In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

"75.1":    Nay! I swear by the day of resurrection.

"75.2":    Nay! I swear by the self-accusing soul.

"75.3":    Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?

"75.4":    Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertips

"75.5":     Nay! man desires to give the lie to what is before him.

"75.6":    He asks: When is the day of resurrection?

"75.7":    So when the sight becomes dazed,

"75.8":    And the moon becomes dark,

"75.9":    And the sun and the moon are brought together,

"75.10":    Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?

"75.11":    By no means! there shall be no place of refuge!

"75.12":    With your Lord alone shall on that day be the place of rest.

"75.13":    Man shall on that day be informed of what he sent before and (what he) put off.

"75.14":    Nay! man is evidence against himself,

"75.15":    Though he puts forth his excuses.

"75.16":    Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,

"75.17":    Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.

"75.18":    Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.

"75.19":    Again on Us (devolves) the explaining of it.

"75.20":    Nay! But you love the present life,

"75.21":    And neglect the hereafter.

"75.22":    (Some) faces on that day shall be bright,

"75.23":    Looking to their Lord.

"75.24":    And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,

"75.25":    Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.

"75.26":    Nay! When it comes up to the throat,

"75.27":    And it is said: Who will be a magician?

"75.28":    And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting

"75.29":    And affliction is combined with affliction;

"75.30":    To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.

"75.31":    So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,

"75.32":    But called the truth a lie and turned back,

"75.33":    Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.

"75.34":    Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,

"75.35":    Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.

"75.36":    Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?

"75.37":    Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,

"75.38":    Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.

"75.39":    Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.

"75.40":    Is not He able to give life to the dead?
