> SURA LXXV (75) - The Resurrection  (Mecca - 40 Verses)           (XL - 55)   
>  
>        In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
>  
>        It needeth not that I swear by the day of the Resurrection,
>  
>        Or that I swear by the self-accusing soul.
>  
>        Thinketh man that we shall not re-unite his bones?
>  
>        Aye!  his very finger tips are we able evenly to replace.
>  
>        But man chooseth to deny what is before him:
>  
>        He asketh, "When this day of Resurrection?"
>  
>        But when the eye shall be dazzled,
>  
>        And when the moon shall be darkened,
>  
>        And the sun and the moon shall be together
>  
> 75:10  On that day man shall cry, "Where is there a place to flee to?"
>  
>        But in vain, - there is no refuge -
>  
>        With thy Lord on that day shall be the sole asylum.
>  
>        On that day shall man be told of all that he hath done first and last;
>  
>        Yea, a man shall be the eye witness against himself:
>  
>        And even if he put forth his plea. . . .
>  
>        (Move not thy tongue in hast to follow and master this revelation:
>  
>        For we will see to the collecting and the recital of it;
>  
>        But when we have recited it, then follow thou the recital,
>  
>        And, verily, afterwards it shall be ours to make it clear to thee.)
>  
> 75:20  Aye, but ye love the transitory,
>  
>        And ye neglect the life to come.
>  
>        On that day shall faces beam with light,
>  
>        Outlooking towards their Lord;
>  
>        And faces on that day shall be dismal,
>  
>        As if they thought that some great calamity would befal them.
>  
>        Aye, when the soul shall come up into the throat,
>  
>        And there shall be a cry, "Who hath a charm that can restore him?"
>  
>        And the man feeleth that the time of his departure is come,
>  
>        And when one leg shall be laid over the other,
>  
> 75:30  To thy Lord on that day shall he be driven on;
>  
>        For he believed not, and he did not pray,
>  
>        But he called the truth a lie and turned his back,
>  
>        Then, walking with haughty men, rejoined his people.
>  
>        That Hour is nearer to thee and hearer,
>  
>        It is ever nearer to thee and nearer still.
>  
>        Thinketh man that he shall be left supreme?
>  
>        Was he not a mere embryo?
>  
>        Then he become thick blood of which God formed him and fashioned him;
>  
>        And made him twain, male and female.
>  
> 75:40  Is not He powerful enough to quicken the dead?
