| | Amatul Rahman Omar rendition of Surah The Rising of the Dead, Resurrection(al-Qiyamah)
--- |
|---|
| 75:1 | | Nay, (it is not like what you imagine,) I swear by the Day of Resurrection |
| 75:2 | | And I swear by the self-reproaching soul (at the doing of an evil deed as an evidence to the truth of Final Resurrection) |
| 75:3 | | Does a human-being think that We will not assemble his bones? (We will indeed. |
| 75:4 | | No doubt, We have the power to reproduce him to a complete form even to the very tips of his fingers |
| 75:5 | | (His denial of Resurrection is because) a human being likes to continue in his evil ways in (the life) that is before him (without fearing the consequences of his deeds) |
| 75:6 | | He asks (with contempt and doubt), `When shall the Day of Resurrection come to be? |
| 75:7 | | (It shall be the day) when the sight (of a person) is confused (and he is confounded for being unable to find the right course) |
| 75:8 | | And the moon will eclipse |
| 75:9 | | And the sun and the moon will be brought together |
| 75:10 | | The human being shall say on that day, `Whither to flee? |
| 75:11 | | To nowhere at all, there is no refuge |
| 75:12 | | Upon that day the recourse shall be to your Lord |
| 75:13 | | Upon that day every soul shall be informed about all his commissions and omissions |
| 75:14 | | Rather a human being is himself well-aware of his own self (and so himself is a witness against his own soul) |
| 75:15 | | (No excuse will be accepted from him) even though he puts forth his (all possible) excuses, (to prove his innocence) |
| 75:16 | | (Prophet! when We reveal the Qur'an) do not move your tongue (with a mind) to repeat (this revelation in order to commit it to your memory) hurriedly |
| 75:17 | | The responsibility of its collection and its arrangement lies on Us |
| 75:18 | | When We recite it, then follow its recitation |
| 75:19 | | The responsibility of explaining it lies again on Us |
| 75:20 | | Behold! you people love the present transient (life) |
| 75:21 | | And neglect the Hereafter |
| 75:22 | | On that day some faces will be fresh, beaming and bright |
| 75:23 | | Looking (absorbed in the vision of) their Lord |
| 75:24 | | And also on that day some faces will look gloomy and dismal |
| 75:25 | | Because they will realise that a back breaking calamity is about to befall them |
| 75:26 | | Behold! when it (- the soul of a dying person) reaches the throat (to leave his body in death |
| 75:27 | | And (when those around the dying person say), `Who is the physician to cure and save him? |
| 75:28 | | And he himself realizes that it is the (time of) parting |
| 75:29 | | And one shank rubs against the other (in death agony) and one distress will be combined with another distress (for the departing soul) |
| 75:30 | | On that day people will be driven towards your Lord (to reap the fruit of the deeds done in this life) |
| 75:31 | | For this person (being unmindful of the consequences) neither accepted the truth nor offered Prayer |
| 75:32 | | Rather he cried lies (to the truth and the Prophet) and turned away (refusing to obey His commandments) |
| 75:33 | | Then he went to his kinsfolk strutting along (in false pride) |
| 75:34 | | Woe be to you! then woe upon woe (in this very life) |
| 75:35 | | Again (in the Hereafter) woe be to you, then woe upon woe |
| 75:36 | | Does a person think that he will be left alone without purpose |
| 75:37 | | Was he not a small drop of semen ejected (into a proper place) |
| 75:38 | | (Which drop) then became a clot of blood, then He fashioned (him through various stages) and perfected (him in his make) |
| 75:39 | | Then He made of him a pair, the male and the female |
| 75:40 | | Has not such a One (Who creates from an inanimate source) the power of raising the (physically and spiritually) dead to life |
