075.002
Nay, I swear by the accusing soul (that this Scripture is true).
075.003
Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones ?
075.004
Yea, verily. We are Able to restore his very fingers!
075.005
But man would fain deny what is before him.
075.006
He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection ?
075.007
But when sight is confounded
075.008
And the moon is eclipsed
075.009
And sun and moon are united,
075.010
On that day man will cry: Whither to flee!
075.011
Alas! No refuge!
075.012
Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day.
075.013
On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind.
075.014
Oh, but man is a telling witness against himself,
075.015
Although he tender his excuses.
075.016
Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it.
075.017
Lo! upon Us (resteth) the putting together thereof and the reading thereof.
075.018
And when We read it, follow thou the reading;
075.019
Then lo! upon Us (resteth) the explanation thereof.
075.020
Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now
075.021
And neglect the Hereafter.
075.022
That day will faces be resplendent,
075.023
Looking toward their Lord;
075.024
And that day will other faces be despondent,
075.025
Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on them.
075.026
Nay, but when the life cometh up to the throat
075.027
And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now) ?
075.028
And he knoweth that it is the parting;
075.029
And agony is heaped on agony;
075.030
Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving.
075.031
For he neither trusted, nor prayed.
075.032
But he denied and flouted.
075.033
Then went he to his folk with glee.
075.034
Nearer unto thee and nearer,
075.035
Again nearer unto thee and nearer (is the doom).
075.036
Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless ?
075.037
Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth ?
075.038
Then he became a clot; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned
075.039
And made of him a pair, the male and female.
075.040
Is not He (Who doeth so) Able to bring the dead to life ?
