| 1 | I swear by the Day of Resurrection;
| |
| 2 | And I swear by the self-reproaching person (a believer).
| |
| 3 | Does man (a disbeliever) think that We shall not assemble his bones?
| |
| 4 | Yes, We are Able to put together in perfect order the tips of his fingers.
| |
| 5 | Nay! (Man denies Resurrection and Reckoning. So) he desires to continue committing sins.
| |
| 6 | He asks: "When will be this Day of Resurrection?"
| |
| 7 | So, when the sight shall be dazed,
| |
| 8 | And the moon will be eclipsed,
| |
| 9 | And the sun and moon will be joined together (by going one into the other or folded up or deprived of their light, etc.)
| |
| 10 | On that Day man will say: "Where (is the refuge) to flee?"
| |
| 11 | No! There is no refuge!
| |
| 12 | Unto your Lord (Alone) will be the place of rest that Day.
| |
| 13 | On that Day man will be informed of what he sent forward (of his evil or good deeds), and what he left behind (of his good or evil traditions).
| |
| 14 | Nay! Man will be a witness against himself (as his body parts (skin, hands, legs, etc.) will speak about his deeds).
| |
| 15 | Though he may put forth his excuses (to cover his evil deeds).
| |
| 16 | Move not your tongue concerning (the Quran, O Muhammad SAW) to make haste therewith.
| |
| 17 | It is for Us to collect it and to give you (O Muhammad SAW) the ability to recite it (the Quran),
| |
| 18 | And when We have recited it to you (O Muhammad SAW through Jibrael (Gabriel)), then follow you its (the Qurans) recital.
| |
| 19 | Then it is for Us (Allah) to make it clear to you,
| |
| 20 | Not (as you think, that you (mankind) will not be resurrected and recompensed for your deeds), but (you men) love the present life of this world,
| |
| 21 | And leave (neglect) the Hereafter.
| |
| 22 | Some faces that Day shall be Nadirah (shining and radiant).
| |
| 23 | Looking at their Lord (Allah);
| |
| 24 | And some faces, that Day, will be Basirah (dark, gloomy, frowning, and sad),
| |
| 25 | Thinking that some calamity was about to fall on them;
| |
| 26 | Nay, when (the soul) reaches to the collar bone (i.e. up to the throat in its exit),
| |
| 27 | And it will be said: "Who can cure him and save him from death?"
| |
| 28 | And he (the dying person) will conclude that it was (the time) of departing (death);
| |
| 29 | And leg will be joined with another leg (shrouded)
| |
| 30 | The drive will be, on that Day, to your Lord (Allah)!
| |
| 31 | So he (the disbeliever) neither believed (in this Quran, in the Message of Muhammad SAW) nor prayed!
| |
| 32 | But on the contrary, he belied (this Quran and the Message of Muhammad SAW) and turned away!
| |
| 33 | Then he walked in full pride to his family admiring himself!
| |
| 34 | Woe to you (O man (disbeliever))! And then (again) woe to you!
| |
| 35 | Again, woe to you (O man (disbeliever))! And then (again) woe to you!
| |
| 36 | Does man think that he will be left Suda (neglected without being punished or rewarded for the obligatory duties enjoined by his Lord (Allah) on him)?
| |
| 37 | Was he not a Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge of semen) poured forth?
| |
| 38 | Then he became an Alaqa (a clot); then (Allah) shaped and fashioned (him) in due proportion.
| |
| 39 | And made him in two sexes, male and female.
| |
| 40 | Is not He (Allah Who does that), Able to give life to the dead? (Yes! He is Able to do all things).
