Al-Muddaththir
فَمَا تَنْفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ48
No intercessor’s plea will benefit them now
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ49
What is the matter with them? Why do they turn away from the warning
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُسْتَنْفِرَةٌ50
like frightened asses
فَرَّتْ مِنْ قَسْوَرَةٍ51
fleeing from a lion
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُنَشَّرَةً52
Each one of them demands that a scripture be sent down to him and unrolled before his very eyes
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ لَا يَخَافُونَ الْآخِرَةَ53
No! Truly they have no fear of the life to come
كَلَّا إِنَّهُ تَذْكِرَةٌ54
but truly this is a reminder
فَمَنْ شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ55
Let whoever wishes to take heed do so
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ56
they will only take heed if God so wishes. He is the Lord who should be heeded, the Lord of forgiveness
Al-Qiyama
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ1
By the Day of Resurrection
وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ2
and by the self-reproaching soul
أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَلَّنْ نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ3
Does man think We shall not put his bones back together
بَلَىٰ قَادِرِينَ عَلَىٰ أَنْ نُسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ4
In fact, We can reshape his very fingertips
بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنْسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ5
Yet man wants to deny what is ahead of him
يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ6
he says, ‘So, when will this Day of Resurrection be?’
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ7
When eyes are dazzled
وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ8
and the moon eclipsed
وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ9
when the sun and the moon are brought together
يَقُولُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ10
on that Day man will say, ‘Where can I escape?’
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ11
Truly, there is no refuge
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ12
they will all return to your Lord on that Day
يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ13
On that Day, man will be told what he put first and what he put last
بَلِ الْإِنْسَانُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ14
Truly, man is a clear witness against himself
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُ15
despite all the excuses he may put forward
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ16
[Prophet], do not rush your tongue in an attempt to hasten [your memorization of] the Revelation
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ17
We shall make sure of its safe collection and recitation
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ18
When We have recited it, repeat the recitation
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ19
and We shall make it clear
