47 Till the inevitable overtook us.

48 So the intercession of intercessors will not avail them.

49 What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the Reminder.

50 As if they were frightened asses,

51 Fleeing from a lion?

52 Nay, everyone of them desires that he should be given pages spread out —

53 By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter.

54 Nay, it is surely a Reminder.

55 So whoever pleases may mind it.

56 And they will not mind unless Allāh please. He is Worthy that duty should be kept to Him and Worthy to forgive.

Chapter 75 Al-Qiyāmah: The Resurrection

1 Nay, I swear by the day of Resurrection!

2 Nay, I swear by the self-accusing spirit!

3 Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?

4 Yea, We are Powerful to make complete his whole make.

5 Nay, man desires to go on doing evil in front of him.

6 He asks: When is the day of Resurrection?

7 So when the sight is confused,

8 And the moon becomes dark,

9 And the sun and the moon are brought together —

10 Man will say on that day: Whither to flee?

11 No! There is no refuge!

12 With thy Lord on that day is the place of rest.

13 Man will that day be informed of what he sent before and what he put off.
