Resurrection (Al-Qeyaamah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ No! I swear by the Day of Resurrection. 1 And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection]. 2 Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones? 3 Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers. 4 Nay! man desires to give the lie to what is before him. 5 He asks: When is the day of resurrection? 6 So, when the sight shall be dazed, 7 the moon eclipsed. 8 and the sun and the moon are brought together 9 on that Day will man say: “Whither the refuge?” 10 Certainly not! There will be no place of refuge. 11 With your Lord alone will be the retreat on that day. 12 Upon that day man shall be told his former deeds and his latter; 13 Indeed, man shall be a witness against himself, 14 Although he tender his excuses. 15 (Muhammad), do not move your tongue too quickly to recite the Quran. 16 We shall be responsible for its collection and its recitation. 17 So, as We recite it, follow its reading. 18 and then, behold, it will be for Us to make its meaning clear. 19 Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now 20 And you have forsaken the Hereafter. 21 [Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant, 22 gazing upon their Lord; 23 And on that Day there shall be scowling faces, 24 Thinking that some calamity was about to fall on them; 25 Yes indeed, when the soul will reach up to the throat. 26 And it is said: Who will be a magician? 27 He will then realise it is the parting, 28 And agony is heaped on agony; 29 The drive will be, on that Day, to your Lord (Allah)! 30
