| 1. I do call to witness 
												the Resurrection Day;
 2. And I do call to witness the 
												self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew 
												Evil).
 
 3. Does man think that We cannot 
												assemble his bones?
 
 4. Nay, We are able to put 
												together in perfect order the 
												very tips of his fingers.
 
 5. But man wishes to do wrong 
												(even) in the time in front of 
												him.
 
 6. He questions: "When is the 
												Day of Resurrection?"
 
 7. At length, when the sight is 
												dazed,
 
 8. And the moon is buried in 
												darkness.
 
 9. And the sun and moon are 
												joined together,-
 
 10. That Day will Man say: 
												"Where is the refuge?"
 
 11. By no means! No place of 
												safety!
 
 12. Before thy Lord (alone), 
												that Day will be the place of 
												rest.
 
 13. That Day will Man be told 
												(all) that he put forward, and 
												all that he put back.
 
 14. Nay, man will be evidence 
												against himself,
 
 15. Even though he were to put 
												up his excuses.
 
 16. Move not thy tongue 
												concerning the (Qur'an) to make 
												haste therewith.
 
 17. It is for Us to collect it 
												and to promulgate it:
 
 18. But when We have promulgated 
												it, follow thou its recital (as 
												promulgated):
 
 19. Nay more, it is for Us to 
												explain it (and make it clear):
 
 20. Nay, (ye men!) but ye love 
												the fleeting life,
 
 21. And leave alone the 
												Hereafter.
 
 22. Some faces, that Day, will 
												beam (in brightness and 
												beauty);-
 
 23. Looking towards their Lord;
 
 24. And some faces, that Day, 
												will be sad and dismal,
 
 25. In the thought that some 
												back-breaking calamity was about 
												to be inflicted on them;
 
 26. Yea, when (the soul) reaches 
												to the collar-bone (in its 
												exit),
 
 27. And there will be a cry, 
												"Who is a magician (to restore 
												him)?"
 
 28. And he will conclude that it 
												was (the Time) of Parting;
 
 29. And one leg will be joined 
												with another:
 
 30. That Day the Drive will be 
												(all) to thy Lord!
 
 31. So he gave nothing in 
												charity, nor did he pray!-
 
 32. But on the contrary, he 
												rejected Truth and turned away!
 
 33. Then did he stalk to his 
												family in full conceit!
 
 34. Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, 
												woe!
 
 35. Again, Woe to thee, (O 
												men!), yea, woe!
 
 36. Does man think that he will 
												be left uncontrolled, (without 
												purpose)?
 
 37. Was he not a drop of sperm 
												emitted (in lowly form)?
 
 38. Then did he become a 
												leech-like clot; then did 
												((Allah)) make and fashion (him) 
												in due proportion.
 
 39. And of him He made two 
												sexes, male and female.
 
 40. Has not He, (the same), the 
												power to give life to the dead?
