Chapter 75 - "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, 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?
