Al-Qiyâmah

(1)I swear by the Day of Resurrection;

(2)And I swear by the self-reproaching person (a believer).

(3)Does man (a disbeliever) think that We shall not assemble his bones?

(4)Yes, We are Able to put together in perfect order the tips of his fingers.[]

(5)Nay! (Man denies Resurrection and Reckoning. So) he desires to continue committing sins.

(6)He asks: "When will be this Day of Resurrection?"

(7)So, when the sight shall be dazed,

(8)And the moon will be eclipsed,

(9)And the sun and moon will be joined together (by going one into the other or folded up or deprived of their light, etc.)[]

(10)On that Day man will say: "Where (is the refuge) to flee?"

(11)No! There is no refuge!

(12)Unto your Lord (Alone) will be the place of rest that Day.

(13)On that Day man will be informed of what he sent forward (of his evil or good deeds), and what he left behind (of his good or evil traditions).

(14)Nay! Man will be a witness against himself [as his body parts (skin, hands, legs, etc.) will speak about his deeds].

(15)Though he may put forth his excuses (to cover his evil deeds).

(16)Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'ân, O Muhammad SAW) to make haste therewith.

(17)It is for Us to collect it and to give you (O Muhammad SAW) the ability to recite it (the Qur'ân),

(18)And when We have recited it to you [O Muhammad SAW through Jibrael (Gabriel)], then follow you its (the Qur'ân's) recital.

(19)Then it is for Us (Allâh) to make it clear to you,

(20)Not [as you think, that you (mankind) will not be resurrected and recompensed for your deeds], but (you men) love the present life of this world,

(21)And leave (neglect) the Hereafter.

(22)Some faces that Day shall be Nâdirah (shining and radiant).

(23)Looking at their Lord (Allâh);

(24)And some faces, that Day, will be Bâsirah (dark, gloomy, frowning, and sad),

(25)Thinking that some calamity was about to fall on them;

(26)Nay, when (the soul) reaches to the collar bone (i.e. up to the throat in its exit),

(27)And it will be said: "Who can cure him and save him from death?"

(28)And he (the dying person) will conclude that it was (the time) of departing (death);

(29)And leg will be joined with another leg (shrouded)[]

(30)The drive will be, on that Day, to your Lord (Allâh)!

(31)So he (the disbeliever) neither believed (in this Qur'ân, in the Message of Muhammad SAW) nor prayed!

(32)But on the contrary, he belied (this Qur'ân and the Message of Muhammad SAW) and turned away!

(33)Then he walked in full pride to his family admiring himself!

(34)Woe to you [O man (disbeliever)]! And then (again) woe to you!

(35)Again, woe to you [O man (disbeliever)]! And then (again) woe to you!

(36)Does man think that he will be left Suda [neglected without being punished or rewarded for the obligatory duties enjoined by his Lord (Allâh) on him]?

(37)Was he not a Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge of semen) poured forth?

(38)Then he became an 'Alaqa (a clot); then (Allâh) shaped and fashioned (him) in due proportion.[]

(39)And made him in two sexes, male and female.

(40)Is not He (Allâh Who does that), Able to give life to the dead? (Yes! He is Able to do all things).

Al-Muddaththir

(1)O you (Muhammad SAW) enveloped (in garments)!

(2)Arise and warn!

(3)And your Lord (Allâh) magnify!

(4)And your garments purify!

(5)And keep away from Ar-Rujz (the idols)!

(6)And give not a thing in order to have more (or consider not your deeds of Allâh's obedience as a favour to Allâh).

(7)And be patient for the sake of your Lord (i.e. perform your duty to Allâh)!

(8)Then, when the Trumpet is sounded (i.e. its second blowing);

(9)Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day.

(10)Far from easy for the disbelievers.

(11)Leave Me Alone (to deal) with whom I created Alone (without any means, i.e. Al-Walîd bin Al-Mughîrah Al-Makhzûmî)!

(12)And then granted him resources in abundance.

(13)And children to be by his side!

(14)And made life smooth and comfortable for him!

(15)After all that he desires that I should give more;

(16)Nay! Verily, he has been stubborn and opposing Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.).

(17)I shall oblige him to (climb a slippery mountain in the Hell-fire called AsSa'ûd, or to) face a severe torment!

(18)Verily, he thought and plotted;

(19)So let him be cursed! How he plotted!

(20)And once more let him be cursed, how he plotted!

(21)Then he thought;

(22)Then he frowned and he looked in a bad tempered way;

(23)Then he turned back and was proud;

(24)Then he said: "This is nothing but magic from that of old;

(25)"This is nothing but the word of a human being!"

(26)I will cast him into Hell-fire[]

(27)And what will make you know exactly what Hell-fire is?

(28)It spares not (any sinner), nor does it leave (anything unburnt)!

(29)Burning the skins!

(30)Over it are nineteen (angels as guardians and keepers of Hell).

(31)And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire, and We have fixed their number (19) only as a trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at a certainty [that this Qur'ân is the truth as it agrees with their Books i.e. their number (19) is written in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and the believers may increase in Faith (as this Qur'ân is the truth) and that no doubts may be left for the people of the Scripture and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: "What Allâh intends by this (curious) example ?" Thus Allâh leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He. And this (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) reminder to mankind.

(32)Nay, and by the moon,

(33)And by the night when it withdraws,

(34)And by the dawn when it brightens,

(35)Verily, it (Hell, or their denial of the Prophet Muhammad SAW , or the Day of Resurrection) is but one of the greatest calamities.

(36)A warning to mankind,

(37)To any of you that chooses to go forward (by working righteous deeds), or to remain behind (by commiting sins),

(38)Every person is a pledge for what he has earned,

(39)Except those on the Right, (i.e. the pious true believers of Islâmic Monotheism);

(40)In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another,

(41)About Al-Mujrimûn (polytheists, criminals, disbelievers, etc.), (And they will say to them):

(42)"What has caused you to enter Hell?"

(43)They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer their Salât (prayers)[]

(44)"Nor we used to feed Al-Miskin (the poor);

(45)"And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allâh hated) with vain talkers[] .

(46)"And we used to belie the Day of Recompense[]

(47)"Until there came to us (the death) that is certain."

(48)So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them.

(49)Then what is wrong with them (i.e. the disbelievers) that they turn away from (receiving) admonition?

(50)As if they were frightened (wild) donkeys.

(51)Fleeing from a hunter, or a lion, or a beast of prey.

(52)Nay, everyone of them desires that he should be given pages spread out (coming from Allâh with a writing that Islâm is the right religion, and Muhammad SAW has come with the truth from Allâh the Lord of the heavens and earth, etc.).

(53)Nay! But they fear not the Hereafter (from Allâh's punishment).

(54)Nay, verily, this (Qur'ân) is an admonition,

(55)So whosoever will (let him read it), and receive admonition (from it)!

(56)And they will not receive admonition unless Allâh wills; He (Allâh) is the One, deserving that mankind should be afraid of, and should be dutiful to Him, and should not take any Ilâh (God) along with Him, and He is the One Who forgives (sins).
