Surah Al-Qiyaama سُورَةُ القِيَامَةِ

لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ1

I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ2

And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ3

Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ4

Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.

بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ5

But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ6

He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ7

At length, when the sight is dazed,

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ8

And the moon is buried in darkness.

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ9

And the sun and moon are joined together,-

يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ10

That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ11

By no means! No place of safety!

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ12

Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ13

That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.

بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌۭ14

Nay, man will be evidence against himself,

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ15

Even though he were to put up his excuses.

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ16

Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ17

It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ18

But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ19

Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ20

Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ21

And leave alone the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاضِرَةٌ22

Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌۭ23

Looking towards their Lord;

وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌۭ24

And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌۭ25

In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ26

Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),

وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍۢ27

And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ28

And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;

وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ29

And one leg will be joined with another:

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ30

That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ31

So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-

وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ32

But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ33

Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ34

Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ35

Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى36

Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةًۭ مِّن مَّنِىٍّۢ يُمْنَىٰ37

Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةًۭ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ38

Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ39

And of him He made two sexes, male and female.

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ40

Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
