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