The Resurrection

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?
