# Translation Ayah
1 I swear by the Day of Resurrection. لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
2 And by oath of the soul that reproaches itself. وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ
3 Does man assume that We will never assemble his bones? أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَلَّن نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ
4 Surely yes, why not? We can properly make all his phalanxes. بَلَى قَادِرِينَ عَلَى أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ
5 In fact man wishes to commit evil in front of Him! بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ
6 He asks, “When will be the Day of Resurrection?” يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ
7 So when the eyes will be blinded by light. فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ
8 And the moon will be eclipsed. وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ
9 And the sun and the moon will be united. وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ
10 On that day man will cry out, “Where shall I flee?” يَقُولُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ
11 Never! There is no refuge! كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ
12 On that day, the station is only towards your Lord. إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ
13 On that day, man will be informed of all what he sent ahead and left behind. يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ
14 In fact, man himself is keeping an eye on his state of affairs! بَلِ الْإِنسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ
15 And even if he presents all the excuses he has, none will be listened to. وَلَوْ أَلْقَى مَعَاذِيرَهُ
16 O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), do not cause your tongue to move along with the Qur’an in order to learn it faster. لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ
17 Indeed assembling the Qur’an and reading it are upon Us. إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ
18 So when We have read it, you should thereupon follow what is read. فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ
19 Then indeed, to explain its details to you is upon Us. ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ
20 None except you, O disbelievers – you love what you have, the fleeting one. كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ
21 And you have forsaken the Hereafter. وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ
22 On that day, some faces will shine with freshness. وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ
23 Looking toward their Lord. إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ
24 And on that day some faces will be ghastly. وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ
25 Knowing that they will be subjected to a torment that breaks the backs. تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ
26 Yes indeed, when the soul will reach up to the throat. كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتْ التَّرَاقِيَ
27 And they will say, “Is there any one – any magician?” وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ
28 And he will realise that this is the parting. وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ
29 And one shin will curl up with the other shin. وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ
30 On that day, the herding will be only towards your Lord. إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ
31 Neither did he believe it to be true, nor did he offer the prayer. فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّى
32 But he denied and turned away. وَلَكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
33 Then he went back to his home in pride. ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّى
34 Your ruin has come close, still closer. أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى
35 Again your ruin has come close, still closer. ثُمَّ أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى
36 Does man assume that he will be let loose? أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
37 Was he not just a drop of the semen that is discharged? أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِيٍّ يُمْنَى
38 He then became a clot – so Allah created him, then made him proper. ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّى
39 So created from him a pair, the male and female. فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى
40 So will He, Who has done all this, not be able to revive the dead? أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى
