| | Mohammad Shafi rendition of Surah The Rising of the Dead, Resurrection(al-Qiyamah)

| 75:1 | | Nay, [man's negative thinking on Resurrection is not right!] I do swear by the Day of Resurrection |
| 75:2 | | And, nay! I do swear by the self-reproaching soul [that man's negative thinking on Resuuection is not right! |
| 75:3 | | Does man think that We shall not be able to collect his bones |
| 75:4 | | Yes, We have the power to restore [even] his fingertips.h |
| 75:5 | | But, man desires to go on doing evil in what lies ahead of him [in worldly life] |
| 75:6 | | He asks, "When will the Day of Resurrection be?" |
| 75:7 | | So when the sight is dazzled |
| 75:8 | | And the moon disappears |
| 75:9 | | And the sun and the moon are joined |
| 75:10 | | Man will ask that Day, "Where is the exit?" |
| 75:11 | | No! No escape |
| 75:12 | | With your Lord that day is the journey's end |
| 75:13 | | Man will be informed that Day what he had sent ahead and what he had left behind [undone].h |
| 75:14 | | Man would rather be a witness against himsel |
| 75:15 | | Even though he may put up excuses |
| 75:16 | | Move not [O Prophet] your tongue with it [revelation] to make haste with it |
| 75:17 | | Its collection and recital does indeed rest on Us |
| 75:18 | | So when We recite it, attentively follow its recitation |
| 75:19 | | Then, indeed, it is for Us to make its meaning clear |
| 75:20 | | Nay, you [mankind] would rather love the fleeting present |
| 75:21 | | And neglect the Hereafter |
| 75:22 | | Faces that day will be bright |
| 75:23 | | Looking at their Lord expectantly |
| 75:24 | | And faces that day will be despondent |
| 75:25 | | Expecting a great disaster to befall them |
| 75:26 | | Behold! When in pangs of death |
| 75:27 | | And question raised, "Any magician [who could save him]?" |
| 75:28 | | And he thought it was the time for parting |
| 75:29 | | And the leg was put close to the [other] leg |
| 75:30 | | To your Lord was the direction that day |
| 75:31 | | And neither did he stand by the truth nor did he pray |
| 75:32 | | And, on the other hand, he denied the Truth and turned his face away |
| 75:33 | | And then he went back to his people boasting [telling them how `bravely' he denied the Truth] |
| 75:34 | | [The Truth is drawing] nearer and nearer to you [O dying man] |
| 75:35 | | To repeat, [the Truth is drawing] nearer and nearer to you [O dying man]! |
| 75:36 | | Does man think that he will be left to fend for himself? |
| 75:37 | | Was he not a tiny ovum fertilised by sperm emitted |
| 75:38 | | Then he became a leech-like clinging clot of curdled blood; and He created him and set his shape right |
| 75:39 | | Then He made from him pairs: male and female |
| 75:40 | | Is not That One [the Creator] powerful enough to give life to the dead!? |
