Sourate Al-Qiyama (75) with hamza shown

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. I swear by the Day of Appearance, and I swear by the self-reproaching Self.i 2

بسم ٱلله ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم لآ أقسم بيوم ٱلقيمة ولآ أقسم بٱلنفس ٱللوامة

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones? Yes indeed! 4

أيحسب ٱلإنسن ألن نجمع عظامه بلى

We are able to restore even his fingertips. 4

قدرين على أن نسوي بنانه

But man desires to persist in transgression before him. 5

بل يريد ٱلإنسن ليفجر أمامه

He asks, "When is the Day of Appearance?"i 6

يسل أيان يوم ٱلقيمة

So when the sight is dazzled, and the moon eclipses, and the sun and the moon are joined together, man will say on that Day, "Where is the escape?" 10

فإذا برق ٱلبصر وخسف ٱلقمر وجمع ٱلشمس وٱلقمر يقول ٱلإنسن يومئذ أين ٱلمفر

No! There is no refuge. 11

كلا لا وزر

To your Guardian, that Day, is the final place of rest. 12

إلى ربك يومئذ ٱلمستقر

Man will be informed, that Day, of what he sent forward and left behind. 13

ينبؤا ٱلإنسن يومئذ بما قدم وأخر

Rather, man is, over himself, a clear witness, even if he presents his excuses. 15

بل ٱلإنسن على نفسه بصيرة ولو ألقى معاذيره

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

لا تحرك به لسانك لتعجل به

upon Us is its collection and its recitation. 17

إن علينا جمعه وقرءانه

then, when We have recited it, follow its recitation; then, indeed, upon Us is its explanation. 19

فإذا قرأنه فٱتبع قرءانه ثم إن علينا بيانه

No indeed! But you love the immediate life, and leave behind the Hereafter. 21

كلا بل تحبون ٱلعاجلة وتذرون ٱلءاخرة

Some faces, that Day, will be radiant, looking toward their Guardian. 23

وجوه يومئذ ناضرة إلى ربها ناظرة

And some faces, that Day, will be gloomy, thinking that a great calamity is about to befall them. 25

ووجوه يومئذ باسرة تظن أن يفعل بها فاقرة

No indeed! When it reaches the collarbones, and it is said, "Who will cure him?" and he becomes certain that it is the parting, and the leg is wound about the leg — to your Guardian, that Day, will be the drive. 30

كلآ إذا بلغت ٱلتراقي وقيل من راق وظن أنه ٱلفراق وٱلتفت ٱلساق بٱلساق إلى ربك يومئذ ٱلمساق

For he had not believed, nor made contact,i 31

فلا صدق ولا صلى

but he denied and turned away, 32

ولكن كذب وتولى

then he went to his people, walking in vain pride. 33

ثم ذهب إلى أهله يتمطى

Woe to you, and woe! Then woe to you, and woe! 35

أولى لك فأولى ثم أولى لك فأولى

Does man think that he will be left neglected? 36

أيحسب ٱلإنسن أن يترك سدى

Was he not a drop of ejected semen? Then he was a clinging clot; then He created and proportioned him, and made of him two mates, the male and the female. 39

ألم يك نطفة من مني يمنى ثم كان علقة فخلق فسوى فجعل منه ٱلزوجين ٱلذكر وٱلأنثى

Is that One not able to give life to the dead? 40

أليس ذلك بقدر على أن يحي ٱلموتى
