Chapter 75 (Sura 75)
1; I CALL TO WITNESS the Day of Resurrection,
2; And I call the reprehensive soul to witness:
3; Does man think We shall not put his bones together?
4; Surely We are able to reform even his finger-tips.
5; Yet man is sceptical of what is right before him.
6; He asks: “When will the Day of Resurrection be?”
7; Yet when the eyes are dazzled,
8; The moon eclipsed,
9; And the sun and moon are conjoined,
10; That day man will say: “Where can I find escape?”
11; Never so, for there will be no escape.
12; With your Lord alone will be the retreat on that day.
13; Then man will be told what he had sent ahead (of good) and what he had left behind.
14; In fact man is a witness against himself,
15; Whatever the excuses he may offer.
16; Do not forestall (the revelation before its completion) by acting in haste.
17; Surely its collection and recitation are Our responsibility.
18; So, as We recite it, follow its reading.
19; The exposition of its meaning surely rests on Us.
20; But no. You love this transient life,
21; And neglect the Hereafter.
22; How many faces will be refulgent on that Day,
23; Waiting for their Lord.
24; And how many faces on that Day will be woe-begone
25; Fearing that a great disaster is going to befall them.
26; Never so, for when life withdraws into the clavicula,
27; And it is asked: “Is there any reciter of charms and amulets?”
28; He will then realise it is the parting,
29; And anguish will be heaped upon anguish:
30; To your Lord then will be the driving.
31; For he neither believed nor prayed,
32; But only disavowed and turned away;
33; Then he strutted back to his people.
34; Alas the woe for you, alas!
35; Alas, the woe for you!
36; Does man think that he will be left alone to himself, free?
37; Was he not an emitted drop of semen,
38; Then formed into an embryo? Then He fashioned, shaped and proportioned
39; And assigned it sexes, male and female.
40; Cannot such as He bring the dead to life?
