Indeed I swear by the day of the resurrection.
And Indeed I swear by the blaming soul.
Does the human being think that We will never put together his bones?
Yes indeed, We are able to make his fingers in perfect symmetry.
Nay! The human being wants to foresee what is ahead of him.
He asks, “When will be the day of the resurrection.”
But when the sight gets snatched away.
And the moon is eclipsed.
And the sun and the moon are made into one.
The human being will say that day, “Where is the place for escape?”
Not at all! There is no place for refuge.
The final resting place that day is with your Lord.
The human being will be informed that day about all that he had sent forth and all that he had sent back.
Nay! The human being is quite a witness over his own soul.
Even though he may put forward his excuses.
Do not move your tongue with it in order to hasten with it.
Indeed its gathering and recitation is upon Us.
So when We have recited it, then follow its recitation.
Then after it indeed it will be upon Us to explicate it.
Not at all! Nay. You love the present [life].
But you abandon the hereafter.
Some faces on that day will be bright.
Gazing towards their Lord.
But some faces that day will be desolate.
Thinking that a back breaking calamity was about to befall them.
Not at all! When it [the soul] reaches the extremity of the throat.
And it will be said, “Who is the soothsayer?”
And he [the dying man] will sense that it indeed is the parting.
And one leg is twisted around the other leg.
The drive that day will be towards your Lord.
Indeed he did not give out charity nor did he pray.
But he belied and turned away.
Then he went to his family swaggering.
Woe unto you and then woe unto you!
And then woe unto you and then woe unto you!
Does the human being think that he will be left alone without account?
Was he not a tiny drop from semen as it flew out?
Then he became a clot of blood so then He created [him] and then made [him] in due proportions.
Out of him [the human being], He made the two pairs; the male and the female.
Is He then not able to revive the dead?
