Surah Al-Qiyamah
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
لَآ اُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِۙ١
Lā uqsimu biyaumil-qiyāmah(ti).
[1]
I swear by the Day of Resurrection
وَلَآ اُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ٢
Wa lā uqsimu bin nafsil-lawwāmah(ti).
[2]
And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].
اَيَحْسَبُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَلَّنْ نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهٗ ۗ٣
Ayaḥsabul-insānu allan najma‘a ‘iẓāmah(ū).
[3]
Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?
بَلٰى قٰدِرِيْنَ عَلٰٓى اَنْ نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهٗ٤
Balā qādirīna ‘alā an nusawwiya banānah(ū).
[4]
Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.
بَلْ يُرِيْدُ الْاِنْسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ اَمَامَهٗۚ٥
Bal yurīdul-insānu liyafjura amāmah(ū).
[5]
But man desires to continue in sin.
يَسْـَٔلُ اَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيٰمَةِۗ٦
Yas'alu ayyāna yaumul-qiyāmah(ti).
[6]
He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
فَاِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُۙ٧
Fa iżā bariqal-baṣar(u).
[7]
So when vision is dazzled
وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُۙ٨
Wa khasafal-qamar(u).
[8]
And the moon darkens
وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُۙ٩
Wa jumi‘asy-syamsu wal-qamar(u).
[9]
And the sun and the moon are joined,
يَقُوْلُ الْاِنْسَانُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ اَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّۚ١٠
Yaqūlul-insānu yauma'iżin ainal-mafarr(u).
[10]
Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَۗ١١
Kallā lā wazar(a).
[11]
No! There is no refuge.
اِلٰى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَىِٕذِ ِۨالْمُسْتَقَرُّۗ١٢
Ilā rabbika yauma'iżinil-mustaqarr(u).
[12]
To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.
يُنَبَّؤُا الْاِنْسَانُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَاَخَّرَۗ١٣
Yunabba'ul-insānu yauma'iżim bimā qaddama wa akhkhar(a).
[13]
Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.
بَلِ الْاِنْسَانُ عَلٰى نَفْسِهٖ بَصِيْرَةٌۙ١٤
Balil-insānu ‘alā nafsihī baṣīrah(tun).
[14]
Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,
وَّلَوْ اَلْقٰى مَعَاذِيْرَهٗۗ١٥
Wa lau alqā ma‘āżīrah(ū).
[15]
Even if he presents his excuses.
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهٖ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهٖۗ١٦
Lā tuḥarrik bihī lisānaka lita‘jala bih(ī).
[16]
Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an.
اِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهٗ وَقُرْاٰنَهٗ ۚ١٧
Inna ‘alainā jam‘ahū wa qur'ānah(ū).
[17]
Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.
فَاِذَا قَرَأْنٰهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْاٰنَهٗ ۚ١٨
Fa iżā qara'nāhu fattabi‘ qur'ānah(ū).
[18]
So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.
ثُمَّ اِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهٗ ۗ١٩
Ṡumma inna ‘alainā bayānah(ū).
[19]
Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّوْنَ الْعَاجِلَةَۙ٢٠
Kallā bal tuḥibbūnal-‘ājilah(ta).
[20]
No! But you love the immediate
وَتَذَرُوْنَ الْاٰخِرَةَۗ٢١
Wa tażarūnal-‘ākhirah(ta).
[21]
And leave the Hereafter.
وُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌۙ٢٢
Wujūhuy yauma'iżin nāḍirah(tun).
[22]
[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,
اِلٰى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ ۚ٢٣
Ilā rabbihā nāẓirah(tun).
[23]
Looking at their Lord.
وَوُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍۢ بَاسِرَةٌۙ٢٤
Wa wujūhuy yauma'iżim bāsirah(tun).
[24]
And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,
تَظُنُّ اَنْ يُّفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ ۗ٢٥
Taẓunnu ay yuf‘ala bihā fāqirah(tun).
[25]
Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.
كَلَّآ اِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَۙ٢٦
Kallā iżā balagatit-tarāqiy(a).
[26]
No! When the soul has reached the collar bones
وَقِيْلَ مَنْ ۜرَاقٍۙ٢٧
Wa qīla man…rāq(in).
[27]
And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"
وَّظَنَّ اَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُۙ٢٨
Wa ẓanna annahul-firāq(u).
[28]
And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation
وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِۙ٢٩
Waltaffatis-sāqu bis-sāq(i).
[29]
And the leg is wound about the leg,
اِلٰى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَىِٕذِ ِۨالْمَسَاقُ ۗ ࣖ٣٠
Ilā rabbika yauma'iżinil-masāq(u).
[30]
To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلّٰىۙ٣١
Falā ṣaddaqa wa lā ṣallā.
[31]
And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed.
وَلٰكِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰىۙ٣٢
Wa lākin każżaba wa tawallā.
[32]
But [instead], he denied and turned away.
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ اِلٰٓى اَهْلِهٖ يَتَمَطّٰىۗ٣٣
Ṡumma żahaba ilā ahlihī yatamaṭṭā.
[33]
And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].
اَوْلٰى لَكَ فَاَوْلٰىۙ٣٤
Aulā laka fa'aulā.
[34]
Woe to you, and woe!
ثُمَّ اَوْلٰى لَكَ فَاَوْلٰىۗ٣٥
Ṡumma aulā laka fa'aulā.
[35]
Then woe to you, and woe!
اَيَحْسَبُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَنْ يُّتْرَكَ سُدًىۗ٣٦
Ayaḥsabul-insānu ay yutraka sudā(n).
[36]
Does man think that he will be left neglected?
اَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّنْ مَّنِيٍّ يُّمْنٰى٣٧
Alam yaku nuṭfatam mim maniyyiy yumnā.
[37]
Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوّٰىۙ٣٨
Ṡumma kāna ‘alaqatan fa khalaqa fa sawwā.
[38]
Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْاُنْثٰىۗ٣٩
Fa ja‘ala minhuz-zaujainiż-żakara wal-unṡā.
[39]
And made of him two mates, the male and the female.
اَلَيْسَ ذٰلِكَ بِقٰدِرٍ عَلٰٓى اَنْ يُّحْيِ َۧ الْمَوْتٰى ࣖ٤٠
Alaisa żālika biqādirin ‘alā ay yuḥyiyal-mautā.
[40]
Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
