| | Maududi rendition of Surah The Rising of the Dead, Resurrection(al-Qiyamah)
--- |
|---|
| 75:1 | | Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection |
| 75:2 | | and nay, I swear by the self-reproaching soul |
| 75:3 | | Does man imagine that We will not be able to bring his bones together again |
| 75:4 | | Yes indeed; We have the power to remould even his finger-tips |
| 75:5 | | But man desires to persist in his evil ways |
| 75:6 | | He asks: "When will the Day of Resurrection be?" |
| 75:7 | | When the sight is dazed |
| 75:8 | | and the moon is eclipsed |
| 75:9 | | and the sun and the moon are joined together |
| 75:10 | | on that Day will man say: "Whither the refuge?" |
| 75:11 | | No, there is no refuge |
| 75:12 | | With your Lord alone will be the retreat that Day |
| 75:13 | | On that Day will man be apprised of his deeds, both the earlier and the later |
| 75:14 | | But lo, man is well aware of himself |
| 75:15 | | even though he might make up excuses |
| 75:16 | | (O Prophet), do not stir your tongue hastily (to commit the Revelation to memory) |
| 75:17 | | Surely it is for Us to have you commit it to memory and to recite it |
| 75:18 | | And so when We recite it, follow its recitation attentively |
| 75:19 | | then it will be for Us to explain it |
| 75:20 | | Nay; the truth is that you love ardently (the good of this world) that can be obtained hastily |
| 75:21 | | and are oblivious of the Hereafter |
| 75:22 | | Some faces on that Day will be fresh and resplendent |
| 75:23 | | and will be looking towards their Lord |
| 75:24 | | and some faces on that Day will be gloomy |
| 75:25 | | believing that a crushing calamity is about to strike them |
| 75:26 | | Nay; when a man´s soul reaches up to the throat |
| 75:27 | | and it is said: "Is there any enchanter who can step forward and help (by his chanting)?" |
| 75:28 | | and he realises that the hour of parting is come |
| 75:29 | | and calf is inter-twined with calf |
| 75:30 | | On that Day you will be driven to your Lord |
| 75:31 | | But he did not verify the Truth, nor did he observe Prayer |
| 75:32 | | on the contrary, he gave the lie to the Truth and turned his back upon it |
| 75:33 | | then he went back to his kinsfolk, elated with pride |
| 75:34 | | This (attitude) is worthy of you, altogether worthy |
| 75:35 | | again, it is worthy of you, altogether worthy |
| 75:36 | | Does man think that he will be left alone, unquestioned |
| 75:37 | | Was he not a drop of ejaculated semen |
| 75:38 | | then he became a clot, and then Allah made it into a living body and proportioned its parts |
| 75:39 | | and then He made of him a pair, male and female |
| 75:40 | | Does He, then, not have the power to bring back the dead to life |
