Al-Qiyamah

لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ﴿1﴾

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

وَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ﴿2﴾

And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection]

أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ﴿3﴾

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُۥ﴿4﴾

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

بَلۡ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفۡجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ﴿5﴾

But man desires to continue in sin

يَسۡـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ﴿6﴾

He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ﴿7﴾

So when vision is dazzled

وَخَسَفَ ٱلۡقَمَرُ﴿8﴾

And the moon darkens

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ﴿9﴾

And the sun and the moon are joined

يَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ أَيۡنَ ٱلۡمَفَرُّ﴿10﴾

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

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ﴿11﴾

No! There is no refuge

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقَرُّ﴿12﴾

To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence

يُنَبَّؤُاْ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ﴿13﴾

Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back

بَلِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٞ﴿14﴾

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness

وَلَوۡ أَلۡقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ﴿15﴾

Even if he presents his excuses

لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦٓ﴿16﴾

Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an

إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ﴿17﴾

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

فَإِذَا قَرَأۡنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعۡ قُرۡءَانَهُۥ﴿18﴾

So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا بَيَانَهُۥ﴿19﴾

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you]

كَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ﴿20﴾

No! But you love the immediate

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ﴿21﴾

And leave the Hereafter

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاضِرَةٌ﴿22﴾

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٞ﴿23﴾

Looking at their Lord

وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بَاسِرَةٞ﴿24﴾

And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٞ﴿25﴾

Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِيَ﴿26﴾

No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

وَقِيلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقٖ﴿27﴾

And it is said, "Who will cure [him]

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ﴿28﴾

And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation

وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ﴿29﴾

And the leg is wound about the leg

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمَسَاقُ﴿30﴾

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ﴿31﴾

And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed

وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ﴿32﴾

But [instead], he denied and turned away

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ﴿33﴾

And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride]

أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰ﴿34﴾

Woe to you, and woe

ثُمَّ أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰٓ﴿35﴾

Then woe to you, and woe

أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتۡرَكَ سُدًى﴿36﴾

Does man think that he will be left neglected

أَلَمۡ يَكُ نُطۡفَةٗ مِّن مَّنِيّٖ يُمۡنَىٰ﴿37﴾

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ﴿38﴾

Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ﴿39﴾

And made of him two mates, the male and the female

أَلَيۡسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحۡـِۧيَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ﴿40﴾

Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead
