Quran Verses about Resurrection

وَأَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ لَا يَبۡعَثُ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَمُوتُۚ بَلَىٰ وَعۡدًا عَلَيۡهِ حَقّٗا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٣٨

Wa aqsamū billāhi jahda aymānihim lā yabʿathullāhu may yamūt, balā waʿdan ʿalayhi ḥaqqaw wa lākinna aktharan-nāsi lā yaʿlamūn.

And they swear by Allāh their strongest oaths [that] Allāh will not resurrect one who dies. But yes - [it is] a true promise [binding] upon Him, but most of the people do not know.

۞ مِنۡهَا خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمۡ وَمِنۡهَا نُخۡرِجُكُمۡ تَارَةً أُخۡرَىٰ ٥٥

Minhā khalaqnākum wa fīhā nuʿīdukum wa minhā nukhrijukum tāratan ukhrā.

From it [i.e., the earth] We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.

وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٞ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبۡعَثُ مَن فِي ٱلۡقُبُورِ ٧

Wa annas-sāʿata ātiyatul lā rayba fīhā wa annallāha yabʿathu man fil-qubūr.

And [that they may know] that the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - and that Allāh will resurrect those in the graves.

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ تُبۡعَثُونَ ١٦

Thumma innakum yawmal-qiyāmati tubʿathūn.

Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected.

زَعَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَن لَّن يُبۡعَثُواْۚ قُلۡ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّي لَتُبۡعَثُنَّ ثُمَّ لَتُنَبَّؤُنَّ بِمَا عَمِلۡتُمۡۚ وَذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٞ ٧

Zaʿamal-ladhīna kafarū al lay yubʿathū, qul balā wa rabbī latubʿathunna thumma latunabbaʾunna bimā ʿamiltum, wa dhālika ʿalallāhi yasīr.

Those who disbelieve have claimed that they will never be resurrected. Say, "Yes, by my Lord, you will surely be resurrected; then you will surely be informed of what you did. And that, for Allāh, is easy."

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ٢٢

Thumma idhā shāʾa ansharah.

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ ٤

Alā yaẓunnu ulāʾika annahum mabʿūthūn.

Do they not think that they will be resurrected

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمۡ فِي رَيۡبٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡبَعۡثِ فَإِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن تُرَابٖ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطۡفَةٖ ثُمَّ مِنۡ عَلَقَةٖ ثُمَّ مِن مُّضۡغَةٖ مُّخَلَّقَةٖ وَغَيۡرِ مُخَلَّقَةٖ لِّنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمۡۚ وَنُقِرُّ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡحَامِ مَا نَشَآءُ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗى ثُمَّ نُخۡرِجُكُمۡ طِفۡلٗا ثُمَّ لِتَبۡلُغُوٓاْ أَشُدَّكُمۡۖ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَرۡذَلِ ٱلۡعُمُرِ لِكَيۡلَا يَعۡلَمَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ عِلۡمٖ شَيۡـٔٗاۚ وَتَرَى ٱلۡأَرۡضَ هَامِدَةٗ فَإِذَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡمَآءَ ٱهۡتَزَّتۡ وَرَبَتۡ وَأَنۢبَتَتۡ مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجِۭ بَهِيجٖ ٥

Yāʾayyuhan-nāsu in kuntum fī raybim minal-baʿthi fa innā khalaqnākum min turābin thumma min nuṭfatin thumma min ʿalaqatin thumma mim muḍghatim mukhallaqatiw wa ghayri mukhallaqatil linubayyina lakum, wa nuqirru fil-arḥāmi mā nashāʾu ilā ajalim musamman thumma nukhrijukum ṭiflan thumma litablughū ashuddakum, wa minkum may yutawaffā wa minkum may yuraddu ilā ardhalil-ʿumuri likaylā yaʿlama mim baʿdi ʿilmin shayʾā, wa taral-arḍa hāmidatan fa idhā anzalnā ʿalayhal-māʾahtazzat wa rabat wa anbatat min kulli zawjim bahīj.

