بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِAyah 1
I swear by the Day of Resurrection
وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِAyah 2
And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥAyah 3
Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?
بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥAyah 4
Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.
بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥAyah 5
But man desires to continue in sin.
يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِAyah 6
He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُAyah 7
So when vision is dazzled
وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُAyah 8
And the moon darkens
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُAyah 9
And the sun and the moon are joined,
يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّAyah 10
Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَAyah 11
No! There is no refuge.
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّAyah 12
To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.
يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَAyah 13
Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.
بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌۭAyah 14
Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥAyah 15
Even if he presents his excuses.
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓAyah 16
Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥAyah 17
Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥAyah 18
So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥAyah 19
Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَAyah 20
No! But you love the immediate
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَAyah 21
And leave the Hereafter.
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاضِرَةٌAyah 22
[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌۭAyah 23
Looking at their Lord.
وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌۭAyah 24
And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌۭAyah 25
Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَAyah 26
No! When the soul has reached the collar bones
وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍۢAyah 27
And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُAyah 28
And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation
وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِAyah 29
And the leg is wound about the leg,
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُAyah 30
To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰAyah 31
And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed.
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰAyah 32
But [instead], he denied and turned away.
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓAyah 33
And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰAyah 34
Woe to you, and woe!
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓAyah 35
Then woe to you, and woe!
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًىAyah 36
Does man think that he will be left neglected?
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةًۭ مِّن مَّنِىٍّۢ يُمْنَىٰAyah 37
Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةًۭ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰAyah 38
Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓAyah 39
And made of him two mates, the male and the female.
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰAyah 40
Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
