Yusuf Ali, Surah 75: The Resurrection (Al-Qiyaama)

Surahs

[1] I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;

[2] And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).

[3] Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?

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

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

[6] He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

[7] At length, when the sight is dazed,

[8] And the moon is buried in darkness.

[9] And the sun and moon are joined together,-

[10] That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"

[11] By no means! No place of safety!

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

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

[14] Nay, man will be evidence against himself,

[15] Even though he were to put up his excuses.

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

[17] It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:

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

[19] Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):

[20] Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,

[21] And leave alone the Hereafter.

[22] Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-

[23] Looking towards their Lord;

[24] And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,

[25] In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;

[26] Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),

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

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

[29] And one leg will be joined with another:

[30] That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!

[31] So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-

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

[33] Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!

[34] Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!

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

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

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

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

[39] And of him He made two sexes, male and female.

[40] Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
