The Meanings of the Holy Qur'an: Sura 75, "The Rising Of The Dead, Resurrection"
|
|
{1}
I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
|
{2}
And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).
|
{3}
Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
|
{4}
Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.
|
{5}
But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.
|
{6}
He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
|
{7}
At length, when the sight is dazed,
|
{8}
And the moon is buried in darkness.
|
{9}
And the sun and moon are joined together,-
|
{10}
That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"
|
{11}
By no means! No place of safety!
|
{12}
Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.
|
{13}
That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.
|
{14}
Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
|
{15}
Even though he were to put up his excuses.
|
{16}
Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.
|
{17}
It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
|
{18}
But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):
|
{19}
Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
|
{20}
Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
|
{21}
And leave alone the Hereafter.
|
{22}
Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-
|
{23}
Looking towards their Lord;
|
{24}
And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
|
{25}
In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
|
{26}
Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),
|
{27}
And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"
|
{28}
And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
|
{29}
And one leg will be joined with another:
|
{30}
That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
|
{31}
So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-
|
{32}
But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
|
{33}
Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
|
{34}
Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
|
{35}
Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
|
{36}
Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
|
{37}
Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
|
{38}
Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (God) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
|
{39}
And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
|
{40}
Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
|
