| | Yusuf Ali (Saudi Rev. 1985) rendition of Surah The Rising of the Dead, Resurrection(al-Qiyamah)

|---|
| 75:1 | | I do call to witness the Resurrection Day |
| 75:2 | | And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil) |
| 75:3 | | Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones |
| 75:4 | | Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers |
| 75:5 | | But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him |
| 75:6 | | He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?" |
| 75:7 | | At length, when the sight is dazed |
| 75:8 | | And the moon is buried in darkness |
| 75:9 | | And the sun and moon are joined together, |
| 75:10 | | That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?" |
| 75:11 | | By no means! No place of safety |
| 75:12 | | Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest |
| 75:13 | | That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back |
| 75:14 | | Nay, man will be evidence against himself |
| 75:15 | | Even though he were to put up his excuses |
| 75:16 | | Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith |
| 75:17 | | It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it |
| 75:18 | | But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated) |
| 75:19 | | Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear) |
| 75:20 | | Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life |
| 75:21 | | And leave alone the Hereafter |
| 75:22 | | Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty); |
| 75:23 | | Looking towards their Lord |
| 75:24 | | And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal |
| 75:25 | | In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them |
| 75:26 | | Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit) |
| 75:27 | | And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?" |
| 75:28 | | And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting |
| 75:29 | | And one leg will be joined with another |
| 75:30 | | That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord |
| 75:31 | | So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray! |
| 75:32 | | But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away |
| 75:33 | | Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit |
| 75:34 | | Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe |
| 75:35 | | Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe |
| 75:36 | | Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose) |
| 75:37 | | Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form) |
| 75:38 | | Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion |
| 75:39 | | And of him He made two sexes, male and female |
| 75:40 | | Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead |
