سُوْرَۃُ القِيَامَة

I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; ۝ 1 And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil). ۝ 2 Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones? ۝ 3 Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers. ۝ 4 But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him. ۝ 5 He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?" ۝ 6 At length, when the sight is dazed, ۝ 7 And the moon is buried in darkness. ۝ 8 And the sun and moon are joined together,- ۝ 9 That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?" ۝ 10 By no means! No place of safety! ۝ 11 Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest. ۝ 12 That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back. ۝ 13 Nay, man will be evidence against himself, ۝ 14 Even though he were to put up his excuses. ۝ 15 Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur´an) to make haste therewith. ۝ 16 It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it: ۝ 17 But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated): ۝ 18 Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear): ۝ 19 Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life, ۝ 20 And leave alone the Hereafter. ۝ 21 Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);- ۝ 22 Looking towards their Lord; ۝ 23 And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal, ۝ 24 In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them; ۝ 25 Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit), ۝ 26 And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?" ۝ 27 And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting; ۝ 28 And one leg will be joined with another: ۝ 29 That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord! ۝ 30 So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!- ۝ 31 But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away! ۝ 32 Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit! ۝ 33 Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe! ۝ 34 Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe! ۝ 35 Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)? ۝ 36 Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)? ۝ 37 Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion. ۝ 38 And of him He made two sexes, male and female. ۝ 39 Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead? ۝ 40
