لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ﴿١﴾

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ﴿٢﴾

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

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ﴿٣﴾

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ ﴿٤﴾

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

بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ﴿٥﴾

But man desires to continue in sin.

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ﴿٦﴾

He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ ﴿٧﴾

So when vision is dazzled

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ ﴿٨﴾

And the moon darkens

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ ﴿٩﴾

And the sun and the moon are joined,

يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ ﴿١٠﴾

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

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ﴿١١﴾

No! There is no refuge.

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ ﴿١٢﴾

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

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ﴿١٣﴾

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

بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌۭ ﴿١٤﴾

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

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ ﴿١٥﴾

Even if he presents his excuses.

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ ﴿١٦﴾

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

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ ﴿١٧﴾

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

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ ﴿١٨﴾

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ ﴿١٩﴾

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ ﴿٢٠﴾

No! But you love the immediate

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ﴿٢١﴾

And leave the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاضِرَةٌ ﴿٢٢﴾

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

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌۭ ﴿٢٣﴾

Looking at their Lord.

وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌۭ ﴿٢٤﴾

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

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌۭ ﴿٢٥﴾

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

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ ﴿٢٦﴾

No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍۢ ﴿٢٧﴾

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

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ ﴿٢٨﴾

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

وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ﴿٢٩﴾

And the leg is wound about the leg,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ ﴿٣٠﴾

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

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ﴿٣١﴾

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

وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﴿٣٢﴾

But [instead], he denied and turned away.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ ﴿٣٣﴾

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

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ ﴿٣٤﴾

Woe to you, and woe!

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ ﴿٣٥﴾

Then woe to you, and woe!

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى ﴿٣٦﴾

Does man think that he will be left neglected?

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةًۭ مِّن مَّنِىٍّۢ يُمْنَىٰ ﴿٣٧﴾

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةًۭ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ﴿٣٨﴾

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

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ ﴿٣٩﴾

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

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْـِۧىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ﴿٤٠﴾

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