# Translation Ayah
1 Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection; لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
2 and nay, I swear by the self-reproaching soul! وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ
3 Does man imagine that We will not be able to bring his bones together again? أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَلَّن نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ
4 Yes indeed; We have the power to remould even his finger-tips. بَلَى قَادِرِينَ عَلَى أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ
5 But man desires to persist in his evil ways. بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ
6 He asks: “When will the Day of Resurrection be?” يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ
7 When the sight is dazed, فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ
8 and the moon is eclipsed, وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ
9 and the sun and the moon are joined together, وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ
10 on that Day will man say: “Whither the refuge?” يَقُولُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ
11 No, there is no refuge. كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ
12 With your Lord alone will be the retreat that Day. إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ
13 On that Day will man be apprised of his deeds, both the earlier and the later. يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ
14 But lo, man is well aware of himself, بَلِ الْإِنسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ
15 even though he might make up excuses. وَلَوْ أَلْقَى مَعَاذِيرَهُ
16 (O Prophet), do not stir your tongue hastily (to commit the Revelation to memory). لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ
17 Surely it is for Us to have you commit it to memory and to recite it. إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ
18 And so when We recite it, follow its recitation attentively; فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ
19 then it will be for Us to explain it. ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ
20 Nay; the truth is that you love ardently (the good of this world) that can be obtained hastily, كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ
21 and are oblivious of the Hereafter. وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ
22 Some faces on that Day will be fresh and resplendent, وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ
23 and will be looking towards their Lord; إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ
24 and some faces on that Day will be gloomy, وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ
25 believing that a crushing calamity is about to strike them. تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ
26 Nay; when a man's soul reaches up to the throat, كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتْ التَّرَاقِيَ
27 and it is said: “Is there any enchanter who can step forward and help (by his chanting)?” وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ
28 and he realises that the hour of parting is come, وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ
29 and calf is inter-twined with calf. وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ
30 On that Day you will be driven to your Lord. إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ
31 But he did not verify the Truth, nor did he observe Prayer; فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّى
32 on the contrary, he gave the lie to the Truth and turned his back upon it, وَلَكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
33 then he went back to his kinsfolk, elated with pride. ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّى
34 This (attitude) is worthy of you, altogether worthy; أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى
35 again, it is worthy of you, altogether worthy. ثُمَّ أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى
36 Does man think that he will be left alone, unquestioned? أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
37 Was he not a drop of ejaculated semen, أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِيٍّ يُمْنَى
38 then he became a clot, and then Allah made it into a living body and proportioned its parts, ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّى
39 and then He made of him a pair, male and female? فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى
40 Does He, then, not have the power to bring back the dead to life? أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى
