Surah Al-Qiyaama

وَتَذَرُونَٱلْءَاخِرَةَ

and give no thought to the life to come [and to Judgment Day]!

وُجُوهٌۭيَوْمَئِذٍۢنَّاضِرَةٌ

Some faces will on that Day be bright with happiness,

إِلَىٰرَبِّهَانَاظِرَةٌۭ

looking up to their Sustainer;

وَوُجُوهٌۭيَوْمَئِذٍۭبَاسِرَةٌۭ

and some faces will on that Day be overcast with despair,

تَظُنُّأَنيُفْعَلَبِهَافَاقِرَةٌۭ

knowing that a crushing calamity is about to befall them.

كَلَّآإِذَابَلَغَتِٱلتَّرَاقِىَ

NAY, but when [the last breath] comes up to the throat [of a dying man],

وَقِيلَمَنْرَاقٍۢ

and people ask, "Is there any wizard [that could save him]?"

وَظَنَّأَنَّهُٱلْفِرَاقُ

the while he [himself] knows that this is the parting,

وَٱلْتَفَّتِٱلسَّاقُبِٱلسَّاقِ

and is enwrapped in the pangs of death

إِلَىٰرَبِّكَيَوْمَئِذٍٱلْمَسَاقُ

at that time towards thy Sustainer does he feel impelled to turn!

فَلَاصَدَّقَوَلَاصَلَّىٰ

[Useless, though, will be his repentance: for [as long as he was alive] he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray [for enlightenment],

وَلَٰكِنكَذَّبَوَتَوَلَّىٰ

but, on the contrary, he gave the lie to the truth and turned away [from it],

ثُمَّذَهَبَإِلَىٰٓأَهْلِهِۦيَتَمَطَّىٰٓ

and then went arrogantly back to what he had come from.

أَوْلَىٰلَكَفَأَوْلَىٰ

[And yet, O man, thine end comes hourly] nearer unto thee, and nearer –

ثُمَّأَوْلَىٰلَكَفَأَوْلَىٰٓ

and ever nearer unto thee, and nearer!

أَيَحْسَبُٱلْإِنسَٰنُأَنيُتْرَكَسُدًى

DOES MAN, then, think that he is to be left to himself to go about at will?

أَلَمْيَكُنُطْفَةًۭمِّنمَّنِىٍّۢيُمْنَىٰ

Was he not once a [mere] drop of sperm that had been spilt,

ثُمَّكَانَعَلَقَةًۭفَخَلَقَفَسَوَّىٰ

and thereafter became a germ-cell - whereupon He created and formed [it] in accordance with what [it] was meant to be,

فَجَعَلَمِنْهُٱلزَّوْجَيْنِٱلذَّكَرَوَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

and fashioned out of it the two sexes, the male and the female?

أَلَيْسَذَٰلِكَبِقَٰدِرٍعَلَىٰٓأَنيُحْۦِىَٱلْمَوْتَىٰ

Is not He, then; able to bring the dead back to life?
