Resurrection (Al-Qeyaamah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ I swear by the Day of Resurrection; 1 No! I swear by the reproachful soul. 2 Does man assume that We will never assemble his bones? 3 Yea indeed, We are able to make whole his very finger-tips! 4 Rather, the human desires to continue in his immorality, 5 he asks, "When is this Day of Resurrection to be?" 6 So when the sight becomes dazed, 7 And the moon is buried in darkness. 8 And the sun and the moon shall be joined. 9 That day man will say: "Where can I find escape?" 10 Never so, for there will be no escape. 11 Unto your Lord (Alone) will be the place of rest that Day. 12 On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind. 13 Aye! man against himself shall be an enlightenment. 14 even though they make excuses. 15 O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), do not cause your tongue to move along with the Qur’an in order to learn it faster. 16 Lo! upon Us (resteth) the putting together thereof and the reading thereof. 17 When We have recited it, follow its words attentively; 18 then it will be for Us to explain it. 19 NAY, but [most of] you love this fleeting life, 20 And neglect the hereafter. 21 How many faces will be refulgent on that Day, 22 looking up to their Sustainer; 23 And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted, 24 dreading some great affliction. 25 By no means! When it cometh up to the collar-bone. 26 and it is said: 'Who is a healing chanter' 27 and when he thinks it is the time of departure 28 And affliction is combined with affliction; 29 Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving. 30
