| | A.L. Bilal Muhammad et al (2018) rendition of Surah The Rising of the Dead, Resurrection(al-Qiyamah) --- |
---|
75:1 | | I call to witness the day of resurrection |
75:2 | | And I call to witness the self-accusing soul |
75:3 | | Does the human being think that We cannot assemble his bones |
75:4 | | Indeed We are able to put together in perfect order, the very tips of their fingers |
75:5 | | But the human being wishes to do wrong in the time in front of him |
75:6 | | He questions, “When is the Day of Resurrection? |
75:7 | | Then, when the sight is dazed |
75:8 | | And the Moon is buried in darkness |
75:9 | | And the Sun and Moon are synchronized |
75:10 | | That day the human being will say, “Where is the refuge? |
75:11 | | By no means is it a place of safety |
75:12 | | Before your Lord that day will be the place of rest |
75:13 | | That day the human being will be told all that he pushed forward, and all that he keep back |
75:14 | | No, the human being will be evidence against himself |
75:15 | | Even though he were to put forth his excuses |
75:16 | | Move not your tongue to hasten it |
75:17 | | It is for Us to collect it and to recite it |
75:18 | | But when We have recited it, follow its recital |
75:19 | | And indeed it is upon Us to explain it |
75:20 | | No, but you love the fleeting life |
75:21 | | And forget the hereafter |
75:22 | | Some faces that day will beam |
75:23 | | Looking towards their Lord |
75:24 | | And some faces that day will be sad and dismal |
75:25 | | In the thought that some backbreaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them |
75:26 | | Yes, when it reaches to the collarbone |
75:27 | | And there will be a cry, “Is this an illusion? |
75:28 | | And he will conclude that it was the time of parting |
75:29 | | And one leg will be joined with another |
75:30 | | That day all will strive to your Lord |
75:31 | | So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray |
75:32 | | Instead he rejected truth and turned away |
75:33 | | Then he went to his family conceited |
75:34 | | Woe to you, yes woe |
75:35 | | Again, woe to you, yes, woe |
75:36 | | Does the human being think that he will be left uncontrollable |
75:37 | | Were they not a zygote from sperm emitted |
75:38 | | Then did they become a leech-like fetus, then God made and fashion them in due proportion |
75:39 | | And of them He made two genders, male and female |
75:40 | | Then does He not have the power to give life to the dead |
