75. "The Resurrection"
  
     
1.
 No, I swear by the Day of Resurrection;
 
2.
 No, I swear by the accusing soul that this Scripture is true.
 
3.
 Does humanity think that The Lord will not assemble us to our former glory?
 
4.
 Yea, verily. He is able to restore the smallest details of our selves!
 
5.
 Yet a man or woman would pretend to deny what is before them.
 
6.
 They ask: When will be this Day of Resurrection?
 
7.
 But when sight is confounded  
8.
 And the moon is eclipsed  
9.
 And sun and moon are united,
 
10.
 On that day humanity will cry: Where can we escape!
 
11.
 Alas! There shall be no refuge!
 
12.
 Unto thy Lord is the only protection that day.
 
13.
 On that day every man and woman shall be told the tale of that which they have done in their lives and what which they have failed to do.
  
14.
 Oh, but humanity is a telling witness against itself,
 
15.
 Although we may wish to give our excuses.
 
16.
 Hold your tongue and do not rush to such action.
 
17.
 Behold! Upon the Lord rests the responsibility for our architecture and the reading of our actions in life.
 
18.
 And when The Lord read us, the reading shall be clear to you;
 
19.
 Behold! As The Lord has explained to you.
 
20.
 Alas, you may love what is fleeting when you are alive now.
  
21.
 And neglect any preparation for the Hereafter.
 
22.
 Yet on that day, some faces will be resplendent,
 
23.
 Looking toward their Lord;  
24.
 And on that day other faces will be despondent,
 
25.
 You will know that some great disaster is about to fall on them.
 
26.
 For when a persons life is about to end.
 
27.
 And men and woman say: Where are the miracle workers who can save us now?
 
28.
 And they know that it is the end of their lives;
 
29.
 And they fear impending agony in the afterlife;
 
30.
 Then on that day their desperate goal shall be to seek out The Lord.
  
31.
 For those in life that neither trusted the Lord, nor prayed.
 
32.
 But those in life that denied the truth of these words and flouted their independence.
 
33.
 Then went to their friends and family and boasted of their acts.
 
34.
 Nearer unto you and nearer,  
35.
 Again nearer unto you and nearer is the doom.
 
36.
 Does humanity think that it was left to be aimless?
 
37.
 Was mankind not a drop of cellular material which the Lord streamed forth?
 
38.
 Then we became a conception; that Allah then shaped and fashioned
 
39.
 And made of us a pair, the male and female.
 
40.
 Is not He who does these things also able to bring the dead to life ?
