Resurrection (Al-Qeyaamah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ I CALL TO WITNESS the Day of Resurrection, 1 And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection]. 2 Does man think that We shall not gather his bones? 3 Surely We are able to reform even his finger-tips. 4 Nay! (Man denies Resurrection and Reckoning. So) he desires to continue committing sins. 5 He asketh: when will the Day of Resurrection be? 6 So when the sight becomes dazed, 7 And the moon darkens 8 And the sun and the moon shall be joined. 9 That day man will say: "Where can I find escape?" 10 By no means! No place of safety! 11 On that day, the station is only towards your Lord. 12 On that day, people will be informed of all that they had done and all that they were supposed to do. 13 Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness, 14 even though he offer his excuses. 15 [Prophet], do not move your tongue too fast in your attempt to learn this revelation: 16 We Ourself shall see to its collection and recital. 17 So when We have read it, you should thereupon follow what is read. 18 It's explanation is upon Us. 19 NAY, but [most of] you love this fleeting life, 20 and leave be the Hereafter. 21 Some faces will on that Day be bright with happiness, 22 Looking towards their Lord; 23 and upon that day faces shall be scowling, 24 Imagining that there will befall them a waiste-breaking calomity. 25 By no means! When it cometh up to the collar-bone. 26 And it is said: Who will be a magician? 27 And he knoweth that it is the parting; 28 and calf is inter-twined with calf. 29 on that Day he will be driven towards your Lord! 30
