Al-Qiyaama

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۝١

Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection;

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ۝٢

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

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ۝٣

Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ ۝٤

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

بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ۝٥

But man would fain deny what is before him.

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۝٦

He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection?

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ ۝٧

But when sight is confounded

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ ۝٨

And the moon is eclipsed

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ ۝٩

And sun and moon are united,

يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ ۝١٠

On that day man will cry: Whither to flee!

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ۝١١

Alas! No refuge!

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ ۝١٢

Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day.

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ۝١٣

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

بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌ ۝١٤

Oh, but man is a telling witness against himself,

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ ۝١٥

Although he tender his excuses.

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ ۝١٦

Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ ۝١٧

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

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ ۝١٨

And when We read it, follow thou the reading;

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ ۝١٩

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

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ ۝٢٠

Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ۝٢١

And neglect the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ ۝٢٢

That day will faces be resplendent,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ ۝٢٣

Looking toward their Lord;

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ ۝٢٤

And that day will other faces be despondent,

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ ۝٢٥

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

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ ۝٢٦

Nay, but when the life cometh up to the throat

وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍ ۝٢٧

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

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ ۝٢٨

And he knoweth that it is the parting;

وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ۝٢٩

And agony is heaped on agony;

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ ۝٣٠

Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving.

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ۝٣١

For he neither trusted, nor prayed.

وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ۝٣٢

But he denied and flouted.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ ۝٣٣

Then went he to his folk with glee.

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ ۝٣٤

Nearer unto thee and nearer,

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ ۝٣٥

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

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى ۝٣٦

Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless?

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ ۝٣٧

Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth?

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ۝٣٨

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

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ ۝٣٩

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

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْـِۧىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ۝٤٠

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