Chapter 75, 40 verses
La oqsimu biyawmi alqiyamati
I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ
Wala oqsimu bialnnafsi allawwamati
And I do call to witness the self - reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).
وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ
Ayahsabu alinsanu allan najmaAAa AAithamahu
Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ
Bala qadireena AAala an nusawwiya bananahu
Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.
بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ
Bal yureedu alinsanu liyafjura amamahu
But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.
بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ
Yasalu ayyana yawmu alqiyamati
He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ
Faitha bariqa albasaru
At length, when the sight is dazed,
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ
Wakhasafa alqamaru
And the moon is buried in darkness.
وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ
WajumiAAa alshshamsu waalqamaru
And the sun and moon are joined together, -
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ
Yaqoolu alinsanu yawmaithin ayna almafarru
That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"
يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ
Kalla la wazara
By no means! No place of safety!
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ
Ila rabbika yawmaithin almustaqarru
Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ
Yunabbao alinsanu yawmaithin bima qaddama waakhkhara
That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.
يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ
Bali alinsanu AAala nafsihi baseeratun
Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌ
Walaw alqa maAAatheerahu
Even though he were to put up his excuses.
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ
La tuharrik bihi lisanaka litaAAjala bihi
Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ
Inna AAalayna jamAAahu waquranahu
It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ
Faitha qaranahu faittabiAA quranahu
But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ
Thumma inna AAalayna bayanahu
Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ
Kalla bal tuhibboona alAAajilata
Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ
Watatharoona alakhirata
And leave alone the Hereafter.
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ
Wujoohun yawmaithin nadiratun
Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty); -
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ
Ila rabbiha nathiratun
Looking towards their Lord;
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ
Wawujoohun yawmaithin basiratun
And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ
Tathunnu an yufAAala biha faqiratun
In the thought that some back - breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ
Kalla itha balaghati alttaraqiya
Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar - bone (in its exit),
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ
Waqeela man raqin
And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"
وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ
Wathanna annahu alfiraqu
And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ
Wailtaffati alssaqu bialssaqi
And one leg will be joined with another:
وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ
Ila rabbika yawmaithin almasaqu
That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ
Fala saddaqa wala salla
So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray! -
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ
Walakin kaththaba watawalla
But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Thumma thahaba ila ahlihi yatamatta
Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ
Awla laka faawla
Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ
Thumma awla laka faawla
Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ
Ayahsabu alinsanu an yutraka sudan
Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
Alam yaku nutfatan min manayyin yumna
Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ
Thumma kana AAalaqatan fakhalaqa fasawwa
Then did he become a leech - like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
FajaAAala minhu alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha
And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Alaysa thalika biqadirin AAala an yuhyiya almawta
Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ
