075. The Resurrection – Al-Qiyaama

in
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ﴿٠﴾
لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ﴿١﴾
Nay! I swear by the day of resurrection.
وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ﴿٢﴾
Nay! I swear by the self-accusing soul.
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ﴿٣﴾
Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?
بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ ﴿٤﴾
Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertips
بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ﴿٥﴾
Nay! man desires to give the lie to what is before him.
يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ﴿٦﴾
He asks: When is the day of resurrection?
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ ﴿٧﴾
So when the sight becomes dazed,
وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ ﴿٨﴾
And the moon becomes dark,
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ ﴿٩﴾
And the sun and the moon are brought together,
يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ ﴿١٠﴾
Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ﴿١١﴾
By no means! there shall be no place of refuge!
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ ﴿١٢﴾
With your Lord alone shall on that day be the place of rest.
يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ﴿١٣﴾
Man shall on that day be informed of what he sent before and (what he) put off.
بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌ ﴿١٤﴾
Nay! man is evidence against himself,
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ ﴿١٥﴾
Though he puts forth his excuses.
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ ﴿١٦﴾
Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ ﴿١٧﴾
Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ ﴿١٨﴾
Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ ﴿١٩﴾
Again on Us (devolves) the explaining of it.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ ﴿٢٠﴾
Nay! But you love the present life,
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ ﴿٢١﴾
And neglect the hereafter.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ ﴿٢٢﴾
(Some) faces on that day shall be bright,
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ ﴿٢٣﴾
Looking to their Lord.
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ ﴿٢٤﴾
And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ ﴿٢٥﴾
Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ ﴿٢٦﴾
Nay! When it comes up to the throat,
وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ ﴿٢٧﴾
And it is said: Who will be a magician?
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ ﴿٢٨﴾
And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting
وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ﴿٢٩﴾
And affliction is combined with affliction;
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ ﴿٣٠﴾
To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ﴿٣١﴾
So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﴿٣٢﴾
But called the truth a lie and turned back,
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ ﴿٣٣﴾
Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ ﴿٣٤﴾
Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ ﴿٣٥﴾
Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى ﴿٣٦﴾
Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ ﴿٣٧﴾
Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ﴿٣٨﴾
Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ ﴿٣٩﴾
Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ﴿٤٠﴾
Is not He able to give life to the dead?
