Sorah Al-Qiyamah ( The Resurrection ) - Verses Number 40
لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ( 1 ) 
I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ ( 2 )
And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).
أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ ( 3 )
Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
بَلَىٰ قَادِرِينَ عَلَىٰ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ ( 4 )
Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.
بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ ( 5 )
But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.
يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ ( 6 )
He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ ( 7 )
At length, when the sight is dazed,
وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ ( 8 )
And the moon is buried in darkness.
وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ ( 9 )
And the sun and moon are joined together,-
يَقُولُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ ( 10 )
That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ( 11 )
By no means! No place of safety!
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ ( 12 )
Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.
يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ( 13 )
That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.
بَلِ الْإِنسَانُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ ( 14 )
Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُ ( 15 )
Even though he were to put up his excuses.
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ ( 16 )
Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ ( 17 )
It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ ( 18 )
But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ ( 19 )
Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ ( 20 )
Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ ( 21 )
And leave alone the Hereafter.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ ( 22 )
Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ ( 23 )
Looking towards their Lord;
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ ( 24 )
And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ ( 25 )
In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَ ( 26 )
Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),
وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍ ( 27 )
And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ ( 28 )
And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ ( 29 )
And one leg will be joined with another:
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ ( 30 )
That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ( 31 )
So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 32 )
But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّىٰ ( 33 )
Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ ( 34 )
Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ ( 35 )
Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى ( 36 )
Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِيٍّ يُمْنَىٰ ( 37 )
Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ( 38 )
Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ ( 39 )
And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَىٰ ( 40 )
Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?

- The World of the AngelsThe World of the Angels is an example of traditional learning and its translation fills a much needed gap in aqida (beliefs) literature in the English speaking world Basing himself exclusively on the Quran and Hadith, Sheikh Kishk deals with every aspect of the angelic world. He goes from discussing the creation and nature of the angels to enumerating their many different types and also explains their role in existence and the character of their interaction with the human race. An in depth understanding of the nature and activity of the angels is essential for the people of today. Particularly in the face of the onslaught of scientific materialism which has done so much to weaken the bases of belief in this time. This book should help a great deal towards this end.

- Explaining the Meaning of An-Nur (the Light), One of Allah's NamesThis nice article discusses a very nice topic. It discusses the meaning of Allah's name: An-Nur (the Light). No doubt lots of Muslims did not read about its meaning due to its being obvious but we should take much care of knowing any aspect of Islam even if we think it is very clear. Dr. Saleh As-Saleh explains its meaning through explaining the verse in which it is mentioned in Surat An-Nur.
