Al-Qiyāmah

{بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ}

(1) I swear by the Day of Resurrection

{وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ}

(2) And I swear by the reproaching soul[1800] [to the certainty of resurrection].

{أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَلَّنْ نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ}

(3) Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

{بَلَىٰ قَادِرِينَ عَلَىٰ أَنْ نُسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ}

(4) Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

{بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنْسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ}

(5) But man desires to continue in sin.[1801]

{يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ}

(6) He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

{فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ}

(7) So when vision is dazzled.

{وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ}

(8) And the moon darkens.

{وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ}

(9) And the sun and the moon are joined,

{يَقُولُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ}

(10) Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"

{كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ}

(11) No! There is no refuge.

{إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ}

(12) To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.

{يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ}

(13) Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead[1802] and kept back.[1803]

{بَلِ الْإِنْسَانُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ}

(14) Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,[1804]

{وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُ}

(15) Even if he presents his excuses.

{لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ}

(16) Move not your tongue with it, [O Muḥammad], to hasten with it [i.e., recitation of the Qur’ān].

{إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ}

(17) Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.

{فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ}

(18) So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.

{ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ}

(19) Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].

{كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ}

(20) No! But you [i.e., mankind] love the immediate

{وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ}

(21) And leave [i.e., neglect] the Hereafter.

{وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ}

(22) [Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,

{إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ}

(23) Looking at their Lord.[1805]

{وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ}

(24) And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,

{تَظُنُّ أَنْ يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ}

(25) Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.

{كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَ}

(26) No! When it [i.e., the soul] has reached the collar bones[1806]

{وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍ}

(27) And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"

{وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ}

(28) And he [i.e., the dying one] is certain that it is the [time of] separation

{وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ}

(29) And the leg is wound about the leg,[1807]

{إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ}

(30) To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.[1808]

{فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ}

(31) And he [i.e., the disbeliever] had not believed, nor had he prayed.

{وَلَٰكِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ}

(32) But [instead], he denied and turned away.

{ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّىٰ}

(33) And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].

{أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ}

(34) Woe to you, and woe!

{ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ}

(35) Then woe to you, and woe!

{أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَنْ يُتْرَكَ سُدًى}

(36) Does man think that he will be left neglected?[1809]

{أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِنْ مَنِيٍّ يُمْنَىٰ}

(37) Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

{ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ}

(38) Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allāh] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

{فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ}

(39) And made of him two mates, the male and the female.

{أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَىٰ}

(40) Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
