١
لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ
٢
وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ
٣
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ
٤
بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ
Allah swears by the Day of Resurrection, and by the soul that blames its owner for mistakes, that people will be raised again. Does man think We will not gather his bones? Yes, We are able to put back even the tips of his fingers as they were.
٥
بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ
٦
يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ
But man wants to keep on sinning for the rest of his life, so he asks, as if it will never come: when is the Day of Resurrection?
٧
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ
٨
وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ
٩
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ
١٠
يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ
When the eyes are dazzled with fear, the moon loses its light, and the sun and the moon are brought together with no light, man will say on that Day: where can I escape?
١١
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ
١٢
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ
١٣
يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ
١٤
بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌۭ
١٥
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ
There is no escape and no shelter; on that Day the return is to your Lord. Man will be told of all he did and all he left undone. In fact, man is a witness against himself, even if he brings every excuse.
١٦
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ
١٧
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ
١٨
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ
١٩
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ
O Prophet, do not move your tongue with the Quran in a hurry to memorise it. It is for Us to gather it in your heart and to make you recite it. When Gabriel recites it to you, listen, then follow its recitation; then it is for Us to explain it.
٢٠
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ
٢١
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ
It is not as you claim. Rather, you love this quick world and its decorations, and you leave the Hereafter and its joys.
٢٢
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاضِرَةٌ
٢٣
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌۭ
٢٤
وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌۭ
٢٥
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌۭ
On that Day some faces will be bright and beautiful, looking at their Lord. And other faces on that Day will be gloomy, expecting a great disaster.
٢٦
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ
٢٧
وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍۢ
٢٨
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ
٢٩
وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ
٣٠
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ
When the soul reaches the top of the chest, and it is said: who can cure him? And he is sure it is the time of parting, and the end of this world joins the start of the next, then to your Lord on that Day all servants will be driven.
٣١
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ
٣٢
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
٣٣
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ
٣٤
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ
٣٥
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ
The disbeliever did not believe in the Messenger and the Quran, and he did not pray to Allah. Instead he denied and turned away, then went off to his family strutting with pride. Woe to you, and again woe!
٣٦
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
٣٧
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةًۭ مِّن مَّنِىٍّۢ يُمْنَىٰ
٣٨
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةًۭ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
٣٩
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
٤٠
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ
Does man think he will be left without commands and without account? Was he not a small drop of fluid, then a clinging clot, then Allah created and shaped him and made from him male and female? Is not the One who did that able to bring the dead to life? Yes!
