Al-Qiyaama

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ لَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِیَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

وَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ

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

أَیَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِینَ عَلَىٰۤ أَن نُّسَوِّیَ بَنَانَهُۥ

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

بَلۡ یُرِیدُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ لِیَفۡجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ

But man desires to continue in sin.

یَسۡـَٔلُ أَیَّانَ یَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ

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,

یَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ أَیۡنَ ٱلۡمَفَرُّ

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

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ

No! There is no refuge.

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقَرُّ

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

یُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ یَوۡمَىِٕذِۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

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

بَلِ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ بَصِیرَةࣱ

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,

وَلَوۡ أَلۡقَىٰ مَعَاذِیرَهُۥ

Even if he presents his excuses.

لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦۤ

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

إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ

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

فَإِذَا قَرَأۡنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعۡ قُرۡءَانَهُۥ

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا بَیَانَهُۥ

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].

كَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ

No! But you love the immediate

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡـَٔاخِرَةَ

And leave the Hereafter.

وُجُوهࣱ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ نَّاضِرَةٌ

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةࣱ

Looking at their Lord.

وَوُجُوهࣱ یَوۡمَىِٕذِۭ بَاسِرَةࣱ

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

تَظُنُّ أَن یُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةࣱ

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

كَلَّاۤ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِیَ

No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

وَقِیلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقࣲ

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 یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ ٱلۡمَسَاقُ

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ

And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed.

وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

But [instead], he denied and turned away.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰۤ أَهۡلِهِۦ یَتَمَطَّىٰۤ

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

أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰ

Woe to you, and woe!

ثُمَّ أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰۤ

Then woe to you, and woe!

أَیَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَن یُتۡرَكَ سُدًى

Does man think that he will be left neglected?

أَلَمۡ یَكُ نُطۡفَةࣰ مِّن مَّنِیࣲّ یُمۡنَىٰ

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةࣰ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

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

فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَیۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰۤ

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

أَلَیۡسَ ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰۤ أَن یُحۡـِۧیَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ

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