075 : The Rising Of The Dead

75:1

 

I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;

 

75:2

 

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

 

75:3

 

Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?

 

75:4

 

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

 

75:5

 

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

 

75:6

 

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

 

75:7

 

At length, when the sight is dazed,

 

75:8

 

And the moon is buried in darkness.

 

75:9

 

And the sun and moon are joined together,− That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"

 

75:11

 

By no means! No place of safety!

 

75:12

 

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

 

75:13

 

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

 

75:14

 

Nay, man will be evidence against himself,

 

75:15

 

Even though he were to put up his excuses.

 

75:16

 

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

 

75:17

 

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

 

75:18

 

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

 

75:19

 

Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear): Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,

 

75:21

 

And leave alone the Hereafter.

 

75:22

 

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

 

75:23

 

Looking towards their Lord;

 

75:24

 

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

 

75:25

 

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

 

75:26

 

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

 

75:27

 

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

 

75:28

 

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

 

75:29

 

And one leg will be joined with another: That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!

 

75:31

 

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

 

75:32

 

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

 

75:33

 

Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!

 

75:34

 

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

 

75:35

 

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

 

75:36

 

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

 

75:37

 

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

 

75:38

 

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

 

75:39

 

And of him He made two sexes, male and female. Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead? −− 075 : The Rising Of The Dead −−
