| | Maulana Muhammad Ali rendition of Surah The Rising of the Dead, Resurrection(al-Qiyamah)
--- |
|---|
| 75:1 | | Nay, I swear by the day of resurrection |
| 75:2 | | Nay, I swear by the self-accusing spirit |
| 75:3 | | Does man think that We shall not gather his bones |
| 75:4 | | Yea, We are Powerful to make complete his whole make |
| 75:5 | | Nay, man desires to go on doing evil in front of him |
| 75:6 | | He asks: When is the day of Resurrection |
| 75:7 | | So when the sight is confused |
| 75:8 | | And the moon becomes dark |
| 75:9 | | And the sun and the moon are brought together - |
| 75:10 | | Man will say on that day: Whither to flee |
| 75:11 | | No! There is no refuge |
| 75:12 | | With thy Lord on that day is the place of rest |
| 75:13 | | Man will that day be informed of what he sent before and what he put off |
| 75:14 | | Nay, man is evidence against himself |
| 75:15 | | Though he put up excuses |
| 75:16 | | Move not thy tongue therewith to make haste with it |
| 75:17 | | Surely on Us rests the collecting of it and the reciting of it |
| 75:18 | | So when We recite it, follow its recitation |
| 75:19 | | Again on Us rests the explaining of it |
| 75:20 | | Nay, but you love the present life |
| 75:21 | | And neglect the hereafter |
| 75:22 | | (Some) faces that day will be bright |
| 75:23 | | Looking to their Lord |
| 75:24 | | And (other) faces that day will be gloomy |
| 75:25 | | Knowing that a great disaster will be made to befall them |
| 75:26 | | Nay, when it comes up to the throat |
| 75:27 | | And it is said: Who will ascend (with it) |
| 75:28 | | And he is sure that it is the parting |
| 75:29 | | And affliction is combined with affliction - |
| 75:30 | | To thy Lord on that day is the driving |
| 75:31 | | So he accepted not the truth nor prayed |
| 75:32 | | But denied and turned back |
| 75:33 | | Then he went to his people in haughtiness |
| 75:34 | | Nearer to thee and nearer |
| 75:35 | | Again, nearer to thee and nearer (is woe) |
| 75:36 | | Does man think that he will be left aimless |
| 75:37 | | Was he not a small life-germ in sperm emitted |
| 75:38 | | Then he was a clot; so He created (him), then made (him) perfect |
| 75:39 | | Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female |
| 75:40 | | Is not He powerful to give life to the dead |
