Al-Qiyamah

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

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

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones

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

But man desires to continue in sin

He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection

So when vision is dazzled

And the moon darkens

And the sun and the moon are joined

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

No! There is no refuge

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

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

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness

Even if he presents his excuses

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

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

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

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you]

No! But you love the immediate

And leave the Hereafter

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant

Looking at their Lord

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

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

No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

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

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

And the leg is wound about the leg

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession

And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed

But [instead], he denied and turned away

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

Woe to you, and woe

Then woe to you, and woe

Does man think that he will be left neglected

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted

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

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

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