The Resurrection
75:1
لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ ١
I do swear by the Resurrection Day;
75:2
وَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ٢
and I do swear by the self-reproaching soul.
75:3
أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ٣
Does Man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
75:4
بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُۥ ٤
Nay, We are able to (again) put together in perfect order the [very] tips of his fingers.
75:5
بَلۡ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفۡجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ٥
But Man wishes to [continue] committing [grave] sins [even] in the time in front of him.
75:6
يَسۡـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ ٦
He questions: “When is the Day of Resurrection?”
75:7
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ ٧
[The Day of Resurrection will come] when the Sight is dazed [with fright],
75:8
وَخَسَفَ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ٨
and the Moon is eclipsed,
75:9
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ ٩
and the Sun and Moon are joined together —
75:10
يَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ أَيۡنَ ٱلۡمَفَرُّ ١٠
that Day will Man say: “Where is the place of refuge?”
75:11
كـَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ١١
By no means! [That day, there will be] no place of refuge!
75:12
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقَرُّ ١٢
To your Lord [alone] that Day will be the final destination.
75:13
يُنَبَّؤُاْ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ١٣
That Day will Man be informed about [all] that he put forward, and [all] that he left behind.
75:14
بَلِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٞ ١٤
Nay, Man will be evidence against himself,
75:15
وَلَوۡ أَلۡقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ ١٥
even though he were to put up his excuses.
75:16
لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦٓ ١٦
[O Prophet] Move not your tongue with the [Qur’ān] to make haste therewith.
75:17
إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ ١٧
It is Our responsibility to collect it and to recite it.
75:18
فَإِذَا قَرَأۡنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعۡ قُرۡءَانَهُۥ ١٨
So when We recite it, follow its recital
75:19
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا بَيَانَهُۥ ١٩
Thereafter, it is for Us to explain it [to make it clear]:
75:20
كـَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ ٢٠
Nay, you [People] love the fleeting current [life],
75:21
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ ٢١
and leave [forget] the Hereafter.
75:22
وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاضِرَةٌ ٢٢
Some faces, that Day, will beam [in happiness],
75:23
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٞ ٢٣
looking towards their Lord;
75:24
وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بَاسِرَةٞ ٢٤
and some faces, that Day, will be frowning,
75:25
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٞ ٢٥
fearing that some back-breaking calamity will [soon] be inflicted on them;
75:26
كـَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِيَ ٢٦
Yes, when [the soul] reaches the collar-bone [in its exit at death],
75:27
وَقِيلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقٖ ٢٧
And there will be a cry, “Who is an enchanter [to revive him]?”
75:28
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ ٢٨
And he will think that it was [the time] of parting;
75:29
وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ٢٩
And one leg will be joined with the other:
75:30
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمَسَاقُ ٣٠
That day the drive will be [all] to your Lord!
75:31
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ٣١
So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!
75:32
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ٣٢
On the contrary, he disbelieved [the Truth] and turned away!
75:33
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ ٣٣
Then did he strut back to his family [in full conceit]!
75:34
أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰ ٣٤
Woe to you, [O Man!]; yes, woe [to you]!
75:35
ثُمَّ أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰٓ ٣٥
Again, woe to you, [O Man!]; yes, woe [to you]!
75:36
أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتۡرَكَ سُدًى ٣٦
Does Man think that [after his death] he will be left unaccountable [for his deeds and misdeeds]?
75:37
أَلَمۡ يَكُ نُطۡفَةٗ مِّن مَّنِيّٖ يُمۡنَىٰ ٣٧
Was he not a [helpless] drop of sperm, emitted?
75:38
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ٣٨
Then did he become a congealed blood clot; then [Allāh] did make and fashion [him] in due proportion.
75:39
فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ ٣٩
And of him He made two pairs, male and female.
75:40
أَلَيۡسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحۡـِۧيَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ ٤٠
Has He not [the same] power to give life to the dead?
