم أولى لك فأولى
Ayahsabu alinsanu an yutraka sudan
Does man think that he will be left neglected (without being punished or rewarded for the obligatory duties enjoined by his Lord Allah on him)?
أيحسب الإنسان أن يترك سدى
Alam yaku nutfatan min manayyin yumna
Was he not a Nutfah (mixed male and female sexual discharge) of semen emitted (poured forth)?
ألم يك نطفة من مني يمنى
Thumma kana AAalaqatan fakhalaqa fasawwa
Then he became an 'Alaqah (a clot); then (Allah) shaped and fashioned (him) in due proportion.
ثم كان علقة فخلق فسوى
FajaAAala minhu alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha
And made of him two sexes, male and female.
فجعل منه الزوجين الذكر والأنثى
Alaysa thalika biqadirin AAala an yuhyiya almawta
Is not He (Allah Who does that) Able to give life to the dead? (Yes! He is Able to do all things).
أليس ذلك بقادر على أن يحيي الموتى
