Text:Sura al-Qiyama
 | This is the text of al-Qiyama. For the related article see Sura al-Qiyama. |
| In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. | بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ |
| I swear by the Day of Resurrection! (1) | لا أُقسِمُ بِيَومِ القِيامَةِ(١) |
| And I swear by the self-blaming soul! (2) | وَلا أُقسِمُ بِالنَّفسِ اللَّوّامَةِ(٢) |
| Does man suppose that We shall not put together his bones? (3) | أَيَحسَبُ الإِنسانُ أَلَّن نَجمَعَ عِظامَهُ(٣) |
| Yes indeed, We are able to proportion [even] his fingertips! (4) | بَلىٰ قادِرينَ عَلىٰ أَن نُسَوِّيَ بَنانَهُ(٤) |
| Rather man desires to go on living viciously. (5) | بَل يُريدُ الإِنسانُ لِيَفجُرَ أَمامَهُ(٥) |
| He asks, ‘When is this day of resurrection?!’ (6) | يَسأَلُ أَيّانَ يَومُ القِيامَةِ(٦) |
| But when the eyes are dazzled, (7) | فَإِذا بَرِقَ البَصَرُ(٧) |
| and the moon is eclipsed, (8) | وَخَسَفَ القَمَرُ(٨) |
| and the sun and the moon are brought together, (9) | وَجُمِعَ الشَّمسُ وَالقَمَرُ(٩) |
| that day man will say,
‘Where is the escape?’ (10) |
يَقولُ الإِنسانُ يَومَئِذٍ أَينَ المَفَرُّ(١٠) |
| No indeed! There is no refuge! (11) | كَلّا لا وَزَرَ(١١) |
| That day the abode will be toward your Lord. (12) | إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ يَومَئِذٍ المُستَقَرُّ(١٢) |
| That day man will be informed about what he has sent ahead and left behind. (13) | يُنَبَّأُ الإِنسانُ يَومَئِذٍ بِما قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ(١٣) |
| Rather man is a witness to himself, (14) | بَلِ الإِنسانُ عَلىٰ نَفسِهِ بَصيرَةٌ(١٤) |
| though he should offer his excuses. (15) | وَلَو أَلقىٰ مَعاذيرَهُ(١٥) |
| Do not move your tongue with it to hasten it. (16) | لا تُحَرِّك بِهِ لِسانَكَ لِتَعجَلَ بِهِ(١٦) |
| Indeed it is up to Us to put it together and to recite it. (17) | إِنَّ عَلَينا جَمعَهُ وَقُرآنَهُ(١٧) |
| And when We have recited it, follow its recitation. (18) | فَإِذا قَرَأناهُ فَاتَّبِع قُرآنَهُ(١٨) |
| Then, its exposition indeed [also] lies with Us. (19) | ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَينا بَيانَهُ(١٩) |
| No Indeed! Rather you love this transitory life (20) | كَلّا بَل تُحِبّونَ العاجِلَةَ(٢٠) |
| and forsake the Hereafter. (21) | وَتَذَرونَ الآخِرَةَ(٢١) |
| Some faces will be fresh on that day, (22) | وُجوهٌ يَومَئِذٍ ناضِرَةٌ(٢٢) |
| looking at their Lord, (23) | إِلىٰ رَبِّها ناظِرَةٌ(٢٣) |
| and some faces will be scowling on that day, (24) | وَوُجوهٌ يَومَئِذٍ باسِرَةٌ(٢٤) |
| knowing that they will be dealt out a punishment breaking the spine. (25) | تَظُنُّ أَن يُفعَلَ بِها فاقِرَةٌ(٢٥) |
| No indeed! When the soul reaches up to the collar bones, (26) | كَلّا إِذا بَلَغَتِ التَّراقِيَ(٢٦) |
| and it is said, ‘Who will take him up?’[1] (27) | وَقيلَ مَن ۜ راقٍ(٢٧) |
| and he knows that it is the [time of] parting, (28) | وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الفِراقُ(٢٨) |
| and each shank clasps the other shank,[2] (29) | وَالتَفَّتِ السّاقُ بِالسّاقِ(٢٩) |
| that day he shall be driven toward your Lord. (30) | إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ يَومَئِذٍ المَساقُ(٣٠) |
| He neither confirmed [the truth], nor prayed, (31) | فَلا صَدَّقَ وَلا صَلّىٰ(٣١) |
| but denied [it] and turned away, (32) | وَلٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّىٰ(٣٢) |
| and went swaggering to his family. (33) | ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلىٰ أَهلِهِ يَتَمَطّىٰ(٣٣) |
| So woe to you! Woe to you! (34) | أَولىٰ لَكَ فَأَولىٰ(٣٤) |
| Again, woe to you! Woe to you! (35) | ثُمَّ أَولىٰ لَكَ فَأَولىٰ(٣٥) |
| Does man suppose that he would be abandoned to futility? (36) | أَيَحسَبُ الإِنسانُ أَن يُترَكَ سُدًى(٣٦) |
| Was he not a drop of emitted semen? (37) | أَلَم يَكُ نُطفَةً مِن مَنِيٍّ يُمنىٰ(٣٧) |
| Then he became a clinging mass; then He created [him] and proportioned [him], (38) | ثُمَّ كانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوّىٰ(٣٨) |
| and made of him the two sexes, the male and the female. (39) | فَجَعَلَ مِنهُ الزَّوجَينِ الذَّكَرَ وَالأُنثىٰ(٣٩) |
| Is not such a one able to revive the dead?'[3] (40) | أَلَيسَ ذٰلِكَ بِقادِرٍ عَلىٰ أَن يُحيِيَ المَوتىٰ(٤٠) |
