Surah Al-Qiyamah

لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَٰمَةِ۝١

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ۝٢

And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].

أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ۝٣

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ۝٤

Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ۝٥

But man desires to continue in sin.

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَٰمَةِ۝٦

He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ۝٧

So when vision is dazzled

وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ۝٨

And the moon darkens

وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ۝٩

And the sun and the moon are joined,

يَقُولُ الْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ۝١٠

Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ۝١١

No! There is no refuge.

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ۝١٢

To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ الْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ۝١٣

Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.

بَلِ الْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌۭ۝١٤

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ۝١٥

Even if he presents his excuses.

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ۝١٦

Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ۝١٧

Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ۝١٨

So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ۝١٩

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ۝٢٠

No! But you love the immediate

وَتَذَرُونَ الْءَاخِرَةَ۝٢١

And leave the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاضِرَةٌ۝٢٢

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌۭ۝٢٣

Looking at their Lord.

وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌۭ۝٢٤

And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌۭ۝٢٥

Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِىَ۝٢٦

No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍۢ۝٢٧

And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ۝٢٨

And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation

وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ۝٢٩

And the leg is wound about the leg,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ۝٣٠

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ۝٣١

And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed.

وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ۝٣٢

But [instead], he denied and turned away.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ۝٣٣

And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ۝٣٤

Woe to you, and woe!

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ۝٣٥

Then woe to you, and woe!

أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى۝٣٦

Does man think that he will be left neglected?

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةًۭ مِّن مَّنِىٍّۢ يُمْنَىٰ۝٣٧

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةًۭ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ۝٣٨

Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰٓ۝٣٩

And made of him two mates, the male and the female.

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ الْمَوْتَىٰ۝٤٠

Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
