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