The Rising of the Dead, Resurrection — Bijan Moeinian Translation – Parallel Quran

1 Truth of the Resurrection

۞ لَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِیَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ ۝١

I (God) swear that Resurrection will surely take place

lā uq'simu biyawmi l-qiyāmat

وَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ۝٢

And I (God) swear that in that day each soul will self accuse itself

walā uq'simu bil-nafsi l-lawāmat

أَیَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ۝٣

Do disbelievers think that God is not capable of assembling back their bones

ayaḥsabu l-insānu allan najmaʿa ʿiẓāmah

بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِینَ عَلَىٰۤ أَن نُّسَوِّیَ بَنَانَهُۥ ۝٤

Yes, God is capable of reproducing every man in detail giving them the same finger print that would distinguish them from each other

balā qādirīna ʿalā an nusawwiya banānah

بَلۡ یُرِیدُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ لِیَفۡجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ۝٥

The reason for which man is denying Resurrection is because he wants to continue living in sin and does not like the idea of being held accountable for his actions

bal yurīdu l-insānu liyafjura amāmah

یَسۡءَلُ أَیَّانَ یَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ ۝٦

That is why the disbeliever jokingly ask when will Resurrection take place

yasalu ayyāna yawmu l-qiyāmat

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ ۝٧

Resurrection will take place when a dazing light overtakes the sights

fa-idhā bariqa l-baṣar

وَخَسَفَ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ۝٨

And the moon becomes dar

wakhasafa l-qamar

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ ۝٩

And the sun will explode and engulf the moon

wajumiʿa l-shamsu wal-qamar

یَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ أَیۡنَ ٱلۡمَفَرُّ ۝١٠

In that day man will seek for a refuge

yaqūlu l-insānu yawma-idhin ayna l-mafar

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ۝١١

But there shall be no refuge

kallā lā wazar

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقَرُّ ۝١٢

There will be only one place to take refuge in: in your Lord

ilā rabbika yawma-idhin l-mus'taqar

یُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ یَوۡمَىِٕذِۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ۝١٣

On that day man will be informed of what good or bad he did (or did not) during his worldly life, how his actions affected the others at his time as well as the generations to come and what opportunities he missed

yunabba-u l-insānu yawma-idhin bimā qaddama wa-akhar

بَلِ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ بَصِیرَةࣱ ۝١٤

Man knows who he is and what he has done

bali l-insānu ʿalā nafsihi baṣīratu

وَلَوۡ أَلۡقَىٰ مَعَاذِیرَهُۥ ۝١٥

Even though he may bring many excuses to justify his behavior

walaw alqā maʿādhīrah

لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦۤ ۝١٦

O’ Mohammad, be patient in reciting and putting this Qur’an together

lā tuḥarrik bihi lisānaka litaʿjala bih

إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ ۝١٧

I (God) am the only one to put this Qur’an together and its recitation is to please Me

fa-idhā qaranāhu fa-ittabiʿ qur'ānah

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا بَیَانَهُۥ ۝١٩

thumma inna ʿalaynā bayānah

كَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ ۝٢٠

The fact is that you love this life so much…

kallā bal tuḥibbūna l-ʿājilat

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡءَاخِرَةَ ۝٢١

… that you forget about Hereafter

تَظُنُّ أَن یُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةࣱ ۝٢٥

Knowing that a back breaking calamity is waiting for them

taẓunnu an yuf'ʿala bihā fāqiratu

كَلَّاۤ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِیَ ۝٢٦

In the moment of death, when the soul comes up to the throat

kallā idhā balaghati l-tarāqiy

وَقِیلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقࣲ ۝٢٧

Man will hear a voice: “Which magician can return this soul back to the body?”

waqīla man rāqi

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ ۝٢٨

Then man knows that it is time to leave

waẓanna annahu l-firāq

وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ۝٢٩

Then each leg will stay motionless to the next leg
