AL QIYAMAH (THE RESURRECTION)

Section 1

Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

[Qiyamah 75:1] I swear by the Day of Resurrection.

[Qiyamah 75:2] And by oath of the soul that reproaches itself.

[Qiyamah 75:3] Does man assume that We will never assemble his bones?

[Qiyamah 75:4] Surely yes, why not? We can properly make all his phalanxes.

[Qiyamah 75:5] In fact man wishes to commit evil in front of Him!

[Qiyamah 75:6] He asks, “When will be the Day of Resurrection?”

[Qiyamah 75:7] So when the eyes will be blinded by light.

[Qiyamah 75:8] And the moon will be eclipsed.

[Qiyamah 75:9] And the sun and the moon will be united.

[Qiyamah 75:10] On that day man will cry out, “Where shall I flee?”

[Qiyamah 75:11] Never! There is no refuge!

[Qiyamah 75:12] On that day, the destination is only towards your Lord.

[Qiyamah 75:13] On that day, man will be informed of all what he sent ahead and left behind.

[Qiyamah 75:14] In fact, man himself is keeping an eye on his state of affairs!

[Qiyamah 75:15] And even if he presents all the excuses he has, none will be listened to.

[Qiyamah 75:16] O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), do not cause your tongue to move along with the Qur’an in order to learn it faster.

[Qiyamah 75:17] Indeed assembling the Qur’an and reading it are upon Us.

[Qiyamah 75:18] So when We have read it, you should thereupon follow what is read.

[Qiyamah 75:19] Then indeed, to explain its details to you is upon Us.
