In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent,
the Merciful.
[75.1]
Nay!
I swear by the day of resurrection.
[75.2]
Nay!
I swear by the self-accusing soul.
[75.3]
Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?
[75.4]
Yea!
We are able to make complete his very fingertips
[75.5]
Nay!
man desires to give the lie to what is before him.
[75.6]
He asks:
When is the day of resurrection?
[75.7]
So when the sight becomes dazed,
[75.8]
And the moon becomes dark,
[75.9]
And the sun and the moon are brought together,
[75.10]
Man shall say on that day:
Whither to fly to?
[75.11]
By no means!
there shall be no place of refuge!
[75.12]
With your Lord alone shall on that.
day be the place of rest.
[75.13]
Man shall on that day be informed of what he sent before and (what he) put off.
[75.14]
Nay!
man is evidence against himself,
[75.15]
Though he puts forth his excuses.
[75.16]
Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,
17:
Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.
[75.18]
Therefore when We have recited it,
follow its recitation.
[75.19]
Again on Us (devolves) the explaining of it.
[75.20]
Nay!
But you love the present life,
[75.21]
And neglect the hereafter.
[75.22]
(Some) faces on that day shall be bright,
[75.23]
Looking to their Lord.
[75.24]
And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,
[75.25]
Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.
[75.26]
Nay!
When it comes up to the throat,
[75.27]
And it is said:
Who will be a magician?
[75.28]
And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting
[75.29]
And affliction is combined with affliction;
[75.30]
To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.
[75.31]
So he did not accept the truth,
nor did he pray,
[75.32]
But called the truth a lie and turned back,
[75.33]
Then he went to his followers,
walking away in haughtiness.
[75.34]
Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,
[75.35]
Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.
[75.36]
Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?
[75.37]
Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,
[75.38]
Then he was a clot of blood,
so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.
[75.39]
Then He made of him two kinds,
the male and the female.
[75.40]
Is not He able to give life to the dead?
