Al-Qiyamah


I do swear by the Day of Judgment!
ﮏﮐﮑﮒ ﰁ​

And I do swear by the self-reproaching soul!
ﮔﮕﮖﮗﮘ ﰂ​

Do people think We cannot reassemble their bones?
ﮚﮛﮜﮝﮞﮟ ﰃ​

Yes ˹indeed˺! We are ˹most˺ capable of restoring ˹even˺ their very fingertips.1
ﮡﮢﮣﮤﮥ ﰄ​

Still people want to deny what is yet to come,
ﮧﮨﮩﮪ ﰅ​

asking ˹mockingly˺, “When is this Day of Judgment?”
ﮬﮭﮮ ﰆ​

But when the sight is stunned,
ﮰﮱ ﰇ​

and the moon is dimmed,
ﯔﯕﯖ ﰈ​

and the sun and the moon are brought together,1
ﯘﯙﯚﯛﯜ ﰉ​

on that Day one will cry, “Where is the escape?”
ﯞﯟﯠ ﰊ​

But no! There will be no refuge.
ﯢﯣﯤﯥ ﰋ​

On that Day all will end up before your Lord.
ﯧﯨﯩﯪﯫﯬ ﰌ​

All will then be informed of what they have sent forth and left behind.
ﯮﯯﯰﯱﯲ ﰍ​

In fact, people will testify against their own souls,1
ﯴﯵﯶ ﰎ​

despite the excuses they come up with.
ﯸﯹﯺﯻﯼﯽ ﰏ​

Do not rush your tongue trying to memorize ˹a revelation of˺ the Quran.
ﯿﰀﰁﰂ ﰐ​

It is certainly upon Us to ˹make you˺ memorize and recite it.
ﰄﰅﰆﰇ ﰑ​

So once We have recited a revelation ˹through Gabriel˺, follow its recitation ˹closely˺.
ﰉﰊﰋﰌ ﰒ​

Then it is surely upon Us to make it clear ˹to you˺.
ﭑﭒﭓﭔ ﰓ​

But no! In fact, you love this fleeting world,
ﭖﭗ ﰔ​

and neglect the Hereafter.
ﭙﭚﭛ ﰕ​

On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be bright,
ﭝﭞﭟ ﰖ​

looking at their Lord.
ﭡﭢﭣ ﰗ​

And ˹other˺ faces will be gloomy,
ﭥﭦﭧﭨﭩ ﰘ​

anticipating something devastating to befall them.
ﭫﭬﭭﭮ ﰙ​

But no! ˹Beware of the day˺ when the soul reaches the collar bone ˹as it leaves˺,
ﭰﭱﭲﭳ ﰚ​

and it will be said, “Is there any healer ˹who can save this life˺?”
ﭵﭶﭷ ﰛ​

And the dying person realizes it is ˹their˺ time to depart,
ﭹﭺﭻ ﰜ​

and ˹then˺ their feet are tied together ˹in a shroud˺.
ﭽﭾﭿﮀ ﰝ​

On that day they will be driven to your Lord ˹alone˺.
ﮂﮃﮄﮅ ﰞ​

This denier neither believed nor prayed,
ﮇﮈﮉ ﰟ​

but persisted in denial and turned away,
ﮋﮌﮍﮎﮏ ﰠ​

then went to their own people, walking boastfully.
ﮑﮒﮓ ﰡ​

Woe to you, and more woe!
ﮕﮖﮗﮘ ﰢ​

Again, woe to you, and even more woe!
ﮚﮛﮜﮝﮞ ﰣ​

Do people think they will be left without purpose?
ﮠﮡﮢﮣﮤﮥ ﰤ​

Were they not ˹once˺ a sperm-drop emitted?
ﮧﮨﮩﮪﮫ ﰥ​

Then they became a clinging clot ˹of blood˺,1 then He developed and perfected their form,
ﮭﮮﮯﮰﮱ ﰦ​

producing from it both sexes, male and female.
ﯔﯕﯖﯗﯘﯙﯚ ﰧ​

Is such ˹a Creator˺ unable to bring the dead back to life?
