Resurrection (Al-Qeyaamah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ I swear by the Day of Resurrection 1 And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil). 2 What, does the human think We shall never gather his bones? 3 We certainly have the power to restore them even the very tips of their finger. 4 In fact, people want to have eternal life in this world. 5 'When will the Day of Resurrection be' he asks, 6 Yet when the eyes are dazzled, 7 the moon eclipsed. 8 And the sun and moon are joined together,- 9 people will say, "Is there anywhere to run away?" 10 But nay: no refuge [for thee, O man]! 11 The only place of refuge will be with God. 12 Man will be apprised, on that Day, of what he has done and what he has left undone: 13 Nay, man will be evidence against himself, 14 Even though he were to put up his excuses. 15 MOVE NOT thy tongue in haste, [repeating the words of the revelation:] 16 Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation. 17 When We recite it, follow its recitation. 18 Then Ours it is to explain it. 19 NAY, but [most of] you love this fleeting life, 20 and leave be the Hereafter. 21 Countenances on that Day shall be resplendent, 22 Looking towards their Lord; 23 And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted, 24 certain of facing a great calamity. 25 NAY, but when [the last breath] comes up to the throat [of a dying man,] 26 And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?" 27 And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation 28 And affliction is combined with affliction; 29 that will be the time to be driven to one's Lord. 30
