> THE CHAPTER OF THE RESURRECTION
> (LXXV. Mecca.)
> IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God.
> I need not swear by the resurrection day!
> Nor need I swear by the self-accusing soul!
> Does man think that we shall not collect his bones? Able are we to arrange his finger tips!
> Nay, but man wishes to be wicked henceforward! he asks, When is the resurrection day?
> But when the sight shall be dazed, and the moon be eclipsed, and the sun and the moon be together, and man shall say upon that day, 'Where is a place to flee to?'-nay, no refuge! and to thy Lord that day is the sure settlement: He will inform man on that day of what He has sent forward or delayed!
> Nay, man is an evidence against himself, and even if he thrusts forward his excuses-.
> Do not move thy tongue thereby to hasten it. It is for us to collect it and to read it; and when we read it then follow its reading. And again it is for us to explain it.
> Nay, indeed, but ye love the transient life, and ye neglect the hereafter!
> Faces on that day shall be bright, gazing on their Lord!
> And faces on that day shall be dismal!
> Thou wilt think that a back-breaking calamity has happened to them! Nay, but when the [soul] comes up into the throat, and it is said, 'Who will charm it back?' and he will think that it is his parting [hour]. And leg shall be pressed on leg; unto thy Lord on that day shall the driving be.
> For he did not believe and did not pray; but he said it was a lie, and turned his back! Then he went to his people haughtily- woe to thee, and woe to thee! again woe to thee, and woe to thee! Does man think that he shall be left to himself? Wasn't he a clot of emitted seed? Then he was congealed blood, and (God) created him, and fashioned him, and made of him pairs, male and female.
> Is not He able to quicken the dead?
