Resurrection (Al-Qeyaamah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ I swear by the Day of Resurrection. 1 Nay, I swear by the accusing soul (that this Scripture is true). 2 Does man think We shall not put his bones together? 3 Surely We are able to reform even his finger-tips. 4 But man would fain deny what is before him. 5 He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection? 6 When the eye is bewildered, 7 And the moon shall be ecliped. 8 And the sun and the moon will be united. 9 On that day man will cry out, “Where shall I flee?” 10 Never so, for there will be no escape. 11 on that Day, to your Lord alone is the recourse. 12 Man shall on that day be informed of what he sent before and (what he) put off. 13 Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness, 14 And even if he presents all the excuses he has, none will be listened to. 15 [Prophet], do not move your tongue too fast in your attempt to learn this revelation: 16 It's gathering and reciting is upon Us. 17 So, when We recite it, follow thou its recitation. 18 then it will be for Us to explain it. 19 None except you, O disbelievers – you love what you have, the fleeting one. 20 and are oblivious of the Hereafter. 21 How many faces will be refulgent on that Day, 22 Looking toward their Lord. 23 And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy, 24 In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them; 25 No! When the soul has reached the collar bones 26 and it is said: 'Who is a healing chanter' 27 And he bethinketh that it is the time of parting. 28 and is enwrapped in the pangs of death 29 upon that Day the driving shall be to your Lord. 30
