| | George Sale rendition of Surah The Rising of the Dead, Resurrection(al-Qiyamah)
--- |
|---|
| 75:1 | | Verily I swear by the day of resurrection |
| 75:2 | | and I swear by the soul which accuseth itself |
| 75:3 | | Doth man think that We will not gather his bones together |
| 75:4 | | Yea: We are able to put together the smallest bones of his fingers |
| 75:5 | | But man chooseth to be wicked, for the time which is before him |
| 75:6 | | He asketh, when will the day of resurrection be |
| 75:7 | | But when the sight shall be dazzled |
| 75:8 | | and the moon shall be eclipsed |
| 75:9 | | and the sun and the moon shall be in conjunction |
| 75:10 | | on that day man shall say, where is a place of refuge |
| 75:11 | | By no means: There shall be no place to fly unto |
| 75:12 | | With thy Lord shall be the sure mansion of rest on that day |
| 75:13 | | On that day shall a man be told that which he hath done first and last |
| 75:14 | | Yea; a man shall be an evidence against himself |
| 75:15 | | And though he offer his excuses, they shall not be received |
| 75:16 | | Move not thy tongue, O Mohammed, in repeating the revelations brought thee by Gabriel, before he shall have finished the same, that thou mayest quickly commit them to memory |
| 75:17 | | For the collecting the Koran in thy mind, and the teaching thee the true reading thereof are incumbent on Us |
| 75:18 | | But when We shall have read the same unto thee by the tongue of the angel, do thou follow the reading thereof |
| 75:19 | | And afterwards it shall be our part to explain it unto thee |
| 75:20 | | By no means shalt thou be thus hasty for the future. But ye love that which hasteneth away |
| 75:21 | | and neglect the life to come |
| 75:22 | | Some countenances, on that day, shall be bright |
| 75:23 | | looking towards their Lord |
| 75:24 | | and some countenances, on that day, shall be dismal |
| 75:25 | | They shall think that a crushing calamity shall be brought upon them |
| 75:26 | | Assuredly. When a man's soul shall come up to his throat, in his last agony |
| 75:27 | | and the standers-by shall say, who bringeth a charm to recover him |
| 75:28 | | And shall think it to be his departure out of this world |
| 75:29 | | and one leg shall be joined with the other leg |
| 75:30 | | On that day unto thy Lord shall he be driven |
| 75:31 | | For he believed not, neither did he pray |
| 75:32 | | but he accused God's apostle of imposture, and turned back from obeying him |
| 75:33 | | Then he departed unto his family, walking with a haughty mien |
| 75:34 | | Wherefore, woe be unto thee; woe |
| 75:35 | | And again, woe be unto thee; woe |
| 75:36 | | Doth man think that he shall be left at full liberty, without control |
| 75:37 | | Was he not a drop of seed, which was emitted |
| 75:38 | | Afterwards he became a little coagulated blood; and God formed him, and fashioned him with just proportion |
| 75:39 | | And made of him two sexes, the male and the female |
| 75:40 | | Is not he who hath done this able to quicken the dead |
