In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
- And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit; (eschew Evil).
- Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
- Nay We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.
- But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.
- He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
- At length when the Sight is dazed
- And the moon is buried in darkness.
- And the sun and moon are joined together
- That Day will Man say "Where is the refuge?"
- By no means! No place of safety!
- Before thy Lord (alone) that Day will be the place of rest.
- That Day will man be told (all) that he put forward and all that he put back.
- Nay man will be evidence against himself
- Even though he were to put up his excuses.
- Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.
- It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
- But when We have promulgated it follow thou its recital (as promulgated):
- Nay more it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
- Nay (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life
- And leave alone the Hereafter.
- Some faces that Day will beam (in brightness and beauty)
- Looking towards their Lord;
- And some faces that Day will be sad and dismal
- In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