O people, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed¹ - that We may show you.² And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind.

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ كَيۡفَ يُبۡدِئُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٞ ١٩

Awalam yaraw kayfa yubdiʾullāhul-khalqa thumma yuʿīduh, inna dhālika ʿalallāhi yasīr.

Have they not considered how Allāh begins creation and then repeats it? Indeed that, for Allāh, is easy.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَبۡدَؤُاْ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ وَهُوَ أَهۡوَنُ عَلَيۡهِۚ وَلَهُ ٱلۡمَثَلُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٢٧

Wa huwal-ladhī yabdaʾul-khalqa thumma yuʿīduhū wa huwa ahwanu ʿalayh, wa lahul-mathalul-aʿlā fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa huwal-ʿazīzul-ḥakīm.

And it is He who begins creation; then He repeats it, and that is [even] easier for Him. To Him belongs the highest description [i.e., attribute] in the heavens and earth. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

مَّا خَلۡقُكُمۡ وَلَا بَعۡثُكُمۡ إِلَّا كَنَفۡسٖ وَٰحِدَةٍۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعُۢ بَصِيرٌ ٢٨

Mā khalqukum wa lā baʿthukum illā kanafsiw wāḥidah, innallāha samīʿum baṣīr.

Your creation and your resurrection will not be but as that of a single soul.¹ Indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Seeing.

وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلٗا وَنَسِيَ خَلۡقَهُۥۖ قَالَ مَن يُحۡيِ ٱلۡعِظَٰمَ وَهِيَ رَمِيمٞ ٧٨

Wa ḍaraba lanā mathalaw wa nasiya khalqah, qāla may yuḥyil-ʿiẓāma wa hiya ramīm.

And he presents for Us an example¹ and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?"

قُلۡ يُحۡيِيهَا ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنشَأَهَآ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلۡقٍ عَلِيمٌ ٧٩

Qul yuḥyīhal-ladhī anshaʾahā awwala marrah, wa huwa bikulli khalqin ʿalīm.

Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing."

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَلَمۡ يَعۡيَ بِخَلۡقِهِنَّ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحۡـِۧيَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰۚ بَلَىٰٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ ٣٣

Awalam yaraw annallāhal-ladhī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa wa lam yaʿya bikhalqihinna biqādirin ʿalā ay yuḥyiyal-mawtā, balā, innahū ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr.

Do they not see that Allāh, who created the heavens and earth and did not fail in their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yes. Indeed, He is over all things competent.

أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ٣

Ayaḥsabul-insānu allan najmaʿa ʿiẓāmah.

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُۥ ٤

Balā qādirīna ʿalā an nusawwiya banānah.

Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجۡعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٞ ٨

Innahū ʿalā rajʿihī laqādir.

Indeed, He [i.e., Allāh], to return him [to life], is Able.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُرۡسِلُ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ بُشۡرَۢا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡ رَحۡمَتِهِۦۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَقَلَّتۡ سَحَابٗا ثِقَالٗا سُقۡنَٰهُ لِبَلَدٖ مَّيِّتٖ فَأَنزَلۡنَا بِهِ ٱلۡمَآءَ فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا بِهِۦ مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ ٥٧

Wa huwal-ladhī yursilur-riyāḥa bushram bayna yaday raḥmatih, ḥattā idhā aqallat saḥāban thiqālan suqnāhu libaladim mayyitin fa anzalnā bihil-māʾa fa akhrajnā bihī min kullith-thamarāt, kadhālika nukhrijul-mawtā laʿallakum tadhakkarūn.

And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy [i.e., rainfall] until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits. Thus will We bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded.

يُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡحَيَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَيِّتِ وَيُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَيِّ وَيُحۡيِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ تُخۡرَجُونَ ١٩

Yukhrijul-ḥayya minal-mayyiti wa yukhrijul-mayyita minal-ḥayyi wa yuḥyil-arḍa baʿda mawtihā, wa kadhālika tukhrajūn.

