75: The Rising of the Dead, Resurrection
|
| 1 |
I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
|
| 2 |
And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).
|
| 3 |
Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
|
| 4 |
Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his
fingers.
|
| 5 |
But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.
|
| 6 |
He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
|
| 7 |
At length, when the sight is dazed,
|
| 8 |
And the moon is buried in darkness.
|
| 9 |
And the sun and moon are joined together,-
|
| 10 |
That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"
|
| 11 |
By no means! No place of safety!
|
| 12 |
Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.
|
| 13 |
That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he
put back.
|
| 14 |
Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
|
| 15 |
Even though he were to put up his excuses.
|
| 16 |
Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'án) to make haste therewith.
|
| 17 |
It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
|
| 18 |
But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as
promulgated):
|
| 19 |
Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
|
| 20 |
Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
|
| 21 |
And leave alone the Hereafter.
|
| 22 |
Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-
|
| 23 |
Looking towards their Lord;
|
| 24 |
And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
|
| 25 |
In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be
inflicted on them;
|
| 26 |
Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),
|
| 27 |
And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"
|
| 28 |
And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
|
| 29 |
And one leg will be joined with another:
|
| 30 |
That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
|
| 31 |
So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-
|
| 32 |
But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
|
| 33 |
Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
|
| 34 |
Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
|
| 35 |
Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
|
| 36 |
Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
|
| 37 |
Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
|
| 38 |
Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (God) make and fashion
(him) in due proportion.
|
| 39 |
And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
|
| 40 |
Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
|
