y_ali_2
 
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?
