The Quran

I do swear by the Day of Judgment

And I do swear by the self-reproaching soul

Do people think We cannot reassemble their bones

Yes ˹indeed˺! We are ˹most˺ capable of restoring ˹even˺ their very fingertips

Still people want to deny what is yet to come

asking ˹mockingly˺, “When is this Day of Judgment?”

But when the sight is stunned

and the moon is dimmed

and the sun and the moon are brought together

on that Day one will cry, “Where is the escape?”

But no! There will be no refuge

On that Day all will end up before your Lord

All will then be informed of what they have sent forth and left behind

In fact, people will testify against their own souls

despite the excuses they come up with

Do not rush your tongue trying to memorize ˹a revelation of˺ the Quran

It is certainly upon Us to ˹make you˺ memorize and recite it

So once We have recited a revelation ˹through Gabriel˺, follow its recitation ˹closely˺

Then it is surely upon Us to make it clear ˹to you˺

But no! In fact, you love this fleeting world

and neglect the Hereafter

On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be bright

looking at their Lord

And ˹other˺ faces will be gloomy

anticipating something devastating to befall them

But no! ˹Beware of the day˺ when the soul reaches the collar bone ˹as it leaves˺

and it will be said, “Is there any healer ˹who can save this life˺?”

And the dying person realizes it is ˹their˺ time to depart

and ˹then˺ their feet are tied together ˹in a shroud˺

On that day they will be driven to your Lord ˹alone˺

This denier neither believed nor prayed

but persisted in denial and turned away

then went to their own people, walking boastfully

Woe to you, and more woe

Again, woe to you, and even more woe

Do people think they will be left without purpose

Were they not ˹once˺ a sperm-drop emitted

Then they became a clinging clot ˹of blood˺, then He developed and perfected their form

producing from it both sexes, male and female

Is such ˹a Creator˺ unable to bring the dead back to life
