Surah 75
Surah Al-Qiyamah: The Awakening
Revealed at Makkah
With the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Rewarding
75:1

75:2

75:4

75:7

75:10
on that day man will say: “Where is the place of refuge?”
75:11
Nowhere! There is no refuge!
75:12
Towards your Rabb that day is the resting place.
75:13
Man will on that day be informed as to what he sent forward, and he left behind.
75:14

75:15
even though he puts forth his excuses.
75:16
Do not move your tongue with it, so as to make haste with it.
75:17
Surely upon Us rests the collection of it, and the recitation of it.
75:18
Therefore when We have recited it, then you follow its recital.
75:19
Then again, upon Us indeed rests the explaining of it.
75:20
Never, yet you love the transitory,
