Quran Chapter 75: Surah Al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection) English Translation

(75:1) Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection; (75:2) and nay, I swear by the self-reproaching soul! (75:3) Does man imagine that We will not be able to bring his bones together again? (75:4) Yes indeed; We have the power to remould even his finger-tips. (75:5) But man desires to persist in his evil ways. (75:6) He asks: “When will the Day of Resurrection be?” (75:7) When the sight is dazed, (75:8) and the moon is eclipsed, (75:9) and the sun and the moon are joined together, (75:10) on that Day will man say: “Whither the refuge?” (75:11) No, there is no refuge. (75:12) With your Lord alone will be the retreat that Day. (75:13) On that Day will man be apprised of his deeds, both the earlier and the later. (75:14) But lo, man is well aware of himself, (75:15) even though he might make up excuses. (75:16) (O Prophet), do not stir your tongue hastily (to commit the Revelation to memory). (75:17) Surely it is for Us to have you commit it to memory and to recite it. (75:18) And so when We recite it, follow its recitation attentively; (75:19) then it will be for Us to explain it. (75:20) Nay; the truth is that you love ardently (the good of this world) that can be obtained hastily, (75:21) and are oblivious of the Hereafter. (75:22) Some faces on that Day will be fresh and resplendent, (75:23) and will be looking towards their Lord; (75:24) and some faces on that Day will be gloomy, (75:25) believing that a crushing calamity is about to strike them. (75:26) Nay; when a man's soul reaches up to the throat, (75:27) and it is said: “Is there any enchanter who can step forward and help (by his chanting)?” (75:28) and he realises that the hour of parting is come, (75:29) and calf is inter-twined with calf. (75:30) On that Day you will be driven to your Lord. (75:31) But he did not verify the Truth, nor did he observe Prayer; (75:32) on the contrary, he gave the lie to the Truth and turned his back upon it, (75:33) then he went back to his kinsfolk, elated with pride. (75:34) This (attitude) is worthy of you, altogether worthy; (75:35) again, it is worthy of you, altogether worthy. (75:36) Does man think that he will be left alone, unquestioned? (75:37) Was he not a drop of ejaculated semen, (75:38) then he became a clot, and then Allah made it into a living body and proportioned its parts, (75:39) and then He made of him a pair, male and female? (75:40) Does He, then, not have the power to bring back the dead to life?
