Al-Qiyama
Clear-Sighted About Himself
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. No! I swear by the Day of Appearance; and no! I swear by the self-reproaching Self.
بسم ٱلله ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم لآ أقسم بيوم ٱلقيمة ولآ أقسم بٱلنفس ٱللوامةDoes the human being think that We will not assemble his bones? Yes indeed!
أيحسب ٱلإنسن ألن نجمع عظامه بلىWe are able to proportion even his phalanges.
قدرين على أن نسوي بنانهBut the human being desires to persist in depravity before him.
بل يريد ٱلإنسن ليفجر أمامهHe asks, "When is the Day of Appearance?"
يسل أيان يوم ٱلقيمةSo when the sight is dazzled, and the moon eclipses, and the sun and the moon are joined together, the human being will say on that Day, "Where is the escape?"
فإذا برق ٱلبصر وخسف ٱلقمر وجمع ٱلشمس وٱلقمر يقول ٱلإنسن يومئذ أين ٱلمفرBy no means! There is no refuge.
كلا لا وزرTo your Guardian, that Day, will be the place of settlement.
إلى ربك يومئذ ٱلمستقرThe human being will be informed, that Day, of what he put forward and kept back.
ينبؤا ٱلإنسن يومئذ بما قدم وأخرRather, the human being is, over himself, clear-sighted, even if he presents his excuses.
بل ٱلإنسن على نفسه بصيرة ولو ألقى معاذيرهDo not move your tongue with it to hasten it;
لا تحرك به لسانك لتعجل بهupon Us is its assembling and its recitation.
إن علينا جمعه وقرءانهthen, when We have recited it, follow its recitation; then, indeed, upon Us is its explanation.
فإذا قرأنه فٱتبع قرءانه ثم إن علينا بيانهBy no means! But you love the immediate life, and leave behind the last life.
كلا بل تحبون ٱلعاجلة وتذرون ٱلءاخرةSome faces, that Day, will be radiant, looking toward their Guardian.
وجوه يومئذ ناضرة إلى ربها ناظرةAnd some faces, that Day, will be gloomy, thinking that a great calamity is about to befall them.
ووجوه يومئذ باسرة تظن أن يفعل بها فاقرةBy no means! When [the Self] reaches the collarbones, and it is said, "Who will make [him] ascend?" and he thinks that it is the parting, and the leg is wound about the leg — to your Guardian, that Day, will be the drive.
كلآ إذا بلغت ٱلتراقي وقيل من راق وظن أنه ٱلفراق وٱلتفت ٱلساق بٱلساق إلى ربك يومئذ ٱلمساقFor he neither affirmed, nor made contact,
فلا صدق ولا صلىbut he denied and turned away,
ولكن كذب وتولىthen he went to his people, walking in vain pride.
ثم ذهب إلى أهله يتمطىCloser to you, and closer! Then closer to you, and closer!
أولى لك فأولى ثم أولى لك فأولىDoes the human being think that he will be left neglected?
أيحسب ٱلإنسن أن يترك سدىWas he not a drop of ejected semen? Then he was a clinging thing; then He created and proportioned him, and made of him two mates, the male and the female.
ألم يك نطفة من مني يمنى ثم كان علقة فخلق فسوى فجعل منه ٱلزوجين ٱلذكر وٱلأنثىIs that One not able to give life to the dead?
أليس ذلك بقدر على أن يحي ٱلموتى
