IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah al-Qiyamah - The Rising of the Dead, Resurrection as rendered by
T.B.Irving
75:1
I do swear by Resurrection Day,
75:2
as I swear by the rebuking soul,
75:3
does man reckon We shall never gather his bones together [again]?
75:4
Of course We are Capable of reshaping even his fingertips.
75:5
Yet man wants to carouse right out in the open.
75:6
He asks: "When will Resurrection Day be ?"
75:7
When one´s sight is dazzled,
75:8
and the moon is eclipsed,
75:9
as the sun and moon are brought together,
75:10
on that day (every)man will say: Where is there any escape?
75:11
Of course there will be no sanctuary;
75:12
recourse will be only with your Lord on that day.
75:13
Man will be notified that day about anything he has sent on ahead or else held back.
75:14
Indeed man holds evidence even against himself
75:15
although he may proffer his excuses.
75:16
Do not try to hurry it up with your tongue;
75:17
it is up to Us to collect it, as well as [to know how] to recite it.
75:18
So whenever We do read it, follow in its reading;
75:19
it is then We Who must explain it!
75:20
Indeed how you (all) love the fleeting present
75:21
while you neglect the Hereafter!
75:22
Some faces will be radiant on that day,
75:23
looking toward their Lord;
75:24
while other faces will be scowling on that day,
75:25
thinking that some impoverishing blow will be dealt them.
75:26
Indeed when it reaches as high as one´s collarbone
75:27
and someone says: "Who is such a wizard?",
75:28
he will suppose that it means leave-taking
75:29
while one shin will twist around the other shin [to keep it from moving];
75:30
towards your Lord will the Drive be on that day!
75:31
He was not trusting and did not pray,
75:32
but said: "No!" and turned away.
75:33
Then he stalked off haughtily to his family,
75:34
[though] closer to you and even closer!
75:35
Then closer to you [lies your doom] and still closer!
75:36
Does man reckon he´ll be left forlorn?
75:37
Was he not once a drop of ejected semen?
75:38
Then he became a clot, so [God] created and fashioned [him]
75:39
and made him into two sexes, male and female.
75:40
Is such a Being not Able to revive the dead?
