Surah Al-Qiyama in the Qaloun Recitation

لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ اِ۬لْقِيَٰمَةِ﴿1﴾

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اِ۬للَّوَّامَةِۖ﴿2﴾

And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].

أَيَحْسِبُ اُ۬لْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ﴿3﴾

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰۖ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُۥۖ﴿4﴾

Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

بَلْ يُرِيدُ اُ۬لْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥۖ﴿5﴾

But man desires to continue in sin.

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ اُ۬لْقِيَٰمَةِۖ﴿6﴾

He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

فَإِذَا بَرَقَ اَ۬لْبَصَرُ﴿7﴾

So when vision is dazzled.

وَخَسَفَ اَ۬لْقَمَرُ﴿8﴾

And the moon darkens.

وَجُمِعَ اَ۬لشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ﴿9﴾

And the sun and the moon are joined,

يَقُولُ اُ۬لْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ اَ۬لْمَفَرُّۖ﴿10﴾

Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَۖ﴿11﴾

No! There is no refuge.

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ اِ۬لْمُسْتَقَرُّۖ﴿12﴾

To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.

يُنَبَّؤُاْ اُ۬لْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذِۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَۖ﴿13﴾

Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.

بَلِ اِ۬لْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٞ﴿14﴾

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥۖ﴿15﴾

Even if he presents his excuses.

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦۖ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥۖ﴿16﴾

Move not your tongue with it, [O Muḥammad], to hasten with it [i.e., recitation of the Qur’ān]. Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ﴿17﴾

So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥۖ﴿18﴾

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ اَ۬لْعَاجِلَةَ﴿19﴾

No! But you [i.e., mankind] love the immediate

وَتَذَرُونَ اَ۬لْأٓخِرَةَۖ﴿20﴾

And leave [i.e., neglect] the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٞ يَوْمَئِذٖ نَّاضِرَةٌ﴿21﴾

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٞۖ﴿22﴾

Looking at their Lord.

وَوُجُوهٞ يَوْمَئِذِۢ بَاسِرَةٞ﴿23﴾

And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,

تَظُنُّ أَنْ يُّفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٞۖ﴿24﴾

Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.

كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ اِ۬لتَّرَاقِيَ﴿25﴾

No! When it [i.e., the soul] has reached the collar bones

وَقِيلَ مَن رَّاقٖ﴿26﴾

And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ اُ۬لْفِرَاقُ﴿27﴾

And he [i.e., the dying one] is certain that it is the [time of] separation

وَالْتَفَّتِ اِ۬لسَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ﴿28﴾

And the leg is wound about the leg,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ اِ۬لْمَسَاقُۖ﴿29﴾

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰۖ﴿30﴾

And he [i.e., the disbeliever] had not believed, nor had he prayed.

وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰۖ﴿31﴾

But [instead], he denied and turned away.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰۖ﴿32﴾

And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ﴿33﴾

Woe to you, and woe!

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰۖ﴿34﴾

Then woe to you, and woe!

أَيَحْسِبُ اُ۬لْإِنسَٰنُ أَنْ يُّتْرَكَ سُدىًۖ﴿35﴾

Does man think that he will be left neglected?

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةٗ مِّن مَّنِيّٖ تُمْنَىٰ﴿36﴾

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ﴿37﴾

Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allāh] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ اُ۬لزَّوْجَيْنِ اِ۬لذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰۖ﴿38﴾

And made of him two mates, the male and the female.

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَنْ يُّحْـِۧيَ اَ۬لْمَوْتَىٰۖ﴿39﴾

Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
