Resurrection (Al-Qeyaamah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ Nay! I swear by the day of resurrection. 1 No! I swear by the reproachful soul. 2 Does man think that We shall not gather his bones? 3 Surely We are able to reform even his finger-tips. 4 Aye! man desireth that he may sin before him. 5 He asks, "When will be the Day of Judgment?" 6 But when the sight is dazed 7 the moon eclipsed. 8 and the sun and the moon are joined together, 9 That day man will say: "Where can I find escape?" 10 No! There is no refuge! 11 To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence. 12 To man will be declared on that Day that which he hath sent on and left behind. 13 Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness, 14 Even if he presents his excuses. 15 Move not thy tongue therewith that thou mayest hasten therewith. 16 Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation. 17 But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated): 18 We shall be responsible for its explanation. 19 Yet you love this hasty world 20 And you have forsaken the Hereafter. 21 (Some) faces on that day shall be bright, 22 gazing towards their Lord. 23 And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal, 24 thou mightest think the Calamity has been wreaked on them. 25 No indeed; when it reaches the clavicles 26 and the angels say, "Who will take away his soul, 27 He will then realise it is the parting, 28 And agony is heaped on agony; 29 That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord! 30
