In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I swear by the Day
of Resurrection,
nor do I swear by the self-
reproaching soul. Does
man think that We will not assemble his bones without [any] ability to
put in order the fingertips? Rather, man desires to burst [his teeth]
before him. He will ask, "When is the Day of
Resurrection?" Then, when the sight is blinded and the moon is eclipsed and the
sun
and the moon are joined,
man will say that Day, "Where is the [final] return?" No! There is no blame upon you. To your
Lord, that Day, is the
final settlement. Man will be awakened on the Day when, what he put forward and what he
left behind. Rather, man is a witness against himself, even if he puts forth his excuses. Do not move your tongue concerning it, to hasten it. Indeed, Upon Us will be its collection and its recitation. So when We have recited it, then follow its recitation. Then indeed, Upon Us will be its explanation. No! Rather, you love the immediate and neglect the Hereafter. Some faces that Day will be looking at their Lord, looking at him. And some faces that Day will be exhausted, thinking that He will make them miserable. No! When it reaches the collarbones and it is said, "Who can ascend?" And he
thinks that it is
the separation, and the leg is wound around the
leg. To your Lord, that Day, is the
driving. But he will neither believe nor pray,
but he lied and
turned away. Then he went to his family,
stretching. Better for you,
then better. Then better for you, then better. Does
man think that He is left in
vain. Was he not a drop of ejaculated semen?
Then he became
a clot, and He created and
proportioned it. Then He made from it the two mates, the male and the
female. Is He not able to give life to
the dead?
