In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful




1. I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;

2. And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit; (eschew
Evil)

3. Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?

4. Nay We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips
of his fingers

5. But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him

6. He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

7. At length when the Sight is dazed

8. And the moon is buried in darkness

9. And the sun and moon are joined together

10. That Day will Man say "Where is the refuge?"

11. By no means! No place of safety!

12. Before thy Lord (alone) that Day will be the place of rest

13. That Day will man be told (all) that he put forward and all
that he put back

14. Nay man will be evidence against himself

15. Even though he were to put up his excuses

16. Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste
therewith

17. It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it

18. But when We have promulgated it follow thou its recital (as
promulgated):

19. Nay more it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear)

20. Nay (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life

21. And leave alone the Hereafter

22. Some faces that Day will beam (in brightness and beauty)

23. Looking towards their Lord

24. And some faces that Day will be sad and dismal

25. In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to
be inflicted on them

26. Yea when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit)

27. And there will be a cry "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"

28. And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting

29. And one leg will be joined with another

30. That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!

31. So he gave nothing in charity nor did he pray!

32. But on the contrary He rejected Truth and turned away!

33. Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!

34. Woe to thee (O man!) yea woe!

35. Again woe to thee (O man!) yea woe!

36. Does Man think that he will be left uncontrolled (without
purpose)?

37. Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?

38. Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make
and fashion (him) in due proportion

39. And of him He made two sexes male and female

40. Has not He (the same) the power to give life to the dead?





In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful




1. Has there not been over Man a long period of Time when he was
nothing (not even) mentioned?

2. Verily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm in order to
try him: so We gave him (the gifts) of Hearing and Sight.

3. We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful
(rests on his will)

4. For the Rejecters We have prepared Chains Yokes and a Blazing
Fire

5. As to the Righteous they shall drink of a Cup (of Wine) mixed
with Kafur

6. A Fountain where the Devotees of Allah do drink making it flow
in unstinted abundance

7. They perform (their) vows and they fear a Day whose evil flies
far and wide

8. And they feed for the love of Allah the indigent the orphan
and the captive

9. (Saying) "We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: No reward
do we desire from you nor thanks

10. "We only fear a Day of distressful Wrath from the side of our
Lord."

11. But Allah will deliver them from the evil of that Day and
will shed over them a light of Beauty and a (blissful) Joy.

12. And because they were patient and constant He will reward
them with a Garden and (garments of) silk

13. Reclining in the (Garden) on raised thrones they will see
there neither the sun's (excessive heat) nor (the moon's)
excessive cold

14. And the shades of the (Garden) will come low over them and
the bunches (of fruit) there will hang low in humility

15. And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and
goblets of crystal

16. Crystal-clear made of silver: they will determine the measure
thereof (according to their wishes)

17. And they will be given to drink there of a Cup (of Wine)
mixed with Zanjabil

18. A fountain there called Salsabil

19. And round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual
(freshness): if thou seest them thou wouldst think them scattered
Pearls.

20. And when thou lookest it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a
Realm Magnificent

21. Upon them will be green Garments of fine silk and heavy
brocade and they will be adorned with Bracelets of silver; and
their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine Pure and Holy

22. "Verily this is a Reward for you and your Endeavor is
accepted and recognized."

23. It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages

24. Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy
Lord and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them.

25. And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening

26. And part of the night prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify
Him a long night through

27. As to these they love the fleeting life and put away behind
them a Day (that will be) hard

28. It is We Who created them and We have made their joints
strong; but when We will We can substitute the like of them by a
complete change

29. This is an admonition: whosoever will let him take a
(straight) Path to his Lord

30. But ye will not except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of
Knowledge and Wisdom

31. He will admit to His Mercy Whom He will; but the wrongdoers
for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty
