Chap 75: THE RISING OF THE DEAD, RESURRECTION (75:0)

I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; (75:1)

And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil) (75:2)

Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones? (75:3)

Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers (75:4)

But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him (75:5)

He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?" (75:6)

At length, when the sight is dazed, (75:7)

And the moon is buried in darkness (75:8)

And the sun and moon are joined together,- (75:9)

That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?" (75:10)

By no means! No place of safety! (75:11)

Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest (75:12)

That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back (75:13)

Nay, man will be evidence against himself, (75:14)

Even though he were to put up his excuses (75:15)

Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith (75:16)

It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it: (75:17)

But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated): (75:18)

Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear): (75:19)

Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life, (75:20)

And leave alone the Hereafter (75:21)

Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);- (75:22)

Looking towards their Lord; (75:23)

And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal, (75:24)

In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them; (75:25)

Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit), (75:26)

And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?" (75:27)

And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting; (75:28)

And one leg will be joined with another: (75:29)

That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord! (75:30)

So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!- (75:31)

But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away! (75:32)

Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit! (75:33)

Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe! (75:34)

Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe! (75:35)

Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)? (75:36)

Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)? (75:37)

Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (God) make and fashion (him) in due proportion (75:38)

And of him He made two sexes, male and female (75:39)

Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead? (75:40)
