فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمۡ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ ٤٨
So the pleas of intercessors will be of no benefit to them.
74:48
فَمَا لَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلتَّذۡكِرَةِ مُعۡرِضِينَ ٤٩
Now, what is the matter with them that they are turning away from the reminder,
74:49
كَأَنَّهُمۡ حُمُرٞ مُّسۡتَنفِرَةٞ ٥٠
as if they were spooked zebras
74:50
فَرَّتۡ مِن قَسۡوَرَةِۭ ٥١
fleeing from a lion?
74:51
بَلۡ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُؤۡتَىٰ صُحُفٗا مُّنَشَّرَةٗ ٥٢
In fact, each one of them wishes to be given a ˹personal˺ letter ˹from Allah˺ for all ˹to read˺.1
74:52
كـَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ ٥٣
But no! In fact, they do not fear the Hereafter.
74:53
كـَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذۡكِرَةٞ ٥٤
Enough! Surely this ˹Quran˺ is a reminder.
74:54
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ٥٥
So let whoever wills be mindful of it.
74:55
وَمَا يَذۡكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ هُوَ أَهۡلُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ وَأَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِ ٥٦
But they cannot do so unless Allah wills. He ˹alone˺ is worthy to be feared and entitled to forgive.
74:56
لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ ١
I do swear by the Day of Judgment!
75:1
وَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ٢
And I do swear by the self-reproaching soul!
75:2
أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ٣
Do people think We cannot reassemble their bones?
75:3
بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُۥ ٤
Yes ˹indeed˺! We are ˹most˺ capable of restoring ˹even˺ their very fingertips.1
75:4
بَلۡ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفۡجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ٥
Still people want to deny what is yet to come,
75:5
يَسۡـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ ٦
asking ˹mockingly˺, “When is this Day of Judgment?”
75:6
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ ٧
But when the sight is stunned,
75:7
وَخَسَفَ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ٨
and the moon is dimmed,
75:8
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ ٩
and the sun and the moon are brought together,1
75:9
يَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ أَيۡنَ ٱلۡمَفَرُّ ١٠
on that Day one will cry, “Where is the escape?”
75:10
كـَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ١١
But no! There will be no refuge.
75:11
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقَرُّ ١٢
On that Day all will end up before your Lord.
75:12
يُنَبَّؤُاْ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ١٣
All will then be informed of what they have sent forth and left behind.
75:13
بَلِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٞ ١٤
In fact, people will testify against their own souls,1
75:14
وَلَوۡ أَلۡقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ ١٥
despite the excuses they come up with.
75:15
لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦٓ ١٦
Do not rush your tongue trying to memorize ˹a revelation of˺ the Quran.
75:16
إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ ١٧
It is certainly upon Us to ˹make you˺ memorize and recite it.
75:17
فَإِذَا قَرَأۡنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعۡ قُرۡءَانَهُۥ ١٨
So once We have recited a revelation ˹through Gabriel˺, follow its recitation ˹closely˺.
75:18
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا بَيَانَهُۥ ١٩
Then it is surely upon Us to make it clear ˹to you˺.
75:19
