By the Day of Resurrection
Translation 1260
One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)
By the Day of Resurrection
Translation 1260
and by the self-reproaching soul
Translation 1260
Does man think We shall not put his bones back together
Translation 1260
In fact, We can reshape his very fingertips
Translation 1260
Yet man wants to deny what is ahead of him
Translation 1260
he says, ‘So, when will this Day of Resurrection be?’
Translation 1260
When eyes are dazzled
Translation 1260
and the moon eclipsed
Translation 1260
when the sun and the moon are brought together
Translation 1260
on that Day man will say, ‘Where can I escape?’
Translation 1260
Truly, there is no refuge
Translation 1260
they will all return to your Lord on that Day
Translation 1260
On that Day, man will be told what he put first and what he put last
Translation 1260
Truly, man is a clear witness against himself
Translation 1260
despite all the excuses he may put forward
Translation 1260
[Prophet], do not rush your tongue in an attempt to hasten [your memorization of] the Revelation
Translation 1260
We shall make sure of its safe collection and recitation
Translation 1260
When We have recited it, repeat the recitation
Translation 1260
and We shall make it clear
Translation 1260
Truly you [people] love this fleeting world
Translation 1260
and neglect the life to come
Translation 1260
On that Day there will be radiant faces
Translation 1260
looking towards their Lord
Translation 1260
and on that Day there will be the sad and despairing faces
Translation 1260
of those who realize that a great calamity is about to befall them
Translation 1260
Truly, when the soul reaches the collarbone
Translation 1260
when it is said, ‘Could any charm-healer save him now?’
Translation 1260
when he knows it is the final parting
Translation 1260
when his legs are brought together
Translation 1260
on that day he will be driven towards your Lord
Translation 1260
He neither believed nor prayed
Translation 1260
but denied the truth and turned away
Translation 1260
walking back to his people with a conceited swagger
Translation 1260
Closer and closer it comes to you
Translation 1260
Closer and closer still
Translation 1260
Does man think he will be left alone
Translation 1260
Was he not just a drop of spilt-out sperm
Translation 1260
which became a clinging form, which God shaped in due proportion
Translation 1260
fashioning from it the two sexes, male and female
Translation 1260
Does He who can do this not have the power to bring the dead back to life
Translation 1260
Was there not a period of time when man was nothing to speak of
Translation 1260
We created man from a drop of mingled fluid to put him to the test; We gave him hearing and sight
Translation 1260
We guided him to the right path, whether he was grateful or not
Translation 1260
We have prepared chains, iron collars, and blazing Fire for the disbelievers, but
Translation 1260
the righteous will have a drink mixed with kafur
Translation 1260
a spring for God’s servants, which flows abundantly at their wish
Translation 1260
They fulfil their vows; they fear a day of widespread woes
Translation 1260
they give food to the poor, the orphan, and the captive, though they love it themselves
Translation 1260
saying, ‘We feed you for the sake of God alone: We seek neither recompense nor thanks from you
Translation 1260
We fear the Day of our Lord––a woefully grim Day.’
Translation 1260
So God will save them from the woes of that Day, give them radiance and gladness
Translation 1260
and reward them, for their steadfastness, with a Garden and silken robes
Translation 1260
They will sit on couches, feeling neither scorching heat nor biting cold
Translation 1260
with shady [branches] spread above them and clusters of fruit hanging close at hand
Translation 1260
They will be served with silver plates
Translation 1260
and gleaming silver goblets according to their fancy
Translation 1260
and they will be given a drink infused with ginger
Translation 1260
from a spring called Salsabil
Translation 1260
