Al-Qiyamah
لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ
I do swear by the Day of Judgment!
وَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ
And I do swear by the self-reproaching soul!
أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ
Do people think We cannot reassemble their bones?
بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُۥ
Yes ˹indeed˺! We are ˹most˺ capable of restoring ˹even˺ their very fingertips.1
بَلۡ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفۡجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ
Still people want to deny what is yet to come,
يَسۡـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ
asking ˹mockingly˺, “When is this Day of Judgment?”
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ
But when the sight is stunned,
وَخَسَفَ ٱلۡقَمَرُ
and the moon is dimmed,
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ
and the sun and the moon are brought together,1
