# Translation Ayah
1 No! I swear by the Day of Resurrection. لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
2 No! I swear by the reproachful soul. وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ
3 What, does man reckon We shall not gather his bones? أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَلَّن نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ
4 Yes indeed; We are able to shape again his fingers. بَلَى قَادِرِينَ عَلَى أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ
5 Nay, but man desires to continue on as a libertine, بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ
6 asking, 'When shall be the Day of Resurrection?' يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ
7 But when the sight is dazed فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ
8 and the moon is eclipsed, وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ
9 and the sun and moon are brought together, وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ
10 upon that day man shall say, 'Whither to flee?' يَقُولُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ
11 No indeed; not a refuge! كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ
12 Upon that day the recourse shall be to thy Lord. إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ
13 Upon that day man shall be told his former deeds and his latter; يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ
14 nay, man shall be a clear proof against himself, بَلِ الْإِنسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ
15 even though he offer his excuses. وَلَوْ أَلْقَى مَعَاذِيرَهُ
16 Move not thy tongue with it to hasten it; لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ
17 Ours it is to gather it, and to recite it. إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ
18 So, when We recite it, follow thou its recitation. فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ
19 Then Ours it is to explain it. ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ
20 No indeed; but you love the hasty world, كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ
21 and leave be the Hereafter. وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ
22 Upon that day faces shall be radiant, وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ
23 gazing upon their Lord; إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ
24 and upon that day faces shall be scowling, وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ
25 thou mightest think the Calamity has been wreaked on them. تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ
26 No indeed; when it reaches the clavicles كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتْ التَّرَاقِيَ
27 and it is said, 'Who is an enchanter?' وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ
28 and he thinks that it is the parting وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ
29 and leg is intertwined with leg, وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ
30 upon that day unto thy Lord shall be the driving. إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ
31 For he confirmed it not, and did not pray, فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّى
32 but he cried it lies, and he turned away, وَلَكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
33 then he went to his household arrogantly. ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّى
34 Nearer to thee and nearer أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى
35 then nearer to thee and nearer! ثُمَّ أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى
36 What, does man reckon he shall be left to roam at will? أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
37 Was he not a sperm-drop spilled? أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِيٍّ يُمْنَى
38 Then he was a blood-clot, and He created and formed, ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّى
39 and He made of him two kinds, male and female. فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى
40 What, is He not able to quicken the dead? أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى
