Surah Al-Qiyaama

لَا͏ٓ اُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ ۝١ۙ

1I swear by the Day of Resurrection!

وَلَا͏ٓ اُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ ۝٢ؕ

2And I swear by the self-critical soul!

اَيَحْسَبُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَلَّنْ نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهٗ ۝٣ؕ

3Does man suppose that We will not put together his bones [at resurrection]?

بَلٰى قٰدِرِيْنَ عَلٰٓي اَنْ نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهٗ ۝٤

4Yes indeed, We are able to [re]shape [even] his fingertips!

بَلْ يُرِيْدُ الْاِنْسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ اَمَامَهٗ ۝٥ۚ

5Indeed, man desires to go on living viciously.

يَسْـَٔلُ اَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيٰمَةِ ۝٦ؕ

6He asks, ‘When will be this “day of resurrection”?!’

فَاِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ ۝٧ۙ

7But when the eyes are dazzled,

وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ ۝٨ۙ

8the moon is eclipsed,

وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ ۝٩ۙ

9and the sun and the moon are brought together,

يَقُوْلُ الْاِنْسَانُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ اَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ ۝١٠ۚ

10that day man will say, ‘Where is the escape [from this day]?’

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ۝١١ؕ

11No indeed! There will be no refuge!

اِلٰى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَىِٕذِ اࣙلْمُسْتَقَرُّ ۝١٢ؕ

12That day the [final] goal will be toward your Lord.

يُنَبَّو͏ٔ͏ُا الْاِنْسَانُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَاَخَّرَ ۝١٣ؕ

13That day man will be informed about what [works] he had sent ahead [to the scene of judgement] and [the legacy that he had] left behind.

بَلِ الْاِنْسَانُ عَلٰي نَفْسِهٖ بَصِيْرَةٌ ۝١٤ۙ

14Indeed, man is a witness to himself,

وَّلَوْ اَلْقٰى مَعَاذِيْرَهٗ ۝١٥ؕ

15though he should offer excuses [to justify his failings].

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهٖ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهٖ ۝١٦ؕ

16Do not move your tongue with it to hasten it.

اِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهٗ وَقُرْاٰنَهٗ ۝١٧ۚۖ

17Indeed it is up to Us to put it together and to recite it.

فَاِذَا قَرَاْنٰهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْاٰنَهٗ ۝١٨ۚ

18And when We have recited it, follow its recitation.

ثُمَّ اِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهٗ ۝١٩ؕ

19Then, its exposition [also] lies with Us.

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّوْنَ الْعَاجِلَةَ ۝٢٠ۙ

20No! Indeed, you love this transitory life

وَتَذَرُوْنَ الْاٰخِرَةَ ۝٢١ؕ

21and forsake the Hereafter.

وُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ ۝٢٢ۙ

22Some faces will be fresh on that day,

اِلٰى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ ۝٢٣ۚ

23looking to their Lord,

وَوُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ ۝٢٤ۙ

24and some faces will be scowling on that day,

تَظُنُّ اَنْ يُّفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ ۝٢٥ؕ

25knowing that they will be dealt out a punishment breaking the spine.

كَلَّا͏ٓ اِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَ ۝٢٦ۙ

26No indeed! When it reaches up to the collar bones

وَقِيْلَ مَنْࣝ رَاقٍ ۝٢٧ۙ

27and it is said, ‘Who will take him up?’

وَّظَنَّ اَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ ۝٢٨ۙ

28and he knows that it is the [time of] parting,

وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ ۝٢٩ۙ

29and each shank clasps the other shank,

اِلٰى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَىِٕذِ اࣙلْمَسَاقُ ۝٣٠ؕࣖ

30that day he shall be driven toward your Lord.

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلّٰى ۝٣١ۙ

31He neither confirmed [the messages of Allah], nor did he pray,

وَلٰكِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰى ۝٣٢ۙ

32but denied [them] and turned away,

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ اِلٰٓي اَهْلِهٖ يَتَمَطّٰى ۝٣٣ؕ

33and went back swaggering to his family.

اَوْلٰى لَكَ فَاَوْلٰى ۝٣٤ۙ

34So, woe to you! Woe to you!

ثُمَّ اَوْلٰى لَكَ فَاَوْلٰى ۝٣٥ؕ

35Again, woe to you! Woe to you!

اَيَحْسَبُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَنْ يُّتْرَكَ سُدًي ۝٣٦ؕ

36Does man suppose that he has been abandoned to futility?

اَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّنْ مَّنِيٍّ يُّمْنٰى ۝٣٧ۙ

37Was he not a drop of emitted semen,

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوّٰى ۝٣٨ۙ

38and then a clinging mass? Whereat He created and proportioned [him],

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْاُنْثٰي ۝٣٩ؕ

39and made of him the two sexes, male and female.

اَلَيْسَ ذٰلِكَ بِقٰدِرٍ عَلٰٓي اَنْ يُّحْيِۦَ الْمَوْتٰى ۝٤٠ࣖ

40Is not [someone like] that able to revive the dead?
