بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ

Ahmed Ali

I CALL TO WITNESS the Day of Resurrection,

75 : 2

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ

Ahmed Ali

And I call the reprehensive soul to witness:

75 : 3

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ

Ahmed Ali

Does man think We shall not put his bones together?

75 : 4

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ

Ahmed Ali

Surely We are able to reform even his finger-tips.

75 : 5

بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ

Ahmed Ali

Yet man is sceptical of what is right before him.

75 : 6

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ

Ahmed Ali

Yet when the eyes are dazzled,

75 : 8

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ

Ahmed Ali

The moon eclipsed,

75 : 9

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ

Ahmed Ali

And the sun and moon are conjoined,

75 : 10

يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ

Ahmed Ali

That day man will say: "Where can I find escape?"

75 : 11

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ

Ahmed Ali

Never so, for there will be no escape.

75 : 12

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ

Ahmed Ali

With your Lord alone will be the retreat on that day.

75 : 13

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

Ahmed Ali

Then man will be told what he had sent ahead (of good) and what he had left behind.

75 : 14

بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌۭ

Ahmed Ali

In fact man is a witness against himself,

75 : 15

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ

Ahmed Ali

Whatever the excuses he may offer.

75 : 16

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ

Ahmed Ali

Do not forestall (the revelation before its completion) by acting in haste.

75 : 17

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ

Ahmed Ali

Surely its collection and recitation are Our responsibility.

75 : 18

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ

Ahmed Ali

So, as We recite it, follow its reading.

75 : 19

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ

Ahmed Ali

The exposition of its meaning surely rests on Us.

75 : 20

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ

Ahmed Ali

But no. You love this transient life,

75 : 21

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ

Ahmed Ali

And neglect the Hereafter.

75 : 22

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاضِرَةٌ

Ahmed Ali

How many faces will be refulgent on that Day,

75 : 23

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌۭ

Ahmed Ali

Waiting for their Lord.

75 : 24

وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌۭ

Ahmed Ali

And how many faces on that Day will be woe-begone

75 : 25

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌۭ

Ahmed Ali

Fearing that a great disaster is going to befall them.

75 : 26

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ

Ahmed Ali

Never so, for when life withdraws into the clavicula,

75 : 27

وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍۢ

Ahmed Ali

And it is asked: "Is there any reciter of charms and amulets?"

75 : 28

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ

Ahmed Ali

He will then realise it is the parting,

75 : 29

وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ

Ahmed Ali

And anguish will be heaped upon anguish:

75 : 30

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ

Ahmed Ali

To your Lord then will be the driving.

75 : 31

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ

Ahmed Ali

For he neither believed nor prayed,

75 : 32

وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

Ahmed Ali

But only disavowed and turned away;

75 : 33

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ

Ahmed Ali

Then he strutted back to his people.

75 : 34

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ

Ahmed Ali

Alas the woe for you, alas!

75 : 35

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ

Ahmed Ali

Alas, the woe for you!

75 : 36

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى

Ahmed Ali

Does man think that he will be left alone to himself, free?

75 : 37

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةًۭ مِّن مَّنِىٍّۢ يُمْنَىٰ

Ahmed Ali

Was he not an emitted drop of semen,

75 : 38

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةًۭ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

Ahmed Ali

Then formed into an embryo? Then He fashioned, shaped and proportioned

75 : 39

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

Ahmed Ali

And assigned it sexes, male and female.

75 : 40

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ

Ahmed Ali

Cannot such as He bring the dead to life?
