| 1. * | Verily I swear by the day of resurrection; |
| 2. * | and I swear by the soul which accuseth itself: |
| 3. * | Doth man think that We will not gather his bones together? |
| 4. * | Yea: We are able to put together the smallest bones of his fingers. |
| 5. * | But man chooseth to be wicked, for the time which is before him. |
| 6. * | He asketh, when will the day of resurrection be? |
| 7. * | But when the sight shall be dazzled, |
| 8. * | and the moon shall be eclipsed, |
| 9. * | and the sun and the moon shall be in conjunction; |
| 10. * | on that day man shall say, where is a place of refuge? |
| 11. * | By no means: There shall be no place to fly unto. |
| 12. * | With thy Lord shall be the sure mansion of rest on that day: |
| 13. * | On that day shall a man be told that which he hath done first and last. |
| 14. * | Yea; a man shall be an evidence against himself: |
| 15. * | And though he offer his excuses, they shall not be received. |
| 16. * | Move not thy tongue, O Mohammed, in repeating the revelations brought thee by Gabriel, before he shall have finished the same, that thou mayest quickly commit them to memory: |
| 17. * | For the collecting the Koran in thy mind, and the teaching thee the true reading thereof are incumbent on Us. |
| 18. * | But when We shall have read the same unto thee by the tongue of the angel, do thou follow the reading thereof: |
| 19. * | And afterwards it shall be our part to explain it unto thee. |
| 20. * | By no means shalt thou be thus hasty for the future. But ye love that which hasteneth away, |
| 21. * | and neglect the life to come. |
| 22. * | Some countenances, on that day, shall be bright, |
| 23. * | looking towards their Lord; |
| 24. * | and some countenances, on that day, shall be dismal: |
| 25. * | They shall think that a crushing calamity shall be brought upon them. |
| 26. * | Assuredly. When a man's soul shall come up to his throat, in his last agony; |
| 27. * | and the standers-by shall say, who bringeth a charm to recover him? |
| 28. * | And shall think it to be his departure out of this world; |
| 29. * | and one leg shall be joined with the other leg: |
| 30. * | On that day unto thy Lord shall he be driven. |
| 31. * | For he believed not, neither did he pray; |
| 32. * | but he accused God's Apostle of imposture, and turned back from obeying him: |
| 33. * | Then he departed unto his family, walking with a haughty mien. |
| 34. * | Wherefore, wo be unto thee; wo! |
| 35. * | And again, wo be unto thee; wo! |
| 36. * | Doth man think that he shall be left at full liberty, without control? |
| 37. * | Was he not a drop of seed, which was emitted? |
| 38. * | Afterwards he became a little coagulated blood; and God formed him, and fashioned him with just proportion: |
| 39. * | And made of him two sexes, the male and the female. |
| 40. * | Is not he who hath done this able to quicken the dead? |