He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living and brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. And thus will you be brought out.¹

وَٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَرۡسَلَ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابٗا فَسُقۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٖ مَّيِّتٖ فَأَحۡيَيۡنَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلنُّشُورُ ٩

Wallāhul-ladhī arsalar-riyāḥa fatuthīru saḥāban fasuqnāhu ilā baladim mayyitin fa aḥyaynā bihil-arḍa baʿda mawtihā, kadhālikan-nushūr.

And it is Allāh who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds, and We drive them to a dead land and give life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness. Thus is the resurrection.

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَنَّكَ تَرَى ٱلۡأَرۡضَ خَٰشِعَةٗ فَإِذَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡمَآءَ ٱهۡتَزَّتۡ وَرَبَتۡۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَحۡيَاهَا لَمُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ ٣٩

Wa min āyātihī annaka taral-arḍa khāshiʿatan fa idhā anzalnā ʿalayhal-māʾahtazzat wa rabat, innal-ladhī aḥyāhā lamuḥyil-mawtā, innahū ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr.

And of His signs is that you see the earth stilled, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and grows. Indeed, He who has given it life is the Giver of Life to the dead. Indeed, He is over all things competent.

وَٱلَّذِي نَزَّلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءَۢ بِقَدَرٖ فَأَنشَرۡنَا بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةٗ مَّيۡتٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ تُخۡرَجُونَ ١١

Wal-ladhī nazzala minas-samāʾi māʾam biqadarin fa ansharnā bihī baldatam maytā, kadhālika tukhrajūn.

And who sends down rain from the sky in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will you be brought forth -

رِّزۡقٗا لِّلۡعِبَادِۖ وَأَحۡيَيۡنَا بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةٗ مَّيۡتٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡخُرُوجُ ١١

Rizqal lil-ʿibād, wa aḥyaynā bihī baldatam maytā, kadhālikal-khurūj.

As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the emergence [i.e., resurrection].

۞ وَإِن تَعۡجَبۡ فَعَجَبٞ قَوۡلُهُمۡ أَءِذَا كُنَّا تُرَٰبًا أَءِنَّا لَفِي خَلۡقٖ جَدِيدٍۗ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِرَبِّهِمۡۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلۡأَغۡلَٰلُ فِيٓ أَعۡنَاقِهِمۡۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ٥

Wa in taʿjab faʿajabun qawluhum aʾidhā kunnā turāban aʾinnā lafī khalqin jadīd, ulāʾikal-ladhīna kafarū birabbihim, wa ulāʾikal-aghlālu fī aʿnāqihim, wa ulāʾika aṣḥābun-nār, hum fīhā khālidūn.

And if you are astonished,¹ [O Muḥammad] - then astonishing is their saying, "When we are dust, will we indeed be [brought] into a new creation?" Those are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord, and those will have shackles² upon their necks, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

وَقَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمٗا وَرُفَٰتًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ خَلۡقٗا جَدِيدٗا ٤٩

Wa qālū aʾidhā kunnā ʿiẓāmaw wa rufātan aʾinnā lamabʿūthūna khalqan jadīdā.

And they say, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected as a new creation?"

۞ قُلۡ كُونُواْ حِجَارَةً أَوۡ حَدِيدًا ٥٠

Qul kūnū ḥijāratan aw ḥadīdā.

Say, "Be you stones or iron¹

أَوۡ خَلۡقٗا مِّمَّا يَكۡبُرُ فِي صُدُورِكُمۡۚ فَسَيَقُولُونَ مَن يُعِيدُنَاۖ قُلِ ٱلَّذِي فَطَرَكُمۡ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖۚ فَسَيُنۡغِضُونَ إِلَيۡكَ رُءُوسَهُمۡ وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هُوَۖ قُلۡ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ قَرِيبٗا ٥١

Aw khalqam mimmā yakburu fī ṣudūrikum, fasayaqūlūna may yuʿīdunā, qulil-ladhī faṭarakum awwala marrah, fasayunghiḍūna ilayka ruʾūsahum wa yaqūlūna matā huw, qul ʿasā ay yakūna qarībā.

