Section 1
[Qiyamah 75:1] I swear by the Day of Resurrection. [Qiyamah 75:2] And by oath of the soul that reproaches itself. [Qiyamah 75:3] Does man assume that We will never assemble his bones? [Qiyamah 75:4] Surely yes, why not? We can properly make all his phalanxes. [Qiyamah 75:5] In fact man wishes to commit evil in front of Him! [Qiyamah 75:6] He asks, “When will be the Day of Resurrection?” [Qiyamah 75:7] So when the eyes will be blinded by light. [Qiyamah 75:8] And the moon will be eclipsed. [Qiyamah 75:9] And the sun and the moon will be united. [Qiyamah 75:10] On that day man will cry out, “Where shall I flee?” [Qiyamah 75:11] Never! There is no refuge! [Qiyamah 75:12] On that day, the station is only towards your Lord. [Qiyamah 75:13] On that day, man will be informed of all what he sent ahead and left behind. [Qiyamah 75:14] In fact, man himself is keeping an eye on his state of affairs! [Qiyamah 75:15] And even if he presents all the excuses he has, none will be listened to. [Qiyamah 75:16] 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. [Qiyamah 75:17] Indeed assembling the Qur’an and reading it are upon Us. [Qiyamah 75:18] So when We have read it, you should thereupon follow what is read. [Qiyamah 75:19] Then indeed, to explain its details to you is upon Us. [Qiyamah 75:20] None except you, O disbelievers – you love what you have, the fleeting one. [Qiyamah 75:21] And you have forsaken the Hereafter. [Qiyamah 75:22] On that day, some faces will shine with freshness. [Qiyamah 75:23] Looking toward their Lord. [Qiyamah 75:24] And on that day some faces will be ghastly. [Qiyamah 75:25] Knowing that they will be subjected to a torment that breaks the backs. [Qiyamah 75:26] Yes indeed, when life will reach up to the throat. [Qiyamah 75:27] And they will say, “Is there any one – any magician?” [Qiyamah 75:28] And he will realise that this is the parting. [Qiyamah 75:29] And one shin will curl up with the other shin. [Qiyamah 75:30] On that day, the herding will be only towards your Lord. Section 2 [Qiyamah 75:31] Neither did he believe it to be true, nor did he offer the prayer. [Qiyamah 75:32] But he denied and turned away. [Qiyamah 75:33] Then he went back to his home in pride. [Qiyamah 75:34] Your ruin has come close, still closer. [Qiyamah 75:35] Again your ruin has come close, still closer. [Qiyamah 75:36] Does man assume that he will be let loose? [Qiyamah 75:37] Was he not just a drop of the semen that is discharged? [Qiyamah 75:38] He then became a clot – so Allah created him, then made him proper. [Qiyamah 75:39] So created from him a pair, the male and female. [Qiyamah 75:40] So will He, Who has done all this, not be able to revive the dead? |
