"The Resurrection"
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
"75.1": Nay! I swear by the day of resurrection.
"75.2": Nay! I swear by the self-accusing soul.
"75.3": Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?
"75.4": Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertips
"75.5": Nay! man desires to give the lie to what is before him.
"75.6": He asks: When is the day of resurrection?
"75.7": So when the sight becomes dazed,
"75.8": And the moon becomes dark,
"75.9": And the sun and the moon are brought together,
"75.10": Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?
"75.11": By no means! there shall be no place of refuge!
"75.12": With your Lord alone shall on that day be the place of rest.
"75.13": Man shall on that day be informed of what he sent before and (what he) put off.
"75.14": Nay! man is evidence against himself,
"75.15": Though he puts forth his excuses.
"75.16": Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,
"75.17": Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.
"75.18": Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.
"75.19": Again on Us (devolves) the explaining of it.
"75.20": Nay! But you love the present life,
"75.21": And neglect the hereafter.
"75.22": (Some) faces on that day shall be bright,
"75.23": Looking to their Lord.
"75.24": And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,
"75.25": Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.
"75.26": Nay! When it comes up to the throat,
"75.27": And it is said: Who will be a magician?
"75.28": And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting
"75.29": And affliction is combined with affliction;
"75.30": To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.
"75.31": So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,
"75.32": But called the truth a lie and turned back,
"75.33": Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.
"75.34": Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,
"75.35": Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.
"75.36": Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?
"75.37": Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,
"75.38": Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.
"75.39": Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.
"75.40": Is not He able to give life to the dead?