Or [any] creation of that which is great¹ within your breasts." And they will say, "Who will restore us?" Say, "He who brought you forth the first time." Then they will nod their heads toward you² and say, "When is that?" Say, "Perhaps it will be soon -

يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُوكُمۡ فَتَسۡتَجِيبُونَ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ وَتَظُنُّونَ إِن لَّبِثۡتُمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا ٥٢

Yawma yadʿūkum fatastajībūna biḥamdihī wa taẓunnūna il labithtum illā qalīlā.

On the Day He will call you and you will respond with praise of Him and think that you had not remained [in the world] except for a little."

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ هَلۡ نَدُلُّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٖ يُنَبِّئُكُمۡ إِذَا مُزِّقۡتُمۡ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِي خَلۡقٖ جَدِيدٍ ٧

Wa qālal-ladhīna kafarū hal nadullukum ʿalā rajuliy yunabbiʾukum idhā muzziqtum kulla mumazzaqin innakum lafī khalqin jadīd.

But those who disbelieve say, "Shall we direct you to a man who will inform you [that] when you have disintegrated in complete disintegration, you will [then] be [recreated] in a new creation?

بَلۡ عَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَقَالَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَيۡءٌ عَجِيبٌ ٢

Bal ʿajibū an jāʾahum mundhirum minhum faqālal-kāfirūna hādhā shayʾun ʿajīb.

But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing.

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗاۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجۡعُۢ بَعِيدٞ ٣

Aʾidhā mitnā wa kunnā turābā, dhālika rajʿum baʿīd.

When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant [i.e., unlikely] return."

وَكَانُواْ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ ٤٧

Wa kānū yaqūlūna aʾidhā mitnā wa kunnā turābaw wa ʿiẓāman aʾinnā lamabʿūthūn.

And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ ٤٨

Awaʾābāʾunal-awwalūn.

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ٤٩

Qul innal-awwalīna wal-ākhirīn.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, the former and later peoples

لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ ٥٠

Lamajmūʿūna ilā mīqāti yawmim maʿlūm.

Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرۡدُودُونَ فِي ٱلۡحَافِرَةِ ١٠

Yaqūlūna aʾinnā lamardūdūna fil-ḥāfirah.

They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمٗا نَّخِرَةٗ ١١

Aʾidhā kunnā ʿiẓāman nakhirah.

Even if we should be decayed bones?"¹

قَالُواْ تِلۡكَ إِذٗا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٞ ١٢

Qālū tilka idhan karratun khāsirah.

They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."¹

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ ١٣

Fa innamā hiya zajratuw wāḥidah.

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ١٤

Fa idhā hum bis-sāhirah.

And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِۚ وَنَحۡشُرُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ زُرۡقٗا ١٠٢

Yawma yunfakhu fiṣ-ṣūr, wa naḥshurul-mujrimīna yawmaʾidhin zurqā.

The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed.¹

وَيَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ وَكُلٌّ أَتَوۡهُ دَٰخِرِينَ ٨٧

Wa yawma yunfakhu fiṣ-ṣūri fafaziʿa man fis-samāwāti wa man fil-arḍi illā man shāʾallāh, wa kullun atawhu dākhirīn.

And [warn of] the Day the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will be terrified except whom Allāh wills. And all will come to Him humbled.

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَن تَقُومَ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ بِأَمۡرِهِۦۚ ثُمَّ إِذَا دَعَاكُمۡ دَعۡوَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِذَآ أَنتُمۡ تَخۡرُجُونَ ٢٥

Wa min āyātihī an taqūmas-samāʾu wal-arḍu biʾamrih, thumma idhā daʿākum daʿwatam minal-arḍi idhā antum takhrujūn.

And of His signs is that the heaven and earth stand [i.e., remain] by His command. Then when He calls you with a [single] call from the earth, immediately you will come forth.

وَنُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَنسِلُونَ ٥١

Wa nufikha fiṣ-ṣūri fa idhā hum minal-ajdāthi ilā rabbihim yansilūn.

And the Horn will be blown;¹ and at once from the graves to their Lord they will hasten.

قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرۡقَدِنَاۜۗ هَٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ ٥٢

Qālū yāwaylanā mam baʿathanā mim marqadinā, hādhā mā waʿadar-raḥmānu wa ṣadaqal-mursalūn.

They will say, "O woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place?" [The reply will be], "This is what the Most Merciful had promised, and the messengers told the truth."

إِن كَانَتۡ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَإِذَا هُمۡ جَمِيعٞ لَّدَيۡنَا مُحۡضَرُونَ ٥٣

In kānat illā ṣayḥataw wāḥidatan fa idhā hum jamīʿul ladaynā muḥḍarūn.

It will not be but one blast, and at once they are all brought present before Us.

وَنُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۖ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخۡرَىٰ فَإِذَا هُمۡ قِيَامٞ يَنظُرُونَ ٦٨

Wa nufikha fiṣ-ṣūri faṣaʿiqa man fis-samāwāti wa man fil-arḍi illā man shāʾallāh, thumma nufikha fīhi ukhrā fa idhā hum qiyāmuy yanẓurūn.

And the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall dead except whom Allāh wills. Then it will be blown again, and at once they will be standing, looking on.

يَوۡمَ يَسۡمَعُونَ ٱلصَّيۡحَةَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡخُرُوجِ ٤٢

Yawma yasmaʿūnaṣ-ṣayḥata bil-ḥaqq, dhālika yawmul-khurūj.

The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves].

يَوۡمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ عَنۡهُمۡ سِرَاعٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ حَشۡرٌ عَلَيۡنَا يَسِيرٞ ٤٤

Yawma tashaqqaqul-arḍu ʿanhum sirāʿā, dhālika ḥashrun ʿalaynā yasīr.

On the Day the earth breaks away from them [and they emerge] rapidly; that is a gathering easy for Us.

يَوۡمَ يَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ سِرَاعٗا كَأَنَّهُمۡ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٖ يُوفِضُونَ ٤٣

Yawma yakhrujūna minal-ajdāthi sirāʿan kaʾannahum ilā nuṣubiy yūfiḍūn.

The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.¹

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجٗا ١٨

Yawma yunfakhu fiṣ-ṣūri fataʾtūna afwājā.

The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

۞ أَفَلَا يَعۡلَمُ إِذَا بُعۡثِرَ مَا فِي ٱلۡقُبُورِ ٩

Afalā yaʿlamu idhā buʿthira mā fil-qubūr.

But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered

وَيَوۡمَ نُسَيِّرُ ٱلۡجِبَالَ وَتَرَى ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَارِزَةٗ وَحَشَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَلَمۡ نُغَادِرۡ مِنۡهُمۡ أَحَدٗا ٤٧

Wa yawma nusayyirul-jibāla wa taral-arḍa bārizataw wa ḥasharnāhum falam nughādir minhum aḥadā.

And [warn of] the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth exposed,¹ and We will gather them and not leave behind from them anyone.

وَعُرِضُواْ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ صَفّٗا لَّقَدۡ جِئۡتُمُونَا كَمَا خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةِۭۚ بَلۡ زَعَمۡتُمۡ أَلَّن نَّجۡعَلَ لَكُم مَّوۡعِدٗا ٤٨

Wa ʿuriḍū ʿalā rabbika ṣaffal laqad jiʾtumūnā kamā khalaqnākum awwala marrah, bal zaʿamtum allan najʿala lakum mawʿidā.

And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], "You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment."

إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّآ ءَاتِي ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَبۡدٗا ٩٣

In kullu man fis-samāwāti wal-arḍi illā ātir-raḥmāni ʿabdā.

There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.

وَكُلُّهُمۡ ءَاتِيهِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فَرۡدًا ٩٥

Wa kulluhum ātīhi yawmal-qiyāmati fardā.

