Quran: Sura Al-Qiyama (The Resurrection Day).

From: http://faridi.net/quran/?chapter=75

In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
75:1

I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
75:2

And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).
75:3

Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
75:4

Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.
75:5

But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.
75:6

He questions: “When is the Day of Resurrection?”
75:7

At length, when the sight is dazed,
75:8

And the moon is buried in darkness.
75:9

And the sun and moon are joined together,-
75:10

That Day will Man say: “Where is the refuge?”
75:11

By no means! No place of safety!
75:12

Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.
75:13

That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.
75:14

Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
75:15

Even though he were to put up his excuses.
75:16

Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur’an) to make haste therewith.
75:17

It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
75:18

But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):
75:19

Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
75:20

Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
75:21

And leave alone the Hereafter.
75:22

Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-
75:23

Looking towards their Lord;
75:24

And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
75:25

In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
75:26

Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),
75:27

And there will be a cry, “Who is a magician (to restore him)?”
75:28

And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
75:29

And one leg will be joined with another:
75:30

That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
75:31

So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-
75:32

But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
75:33

Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
75:34

Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
75:35

Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
75:36

Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
75:37

Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
75:38

Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
75:39

And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
75:40

Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
