In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. |
|
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 ordeprived 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). ********* |
