Surah 75: Al-Qiyaama سُورَةُ القِيَامَةِ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ 1

¹Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection;

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ 2

²Nay, I swear by the accusing soul (that this Scripture is true).

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ 3

³Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ 4

⁴Yea, verily. We are Able to restore his very fingers!

بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ 5

⁵But man would fain deny what is before him.

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ 6

⁶He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection?

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ 7

⁷But when sight is confounded

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ 8

⁸And the moon is eclipsed

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ 9

⁹And sun and moon are united,

يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ 10

¹⁰On that day man will cry: Whither to flee!

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ 11

¹¹Alas! No refuge!

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ 12

¹²Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day.

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ 13

¹³On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind.

بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌ 14

¹⁴Oh, but man is a telling witness against himself,

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ 15

¹⁵Although he tender his excuses.

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ 16

¹⁶Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ 17

¹⁷Lo! upon Us (resteth) the putting together thereof and the reading thereof.

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ 18

¹⁸And when We read it, follow thou the reading;

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ 19

¹⁹Then lo! upon Us (resteth) the explanation thereof.

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ 20

²⁰Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ 21

²¹And neglect the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ 22

²²That day will faces be resplendent,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ 23

²³Looking toward their Lord;

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ 24

²⁴And that day will other faces be despondent,

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ 25

²⁵Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on them.

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ 26

²⁶Nay, but when the life cometh up to the throat

وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ 27

²⁷And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now)?

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ 28

²⁸And he knoweth that it is the parting;

وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ 29

²⁹And agony is heaped on agony;

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ 30

³⁰Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving.

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ 31

³¹For he neither trusted, nor prayed.

وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ 32

³²But he denied and flouted.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ 33

³³Then went he to his folk with glee.

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ 34

³⁴Nearer unto thee and nearer,

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ 35

³⁵Again nearer unto thee and nearer (is the doom).

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى 36

³⁶Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless?

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ 37

³⁷Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth?

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ 38

³⁸Then he became a clot; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ 39

³⁹And made of him a pair, the male and female.

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْـِۧىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ 40

⁴⁰Is not He (Who doeth so) Able to bring the dead to life?
