Sura 75 The Resurrection (Al-Qeyammah)

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

[75:1] I swear by the Day of Resurrection!

[75:2] And I swear by the self that is constantly blaming!

[75:3] Does the human being think that We will not reassemble his bones?

[75:4] Yes indeed! We are Capable of restoring even his fingertips.

Footnote 75:4 – The significance of the words 'fingertips' in this verse was not fully understood until the 19th century when fingerprints, which are unique to every person, were discovered. God is not only able to reassemble the bones of the human being (75:3) but He is able to reconstruct the finest details of the human body.

[75:5] Yet the human being wishes to sin for the time left ahead of him.

[75:6] He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

[75:7] Then, when the sight is dazzled,

[75:8] and the moon is eclipsed,

[75:9] and the sun and the moon are joined;

[75:10] on that Day, the human being will say, "Where is the escape?"

[75:11] No indeed! There is no refuge.

[75:12] To your Lord, on that Day, is the place of settlement.

[75:13] The human being will be informed on that Day of what he did to his credit and what he did to his debit.

[75:14] In fact, the human being is an eye-witness against himself

[75:15] in spite of any excuses he may offer.
