- Juz 29
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ
I swear by the Day of Resurrection
وَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ
And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection]
أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ
Does man think that We will not assemble his bones
بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُۥ
Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips
بَلۡ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفۡجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ
But man desires to continue in sin
يَسۡـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ
He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ
So when vision is dazzled
وَخَسَفَ ٱلۡقَمَرُ
And the moon darkens
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ
And the sun and the moon are joined
يَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ أَيۡنَ ٱلۡمَفَرُّ
Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ
No! There is no refuge
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقَرُّ
To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence
يُنَبَّؤُاْ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ
Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back
بَلِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٞ
Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness
وَلَوۡ أَلۡقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ
Even if he presents his excuses
لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦٓ
Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an
إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ
Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation
فَإِذَا قَرَأۡنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعۡ قُرۡءَانَهُۥ
So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا بَيَانَهُۥ
Then upon Us is its clarification [to you]
كَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ
No! But you love the immediate
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ
And leave the Hereafter
وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاضِرَةٌ
[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٞ
Looking at their Lord
وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بَاسِرَةٞ
And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٞ
Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِيَ
No! When the soul has reached the collar bones
وَقِيلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقٖ
And it is said, "Who will cure [him]
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ
And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation
وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ
And the leg is wound about the leg
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمَسَاقُ
To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ
And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
But [instead], he denied and turned away
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ
And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride]
أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰ
Woe to you, and woe
ثُمَّ أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰٓ
Then woe to you, and woe
أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتۡرَكَ سُدًى
Does man think that he will be left neglected
أَلَمۡ يَكُ نُطۡفَةٗ مِّن مَّنِيّٖ يُمۡنَىٰ
Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]
فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ
And made of him two mates, the male and the female
أَلَيۡسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحۡـِۧيَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ
Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead
