Al-Qiyamah القيامة

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim la uqsim biyawm al-qiyamah

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ

wa la uqsimu b-an-nafs al-lawwamah

And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].

أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ

a-yahsab al-insan allan najma'a 'izamah

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَادِرِينَ عَلَىٰ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ

bala qadirin 'ala an nusawwiya bananah

Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ

bal yurid al-insan liyafjur amamah

But man desires to continue in sin.

يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ

yas'alu ayyana yawm al-qiyamah

He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ

fa-idha bariqa al-basar

So when vision is dazzled

وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ

wa-khasaf al-qamar

And the moon darkens

وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ

wa-jumi'a ash-shamsu wal-qamaru

And the sun and the moon are joined,

يَقُولُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ

yaqul al-insan yawma'idhin ayn al-mafarr

Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ

kalla la wazar

No! There is no refuge.

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ

ila rabbaka yawma'idhin al-mustaqar

To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.

يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

yunabba'u al-insanu yawma'idhin bima qaddama wa-akhkhar

Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.

بَلِ الْإِنسَانُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ

bali al-insan 'ala nafsih basirah

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُ

wa-law alqa ma'adhirah

Even if he presents his excuses.

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ

la tuharrik bihi lisanak li-ta'jal bihi

Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ

inna 'alayna jam'ahu wa-qur'anahu

Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ

fa-idha qara'nah fa-ittabi' qur'anah

So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ

thumma inna 'alayna bayanah

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ

kalla bal tuhibbun al-'ajilah

No! But you love the immediate

وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ

wa-tadharun al-akhirah

And leave the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ

wujuh yawma'idhin nadirah

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ

ila rabbiha nazirah

Looking at their Lord.

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ

wa-wujuh yawma'idhin basirah

And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ

tazunnu an yuf'ala biha faqirah

Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.

كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَ

kalla idha balaghat at-taraqi

No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍ

wa-qila man raqin

And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ

wa-zanna annahu al-firaq

And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation

وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ

waltaffat as-saq bi-as-saq

And the leg is wound about the leg,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ

ila rabbak yawma'idhin al-masaq

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ

fa-la saddaqa wa-la salla

And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed.

وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

wa-lakin kadhdhaba wa-tawalla

But [instead], he denied and turned away.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّىٰ

thumma dhahaba ila ahlihi yatamatta

And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ

awla laka fa-awla

Woe to you, and woe!

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ

thumma awla laka fa-awla

Then woe to you, and woe!

أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى

a-yahsab al-insan an yutrak suda

Does man think that he will be left neglected?

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِيٍّ يُمْنَىٰ

a-lam yak nutfatan min maniyin yumna

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

thumma kana 'alaqah fakhalaqa fasawwa

Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ

fa-ja'ala minhu az-zawjayn adh-dhakar wa-al-untha

And made of him two mates, the male and the female.

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَىٰ

a-laysa dhalika bi-qadir 'ala an yuhyiya al-mawta

Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
