| | Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim rendition of Surah The Rising of the Dead, Resurrection(al-Qiyamah)
--- |
|---|
| 75:1 | | I swear by the Day of Resurrection |
| 75:2 | | and by the self - reproaching soul |
| 75:3 | | Does man think We are unable to assemble his bones? But indeed We are, even after they have been scattered or reduced to dust. |
| 75:4 | | But also each finger tip with its mark or prints We will be able to reconstruct |
| 75:5 | | Indeed, impudent is he who has no shame of his sins |
| 75:6 | | and in positive unbelief he asks as to when is that alleged Day of Resurrection. |
| 75:7 | | Then when the sight is dazed by terror and fright |
| 75:8 | | and the moon is eclipsed and reflects no light |
| 75:9 | | and the sun and the moon lose orbit and draw together in one mass and go out of shape |
| 75:10 | | Shall man wonder as to which way to turn in order to have recourse to a shelter as a means of escape |
| 75:11 | | But never; there is no shelter to recourse to |
| 75:12 | | For now to Allah, your Creator, does the one - way journey proceed |
| 75:13 | | There and then shall man be informed of all the good he had done and the evil he committed and of all he had neglected or omitted |
| 75:14 | | Each one shall be his own witness, and his deeds shall be a witness of his worth. He knows exactly all that he had done and he also knows if he had perverted best things to worst abuse or to their meanest use |
| 75:15 | | and of no import shall be his excuse |
| 75:16 | | Do not rush O Muhammad to speak, but hold your tongue and listen to what the Angel relates |
| 75:17 | | We are responsible for imprinting it in your heart and impressing it on your mind, and We are responsible for its compilation and for its perusal |
| 75:18 | | When We read it to you, you follow its intonation |
| 75:19 | | We are responsible for its interpretation |
| 75:20 | | No, but you people value only the life here which is evanescent and ephemeral not lasting and faster than arrows |
| 75:21 | | You ignore the great momentous Hereafter |
| 75:22 | | There and then some faces shall feature radiant countenance expressive of deeply felt joy |
| 75:23 | | derived from the countenance of Allah their Creator, c1othing their souls with the comely vesture of virtue and innocence, as a feature of the visible radiance of the divine |
| 75:24 | | Other faces will be expressive of gloom and dismay |
| 75:25 | | Expecting the calamity of the heavy debt to Allah which they will have to pay |
| 75:26 | | No, but when the death - rattle is impending and it is time for the soul to part |
| 75:27 | | and a hopeless effort is being made in search of a healer to restore his soul |
| 75:28 | | But it is concluded that death is impending and he is to depart |
| 75:29 | | Now both legs are laid across each other in preparation |
| 75:30 | | For a one - way journey; and to Allah his Creator is the destination |
| 75:31 | | No, but he was never disposed to benevolence nor did he engage in the act of worship |
| 75:32 | | But he had refused to acknowledge the divine message and closed his heart's ears to the truth |
| 75:33 | | and among his people he walked upon air and exercised self – conceit |
| 75:34 | | So now, it serves you right |
| 75:35 | | Indeed it serves you right |
| 75:36 | | Does man think he could do what he will and act without restriction or limitation and neglect his duties and his obligations to Allah, and get away with it ? |
| 75:37 | | Was he not a Notfa (sperm) in a seminal fluid that is emitted |
| 75:38 | | Then by union with its counterpart it became Notfa Amshag* "zygote" which developed into a clinging organism. Then Allah has given it form and shape, proportions and a constitution ensuring that the individual is not alone human, but unique - from the pattern of the finger prints to the number, colour, shape and length of the eyelashes, - ref. Human Embryology M.j.T.Fitz Gerald M.D., London, 197 |
| 75:39 | | and from this male seed "sperm" did He make the two sex divisions of organic beings the male and the female |
| 75:40 | | Absolute as He is, Will He not be able to raise the dead when all creation is His |
