Al-Qiyamah

وَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ

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

أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُۥ

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

بَلۡ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفۡجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ

But man desires to continue in sin

يَسۡـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ

He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ

So when vision is dazzled

وَخَسَفَ ٱلۡقَمَرُ

And the moon darkens

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ

And the sun and the moon are joined

يَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ أَيۡنَ ٱلۡمَفَرُّ

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

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ

No! There is no refuge

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقَرُّ

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

يُنَبَّؤُاْ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

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

بَلِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٞ

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness

وَلَوۡ أَلۡقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ

Even if he presents his excuses

لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦٓ

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

إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ

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

فَإِذَا قَرَأۡنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعۡ قُرۡءَانَهُۥ

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا بَيَانَهُۥ

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you]

كَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ

No! But you love the immediate

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ

And leave the Hereafter

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاضِرَةٌ

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٞ

Looking at their Lord

وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بَاسِرَةٞ

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

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٞ

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

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِيَ

No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

وَقِيلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقٖ

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

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ

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

وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ

And the leg is wound about the leg

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمَسَاقُ

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ

And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed

وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

But [instead], he denied and turned away

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ

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

أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰ

Woe to you, and woe

ثُمَّ أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰٓ

Then woe to you, and woe

أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتۡرَكَ سُدًى

Does man think that he will be left neglected

أَلَمۡ يَكُ نُطۡفَةٗ مِّن مَّنِيّٖ يُمۡنَىٰ

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

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

فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ

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

أَلَيۡسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحۡـِۧيَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ

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