I swear an oath by the Day of Resurrection.
And I swear an oath by the reproachful soul.
Assumes the human being that We will never gather his bones?
Yea! We are ones who have power to shape his fingers again.
Nay! The human being wants to act immorally in front of him.
He asks: When is this Day of Resurrection?
But when their sight will be astonished
and the moon will cause the earth to be swallowed
and the sun and the moon will be gathered,
the human being will say on that Day: Where is a place to run away to?
No indeed! There is no refuge.
With thy Lord on this Day will be thy recourse.
The human being will be told on that Day what he put forward and what he postponed.
Nay! The human being is clear evidence against himself.
And although he would cast his excuses,
impel not thy tongue to hasten it.
Truly, on Us is his amassing and its Recitation.
But when We recited it, follow thou its Recitation.
From Us after that is its clear explanation.
No indeed! Nay! You love that which hastens away
and forsake the world to come.
Faces on that Day will be ones that beam,
ones that look towards their Lord.
And faces on that day will be ones that scowl.
Thou will think that against them is wreaked a crushing calamity.
No indeed! When it reached the collar bones at death
and it was said: Where is one who is a wizard to save me?
And he thought it to be his parting
and one leg was intertwined with the other leg,
that Day he will be driving toward thy Lord
for he established not the true nor invoked blessings
and he denied and turned away.
He went to his people again, going arrogantly.
Closer to thee! And closer to thee!
Again closer to thee! And closer to thee!
Assumes the human being that he will be left aimless?
Was he not a sperm-drop to be emitted in seminal fluid?
Again, he had been a clot and He created him and shaped him.
Then, He made of him two pairs, the male and the female.
Is not that One Who Has Power over that able to give life to the dead?
