Resurrection (Al-Qeyaamah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection; 1 But nay! I call to witness the accusing voice of man's own conscience! 2 Does man imagine that We will not be able to bring his bones together again? 3 Yea! WE are Able to put together evenly his finger-tips. 4 Yet man wants to deny what is ahead of him: 5 He asks: "When will be this Day of Resurrection?" 6 but when the sight is dazed 7 And the moon will be eclipsed, 8 And sun and moon are united, 9 on that Day man will ask, "Where can I escape?" 10 Alas! No refuge! 11 Unto your Lord (Alone) will be the place of rest that Day. 12 On that day, people will be informed of all that they had done and all that they were supposed to do. 13 In fact man is a witness against himself, 14 And even if he presents all the excuses he has, none will be listened to. 15 Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it. 16 Indeed assembling the Qur’an and reading it are upon Us. 17 When We recite it, follow its recitation (by Us). 18 then it will be for Us to explain it. 19 Nay! But you love the present life, 20 And neglect the hereafter. 21 Some faces on that Day will be fresh and resplendent, 22 Waiting for their Lord. 23 And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal, 24 In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them; 25 No indeed; when it reaches the clavicles 26 And it will be said: "Who can cure him and save him from death?" 27 He will then realise it is the parting, 28 and calf is inter-twined with calf. 29 To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession. 30
