أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed one
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1
لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ﴿1﴾
75:1
I do swear by the Day of Judgment!
2
وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ﴿2﴾
75:2
And I do swear by the self-reproaching soul!
3
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ﴿3﴾
75:3
Do people think We cannot reassemble their bones?
4
بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ ﴿4﴾
75:4
Yes ˹indeed˺! We are ˹most˺ capable of restoring ˹even˺ their very fingertips.1
5
بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ﴿5﴾
75:5
Still people want to deny what is yet to come,
6
يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ﴿6﴾
75:6
asking ˹mockingly˺, “When is this Day of Judgment?”
7
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ ﴿7﴾
75:7
But when the sight is stunned,
8
وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ ﴿8﴾
75:8
and the moon is dimmed,
9
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ ﴿9﴾
75:9
and the sun and the moon are brought together,1
10
يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ ﴿10﴾
75:10
on that Day one will cry, “Where is the escape?”
11
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ﴿11﴾
75:11
But no! There will be no refuge.
12
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ ﴿12﴾
75:12
On that Day all will end up before your Lord.
13
يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ﴿13﴾
75:13
All will then be informed of what they have sent forth and left behind.
14
بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌۭ ﴿14﴾
75:14
In fact, people will testify against their own souls,1
15
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ ﴿15﴾
75:15
despite the excuses they come up with.
16
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ ﴿16﴾
75:16
Do not rush your tongue trying to memorize ˹a revelation of˺ the Quran.
17
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ ﴿17﴾
75:17
It is certainly upon Us to ˹make you˺ memorize and recite it.
18
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ ﴿18﴾
75:18
So once We have recited a revelation ˹through Gabriel˺, follow its recitation ˹closely˺.
19
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ ﴿19﴾
75:19
Then it is surely upon Us to make it clear ˹to you˺.
20
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ ﴿20﴾
75:20
But no! In fact, you love this fleeting world,
21
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ﴿21﴾
75:21
and neglect the Hereafter.
22
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاضِرَةٌ ﴿22﴾
75:22
On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be bright,
23
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌۭ ﴿23﴾
75:23
looking at their Lord.
24
وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌۭ ﴿24﴾
75:24
And ˹other˺ faces will be gloomy,
25
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌۭ ﴿25﴾
75:25
anticipating something devastating to befall them.
26
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ ﴿26﴾
75:26
But no! ˹Beware of the day˺ when the soul reaches the collar bone ˹as it leaves˺,
27
وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍۢ ﴿27﴾
75:27
and it will be said, “Is there any healer ˹who can save this life˺?”
28
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ ﴿28﴾
75:28
And the dying person realizes it is ˹their˺ time to depart,
29
وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ﴿29﴾
75:29
and ˹then˺ their feet are tied together ˹in a shroud˺.
30
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ ﴿30﴾
75:30
On that day they will be driven to your Lord ˹alone˺.