And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.

يَوۡمَ يَبۡعَثُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ جَمِيعٗا فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوٓاْۚ أَحۡصَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ وَنَسُوهُۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ ٦

Yawma yabʿathuhumullāhu jamīʿan fayunabbiʾuhum bimā ʿamilū, aḥṣāhullāhu wa nasūh, wallāhu ʿalā kulli shayʾin shahīd.

On the Day when Allāh will resurrect them all and inform them of what they did. Allāh had enumerated it, while they forgot it; and Allāh is, over all things, Witness.¹

يَوۡمَ يَجۡمَعُكُمۡ لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡجَمۡعِۖ ذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمُ ٱلتَّغَابُنِۗ وَمَن يُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ وَيَعۡمَلۡ صَٰلِحٗا يُكَفِّرۡ عَنۡهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِۦ وَيُدۡخِلۡهُ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ٩

Yawma yajmaʿukum liyawmil-jamʿ, dhālika yawmut-taghābun, wa may yuʾmim billāhi wa yaʿmal ṣāliḥay yukaffir ʿanhu sayyiʾātihī wa yudkhilhu jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru khālidīna fīhā abadā, dhālikal-fawzul-ʿaẓīm.

The Day He will assemble you for the Day of Assembly - that is the Day of Deprivation.¹ And whoever believes in Allāh and does righteousness - He will remove from him his misdeeds and admit him to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment.

أَوۡ كَٱلَّذِي مَرَّ عَلَىٰ قَرۡيَةٖ وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا قَالَ أَنَّىٰ يُحۡيِۦ هَٰذِهِ ٱللَّهُ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۖ فَأَمَاتَهُ ٱللَّهُ مِاْئَةَ عَامٖ ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُۥۖ قَالَ كَمۡ لَبِثۡتَۖ قَالَ لَبِثۡتُ يَوۡمًا أَوۡ بَعۡضَ يَوۡمٖۖ قَالَ بَل لَّبِثۡتَ مِاْئَةَ عَامٖ فَٱنظُرۡ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِكَ وَشَرَابِكَ لَمۡ يَتَسَنَّهۡۖ وَٱنظُرۡ إِلَىٰ حِمَارِكَ وَلِنَجۡعَلَكَ ءَايَةٗ لِّلنَّاسِۖ وَٱنظُرۡ إِلَى ٱلۡعِظَامِ كَيۡفَ نُنشِزُهَا ثُمَّ نَكۡسُوهَا لَحۡمٗاۚ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُۥ قَالَ أَعۡلَمُ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ ٢٥٩

Or [consider such an example] as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. He said, "How will Allāh bring this to life after its death?" So Allāh caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him. He said, "How long have you remained?" He [the man] said, "I have remained a day or part of a day." He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years. Look at your food and your drink; it has not changed with time. And look at your donkey; and We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones [of this donkey] - how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh." And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allāh is over all things competent."

وَإِذۡ قَالَ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمُ رَبِّ أَرِنِي كَيۡفَ تُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰۖ قَالَ أَوَلَمۡ تُؤۡمِنۖ قَالَ بَلَىٰ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَطۡمَئِنَّ قَلۡبِيۖ قَالَ فَخُذۡ أَرۡبَعَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلطَّيۡرِ فَصُرۡهُنَّ إِلَيۡكَ ثُمَّ ٱجۡعَلۡ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ جَبَلٖ مِّنۡهُنَّ جُزۡءٗا ثُمَّ ٱدۡعُهُنَّ يَأۡتِينَكَ سَعۡيٗاۚ وَٱعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٞ ٢٦٠

And [mention] when Abraham said, "My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead." [Allāh] said, "Have you not believed?" He said, "Yes, but [I ask] only that my heart may be satisfied." [Allāh] said, "Take four birds and commit them to yourself.¹ Then [after slaughtering them] put on each hill a portion of them; then call them - they will come [flying] to you in haste. And know that Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise."
