1. |
I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; |
|
2. |
And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit; (Eschew Evil). |
|
3. |
Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones? |
|
4. |
Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers. |
|
5. |
But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him. |
|
6. |
He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?" |
|
7. |
At length, when the Sight is dazed, |
|
8. |
And the moon is buried in darkness. |
|
9. |
And the sun and moon are joined together― |
|
10. |
That Day will Man say "Where is the refuge?" |
|
11. |
By no means! no place of safety! |
|
12. |
Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest. |
|
13. |
That Day will man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back. |
|
14. |
Nay, man will be evidence against himself. |
|
15. |
Even though he were to put up his excuses. |
|
16. |
Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith. |
|
17. |
It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it: |
|
18. |
But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated): |
|
19. |
Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear): |
|
20. |
Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life, |
|
21. |
And leave alone the Hereafter. |
|
22. |
Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty)― |
|
23. |
Looking towards their Lord; |
|
24. |
And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal, |
|
25. |
In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them; |
|
26. |
Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit) |
|
27. |
And there will be a cry: "Who is a magician (to restore him)?" |
|
28. |
And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting; |
|
29. |
And one leg will be joined with another: |
|
30. |
That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord! |
|
31. |
So he gave nothing in charity nor did he pray! |
|
32. |
But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away! |
|
33. |
Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit! |
|
34. |
Woe to thee, (O man!) yea, woe! |
|
35. |
Again woe to thee, (O man!) yea, woe! |
|
36. |
Does Man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)? |
|
37. |
Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)? |
|
38. |
Then did he become a clining clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion. |
|
39. |
And of him He made two sexes, male and female. |
|
40. |
Has not He, (the same) the power to give life to the dead? |
