Al-Qiyāmah

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 1

لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ

I swear by the Day of Resurrection,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 2

وَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ

and I swear by the self-reproaching soul^[1]!

[1] Of the believer, which blames oneself whenever falls into sin or error.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 3

أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ

Does man think that We cannot reassemble his bones?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 4

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُۥ

In fact, We are able to restore even his very fingertips.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 5

بَلۡ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفۡجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ

But man desires to persist in sin^[2],

[2] While denying the coming of the Day of Judgment.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 6

يَسۡـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ

and asks [mockingly], “When is the Day of Resurrection?”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 7

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ

But when the sight is dazzled,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 8

وَخَسَفَ ٱلۡقَمَرُ

and the moon is darkened,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 9

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ

and the sun and the moon are brought together^[3],

[3] They both have never been together since they were created. On this Day they will be brought together, darkened, and both will be thrown into the Hell; so that all should know that they were subservient created beings, especially those who worshiped them.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 10

يَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ أَيۡنَ ٱلۡمَفَرُّ

on that Day man will say, “Where is the escape?”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 11

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ

No indeed! There will be no refuge.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 12

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقَرُّ

On that Day all will end up before your Lord.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 13

يُنَبَّؤُاْ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

On that Day man will be informed of what he has sent forth^[4] and left behind^[5].

[4] i.e., of his deeds for the Hereafter.
[5] i.e., that which he failed to do.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 14

بَلِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٞ

In fact, man will be a witness against himself^[6],

[6] His organs will testify against him, as mentioned in 36:65 and 41:20-23.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 15

وَلَوۡ أَلۡقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ

despite the excuses he may put forward.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 16

لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦٓ

Do not move your tongue [O Prophet] in haste trying to memorize it.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 17

إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ

It is upon Us to make you memorize and recite it.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 18

فَإِذَا قَرَأۡنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعۡ قُرۡءَانَهُۥ

Then when We recite it [through Gabriel], follow its recitation attentively;

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 19

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا بَيَانَهُۥ

then it is upon Us to explain its meanings.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 20

كَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ

No indeed! You [people] love this fleeting world,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 21

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ

and neglect the Hereafter.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 22

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاضِرَةٌ

On that Day some faces will be bright,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 23

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٞ

looking at their Lord^[7].

[7] The dwellers of Paradise will be granted the honor of actually seeing their Lord in the Hereafter.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 24

وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بَاسِرَةٞ

And on that Day, some faces will be gloomy,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 25

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٞ

knowing that a crushing calamity will befall them.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 26

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِيَ

Indeed, when the soul reaches the throat^[8],

[8] Upon death.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 27

وَقِيلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقٖ

and it is said, “Is there any healer?”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 28

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ

And he realizes that it is time to depart,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 29

وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ

when legs are brought together [in a shroud]^[9];

[9] The difficulties the person faces while leaving this world and moving on to the Hereafter; or the people arrange for the departure of his body, while angels arrange for the departure of his soul.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 30

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمَسَاقُ

on that Day, he will be driven to your Lord.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 31

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ

He neither believed nor prayed;

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 32

وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

rather he denied and turned away,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 33

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ

then he went to his people, elated with pride,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 34

أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰ

Woe to you, and woe!

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 35

ثُمَّ أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰٓ

Again, woe to you, and woe!

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 36

أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتۡرَكَ سُدًى

Does man think that he will be left neglected^[10]?

[10] i.e., without purpose and responsibility, or without returning to Allah for account.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 37

أَلَمۡ يَكُ نُطۡفَةٗ مِّن مَّنِيّٖ يُمۡنَىٰ

Was he not once a drop of semen emitted,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 38

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

then he became a clinging clot^[11], then He created him and perfected his form,

[11] "‘Alaqah": an embryo that resembles a leech.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 39

فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ

and made from him both genders, male and female?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 40

أَلَيۡسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحۡـِۧيَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ

Is not He able to bring the dead back to life?
