Surah Introduction

This Meccan sûrah refutes the pagan denial of resurrection and judgment. The sûrah makes it clear that death and judgment are inescapable. The fact that Allah created humans from humble fluids and is able to bring all to account is detailed in the next sûrah.


Translation of Verse 1-30
1. In the Name of Allah-the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

1. I do swear by the Day of Judgment!

2. And I do swear by the self- reproaching soul!

3. Do people think We cannot reassemble their bones?

4. Yes ˹indeed˺! We are ˹most˺ capable of restoring ˹even˺ their very fingertips. 1257

5. Still people want to deny what is yet to come,

6. asking ˹mockingly˺, "When is this Day of Judgment?"

7. But when the sight is stunned,

8. and the moon is dimmed,

9. and the sun and the moon are brought together, 1258

10. on that Day one will cry, "Where is the escape?"

11. But no! There will be no refuge.

12. On that Day all will end up before your Lord.

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

14. In fact, people will testify against their own souls, 1259

15. despite the excuses they come up with.

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

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

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

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

20. But no! In fact, you love this fleeting world,

21. and neglect the Hereafter.

22. On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be bright,

23. looking at their Lord.

24. And ˹other˺ faces will be gloomy,

25. anticipating something devastating to befall them.

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

27. and it will be said, "Is there any healer ˹who can save this life˺?"

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

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

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


Commentary

1257. This refers to the fact that every human has a unique set of fingerprints.

1258. They both will rise from the west and lose their light.

1259. Their organs will testify against them. See 41:19-24.
