Surah Al-Qiyamah: The Awakening

Revealed at Makkah


75:21
and forsake the Hereafter.


75:22
Faces on that day will be shining,


75:23
looking towards their Rabb,


75:24
And faces on that day will be gloomy,


75:25
thinking that some back-breaking calamity is going to fall upon them.


75:26
No, when it reaches the throat,


75:27
it will then be said: “Who is the charmer?”


75:28
And he thinks that it is the departing,


75:29
and one shin will rub against the other shin;


75:30
towards your Rabb that day is the driving.


75:31
So he did not accept the truth, nor did he perform Salat;


75:32
but he belied and turned back.


75:33
Then he went back to his family walking in pride.


75:34
“Woe be to you! then woe be to you!


75:35
“Again, woe be to you, so woe be to you!”


75:36
Does man think that he will be left unrestrained?


75:37
Was he not a sperm out of an ejaculation ejaculated?


75:38
And then he was a clot, so He created and perfected;


75:39
then He made out of him a pair— the male and the female.


75:40
Is He not Capable like this of giving life to the dead?
