আল ক্বেয়ামাহ (চূড়ান্ত বিচার ও প্রতিদানের দিন)

1 I swear by the Day of Resurrection

1 I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;

2 And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].

2 And I do call to witness the self - reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).

3 Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

3 Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?

4 Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

4 Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.

5 But man desires to continue in sin.

5 But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.

6 He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

6 He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

7 So when vision is dazzled

7 At length, when the sight is dazed,

8 And the moon darkens

8 And the moon is buried in darkness.

9 And the sun and the moon are joined,

9 And the sun and moon are joined together, -

10 Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"

10 That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"

11 No! There is no refuge.

11 By no means! No place of safety!

12 To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.

12 Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.

13 Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.

13 That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.

14 Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,

14 Nay, man will be evidence against himself,

15 Even if he presents his excuses.

15 Even though he were to put up his excuses.

16 Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an.

16 Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.

17 Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.

17 It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:

18 So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.

18 But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):

19 Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].

19 Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):

20 No! But you love the immediate

20 Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,

21 And leave the Hereafter.

21 And leave alone the Hereafter.

22 [Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,

22 Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty); -

23 Looking at their Lord.

23 Looking towards their Lord;

24 And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,

24 And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,

25 Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.

25 In the thought that some back - breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;

26 No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

26 Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar - bone (in its exit),

27 And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"

27 And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"

28 And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation

28 And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;

29 And the leg is wound about the leg,

29 And one leg will be joined with another:

30 To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.

30 That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!

31 And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed.

31 So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray! -

32 But [instead], he denied and turned away.

32 But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!

33 And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].

33 Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!

34 Woe to you, and woe!

34 Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!

35 Then woe to you, and woe!

35 Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!

36 Does man think that he will be left neglected?

36 Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?

37 Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

37 Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?

38 Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

38 Then did he become a leech - like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.

39 And made of him two mates, the male and the female.

39 And of him He made two sexes, male and female.

40 Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?

40 Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
