Resurrection (Al-Qeyaamah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ I swear by the Day of Resurrection. 1 and by the self-reproaching soul! 2 What, does the human think We shall never gather his bones? 3 Yes indeed; We have the power to remould even his finger-tips. 4 Nay! (Man denies Resurrection and Reckoning. So) he desires to continue committing sins. 5 He asks, “When will be the Day of Resurrection?” 6 but when the sight is dazed 7 And the moon will be eclipsed. 8 and the sun and the moon are joined together, 9 people will say, "Is there anywhere to run away?" 10 No! There is no refuge! 11 Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest. 12 Man will be apprised, on that Day, of what he has done and what he has left undone: 13 Oh, but man is a telling witness against himself, 14 Though he puts forth his excuses. 15 [Prophet], do not move your tongue too fast in your attempt to learn this revelation: 16 Surely its collection and recitation are Our responsibility. 17 When We have recited it, follow its words attentively; 18 It's explanation is upon Us. 19 By no means! Verily ye love the Herein. 20 and neglect the life to come. 21 Some faces will on that Day be bright with happiness, 22 Looking at their Lord (Allah); 23 and upon that day faces shall be scowling, 24 Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity. 25 Nay! When it comes up to the throat, 26 and the angels say, "Who will take away his soul, 27 and he knows that it is the time of parting; 28 and leg is intertwined with leg, 29 upon that Day the driving shall be to your Lord. 30
