Surah Al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection) - Aya count 40
لَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِیَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ ﴿١﴾
I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
وَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ﴿٢﴾
And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).
أَیَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ﴿٣﴾
Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِینَ عَلَىٰۤ أَن نُّسَوِّیَ بَنَانَهُۥ ﴿٤﴾
Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.
بَلۡ یُرِیدُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ لِیَفۡجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ﴿٥﴾
But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.
یَسۡـَٔلُ أَیَّانَ یَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ ﴿٦﴾
He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ ﴿٧﴾
At length, when the sight is dazed,
وَخَسَفَ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ﴿٨﴾
And the moon is buried in darkness.
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ ﴿٩﴾
And the sun and moon are joined together,-
یَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ أَیۡنَ ٱلۡمَفَرُّ ﴿١٠﴾
That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ﴿١١﴾
By no means! No place of safety!
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقَرُّ ﴿١٢﴾
Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.
یُنَبَّؤُاْ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ یَوۡمَىِٕذِۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ﴿١٣﴾
That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.
بَلِ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ بَصِیرَةࣱ ﴿١٤﴾
Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
وَلَوۡ أَلۡقَىٰ مَعَاذِیرَهُۥ ﴿١٥﴾
Even though he were to put up his excuses.
لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦۤ ﴿١٦﴾
Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.
إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ ﴿١٧﴾
It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
فَإِذَا قَرَأۡنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعۡ قُرۡءَانَهُۥ ﴿١٨﴾
But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا بَیَانَهُۥ ﴿١٩﴾
Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
كَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ ﴿٢٠﴾
Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡـَٔاخِرَةَ ﴿٢١﴾
And leave alone the Hereafter.
وُجُوهࣱ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ نَّاضِرَةٌ ﴿٢٢﴾
Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةࣱ ﴿٢٣﴾
Looking towards their Lord;
وَوُجُوهࣱ یَوۡمَىِٕذِۭ بَاسِرَةࣱ ﴿٢٤﴾
And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
تَظُنُّ أَن یُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةࣱ ﴿٢٥﴾
In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
كَلَّاۤ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِیَ ﴿٢٦﴾
Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),
وَقِیلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقࣲ ﴿٢٧﴾
And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ ﴿٢٨﴾
And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ﴿٢٩﴾
And one leg will be joined with another:
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ ٱلۡمَسَاقُ ﴿٣٠﴾
That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ﴿٣١﴾
So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-
وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﴿٣٢﴾
But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰۤ أَهۡلِهِۦ یَتَمَطَّىٰۤ ﴿٣٣﴾
Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰ ﴿٣٤﴾
Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
ثُمَّ أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰۤ ﴿٣٥﴾
Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
أَیَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَن یُتۡرَكَ سُدًى ﴿٣٦﴾
Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
أَلَمۡ یَكُ نُطۡفَةࣰ مِّن مَّنِیࣲّ یُمۡنَىٰ ﴿٣٧﴾
Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةࣰ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ﴿٣٨﴾
Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَیۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰۤ ﴿٣٩﴾
And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
أَلَیۡسَ ذَ ٰلِكَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰۤ أَن یُحۡـِۧیَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ ﴿٤٠﴾
Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
