| | Rashad Khalifa rendition of Surah The Rising of the Dead, Resurrection(al-Qiyamah)

| 75:1 | | I swear by the Day of Resurrection. |
| 75:2 | | And I swear by the blaming soul. |
| 75:3 | | Does the human being think that we will not reconstruct his bones? |
| 75:4 | | Yes indeed; we are able to reconstruct his finger tip. |
| 75:5 | | But the human being tends to believe only what he sees in front of him. |
| 75:6 | | He doubts the Day of Resurrection! |
| 75:7 | | Once the vision is sharpened. |
| 75:8 | | And the moon is eclipsed. |
| 75:9 | | And the sun and the moon crash into one another. |
| 75:10 | | The human being will say on that day, "Where is the escape?" |
| 75:11 | | Absolutely, there is no escape. |
| 75:12 | | To your Lord, on that day, is the final destiny. |
| 75:13 | | The human being will be informed, on that day, of everything he did to advance himself, and everything he did to regress himself. |
| 75:14 | | The human being will be his own judge. |
| 75:15 | | No excuses will be accepted. |
| 75:16 | | Do not move your tongue to hasten it. |
| 75:17 | | It is we who will collect it into Quran. |
| 75:18 | | Once we recite it, you shall follow such a Quran. |
| 75:19 | | Then it is we who will explain it. |
| 75:20 | | Indeed, you love this fleeting life. |
| 75:21 | | While disregarding the Hereafter. |
| 75:22 | | Some faces, on that day, will be happ |
| 75:23 | | Looking at their Lord. |
| 75:24 | | Other faces will be, on that day, miserable. |
| 75:25 | | Expecting the worst. |
| 75:26 | | Indeed, when (the soul) reaches the throat. |
| 75:27 | | And it is ordered: "Let go!" |
| 75:28 | | He knows it is the end. |
| 75:29 | | Each leg will lay motionless next to the other leg. |
| 75:30 | | To your Lord, on that day, is the summoning. |
| 75:31 | | For he observed neither the charity, nor the contact prayers (Salat). |
| 75:32 | | But he disbelieved and turned away. |
| 75:33 | | With his family, he acted arrogantly. |
| 75:34 | | You have deserved this. |
| 75:35 | | Indeed, you have deserved this. |
| 75:36 | | Does the human being think that he will go to nothing? |
| 75:37 | | Was he not a drop of ejected semen? |
| 75:38 | | Then He created an embryo out of it! |
| 75:39 | | He made it into male or female! |
| 75:40 | | Is He then unable to revive the dead? |
