أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَلَّنْ نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ i

75:3

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones? ⁽³⁾

بَلَىٰ قَادِرِينَ عَلَىٰ أَنْ نُسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ i

Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips. ⁽⁴⁾

بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنْسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ i

And the moon darkens ⁽⁸⁾

وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ i

And the sun and the moon are joined, ⁽⁹⁾

يَقُولُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ i

75:10

Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?" ⁽¹⁰⁾

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ i

75:11

No! There is no refuge. ⁽¹¹⁾

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ i

75:12

To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence. ⁽¹²⁾

يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ i

75:14

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness, ⁽¹⁴⁾

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُ i

75:15

Even if he presents his excuses. ⁽¹⁵⁾

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ i

75:16

Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an. ⁽¹⁶⁾

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ i

75:17

Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation. ⁽¹⁷⁾

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ i

75:18

So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation. ⁽¹⁸⁾

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ i

75:19

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you]. ⁽¹⁹⁾

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ i

75:20

No! But you love the immediate ⁽²⁰⁾

وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ i

75:21

And leave the Hereafter. ⁽²¹⁾

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ i

75:22

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant, ⁽²²⁾

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ i

And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted, ⁽²⁴⁾

تَظُنُّ أَنْ يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ i

75:25

Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking. ⁽²⁵⁾

كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَ i

75:26

No! When the soul has reached the collar bones ⁽²⁶⁾

وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍ i

75:27

And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?" ⁽²⁷⁾

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ i

75:28

And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation ⁽²⁸⁾

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ i

75:30

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession. ⁽³⁰⁾

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ i

75:31

And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed. ⁽³¹⁾

وَلَٰكِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ i

75:32

But [instead], he denied and turned away. ⁽³²⁾

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّىٰ i

75:33

And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride]. ⁽³³⁾

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ i

75:34

Woe to you, and woe! ⁽³⁴⁾

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ i

75:35

Then woe to you, and woe! ⁽³⁵⁾

أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَنْ يُتْرَكَ سُدًى i

75:36

Does man think that he will be left neglected? ⁽³⁶⁾

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِنْ مَنِيٍّ يُمْنَىٰ i

75:37

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted? ⁽³⁷⁾

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ i

75:38

Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him] ⁽³⁸⁾

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ i

75:39

And made of him two mates, the male and the female. ⁽³⁹⁾

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَىٰ i

75:40

Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead? ⁽⁴⁰⁾
