Resurrection

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ

And the moon darkens.

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ

To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ

Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ

And he [i.e., the dying one] is certain that it is the [time of] separation

وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ

And the leg is wound about the leg,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ

Woe to you, and woe!

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى

Does man think that he will be left neglected?

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allāh] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

And made of him two mates, the male and the female.

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْـِۧىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ

Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتْ

And when the heaven is opened

أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍ مَّهِينٍ

Did We not create you from a liquid disdained?

أَحْيَآءً وَأَمْوَٰتًا

Of the living and the dead?

هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ۖ جَمَعْنَـٰكُمْ وَٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

About what are they asking one another?

وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا

And gardens of entwined growth.

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا

The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـٰهُ كِتَـٰبًا

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَـٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا

Indeed, We have warned you of an impending punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"

وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرْقًا

By those [angels] who extract with violence

وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشْطًا

And [by] those who remove with ease

وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًا

And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming

فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًا

And those who race each other in a race

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ

On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ

There will follow it the subsequent [one].

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ

They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا نَّخِرَةً

Even if we should be decayed bones?"

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ

They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ

And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا

Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? He [i.e., Allāh] constructed it.

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ

Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ

On the Day a man will flee from his brother

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ

Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ

And when the mountains are removed

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ

And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ

And when the souls are paired

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ

And when the pages are spread [i.e., made public]

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ

And when the sky is stripped away

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ

And when Paradise is brought near,

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ

And when the seas are erupted

وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ

And when the [contents of] graves are scattered [i.e., exposed],
