Holy Quran > English Translation > 75- Al-Qiyama (The Resurrection)

 1 . Nay , I swear by the Day of Resurrection ;

 2 . Nay , I swear by the accusing soul ( that this Scripture is true ) .

 3 . Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones?

 4 . Yea , verily . Yea , We are able to restore his very fingers!

 5 . But man would fain deny what is before him .

 6 . He asketh : When will be this Day of Resurrection?

 7 . But when sight is confounded

 8 . And the moon is eclipsed

 9 . And sun and moon are united ,

 10 . On that day man will cry : Whither to flee!

 11 . Alas! No refuge!

 12 . Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day .

 13 . On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind .

 14 . Oh , but man is a telling witness against himself ,

 15 . Although he tender his excuses .

 16 . Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it .

 17 . Lo! upon Us ( resteth ) the putting together thereof and the reading thereof .

 18 . And when We read it , follow thou the reading ;

 19 . Then lo! upon Us ( resteth ) the explanation thereof .

 20 . Nay , but ye do love the fleeting Now

 21 . And neglect the Hereafter .

 22 . That day will faces be resplendent ,

 23 . Looking toward their Lord ;

 24 . And that day will other faces be despondent ,

 25 . Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on them .

 26 . Nay , but when the life cometh up to the throat

 27 . And men say : Where is the wizard ( who can save him now ) ?

 28 . And he knoweth that it is the parting ;

 29 . And agony is heaped on agony ;

 30 . Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving .

 31 . For he neither trusted , nor prayed

 32 . But he denied and flouted .

 33 . Then went he to his folk with glee .

 34 . Nearer unto thee and nearer ,

 35 . Again nearer unto thee and nearer ( is the doom ) .

 36 . Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless?

 37 . Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth?

 38 . Then he became a clot ; then ( Allah ) shaped and fashioned

 39 . And made of him a pair , the male and female .

 40 . Is not He ( who doeth so ) able to bring the dead to life?
