Qur’an — Page 578 of 604

كـَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ ٢٠

No! But you [i.e., mankind] love the immediate

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ ٢١

And leave [i.e., neglect] the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاضِرَةٌ ٢٢

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٞ ٢٣

Looking at their Lord.¹

وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بَاسِرَةٞ ٢٤

And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٞ ٢٥

Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.

كـَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِيَ ٢٦

No! When it [i.e., the soul] has reached the collar bones¹

وَقِيلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقٖ ٢٧

And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ ٢٨

And he [i.e., the dying one] is certain that it is the [time of] separation

وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ٢٩

And the leg is wound about the leg,¹

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمَسَاقُ ٣٠

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.¹

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ٣١

And he [i.e., the disbeliever] had not believed, nor had he prayed.

وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ٣٢

But [instead], he denied and turned away.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ ٣٣

And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].

أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰ ٣٤

Woe to you, and woe!

ثُمَّ أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰٓ ٣٥

Then woe to you, and woe!

أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتۡرَكَ سُدًى ٣٦

Does man think that he will be left neglected?¹

أَلَمۡ يَكُ نُطۡفَةٗ مِّن مَّنِيّٖ يُمۡنَىٰ ٣٧

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ٣٨

Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allāh] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ ٣٩

And made of him two mates, the male and the female.

أَلَيۡسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحۡـِۧيَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ ٤٠

Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?

هَلۡ أَتَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡإِنسَٰنِ حِينٞ مِّنَ ٱلدَّهۡرِ لَمۡ يَكُن شَيۡـٔٗا مَّذۡكُورًا ١

Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned?

إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ أَمۡشَاجٖ نَّبۡتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ سَمِيعَۢا بَصِيرًا ٢

Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture¹ that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing.

إِنَّا هَدَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلسَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرٗا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا ٣

Indeed, We guided him to the way, be he grateful or be he ungrateful.

إِنَّآ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ سَلَٰسِلَاْ وَأَغۡلَٰلٗا وَسَعِيرًا ٤

Indeed, We have prepared for the disbelievers chains and shackles and a blaze.

إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ يَشۡرَبُونَ مِن كَأۡسٖ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا ٥

Indeed, the righteous will drink from a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of Kāfūr,¹
