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?

- An Introduction to the Sciences of HadithThe Muslims in general believe that the Qur'an has been preserved intact and pure by Allah Himself. But what is often forgotten by many is that this preservation necessarily includes the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (S), the practical example of the implementation of the Qur'an. Hadith is Sunnah in record. How the immense wealth of Hadith literature has been left to us by the Muhaddiths (scholars of Hadith) is an extremely wide, complex study. We publish this short treatise on "the science of Hadith" by the learned Suhaib Hasan with English readers in mind. It is part of our scheme to introduce various aspects of Islam to English readers. May Allah accept it as a good work.

- Al-Adab Al-MufradTranslated from the original Arabic into English, provides a vivid insight into the moral conduct of the early Muslims in a society led by the perfect character of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ('I was only sent to perfect good character'). The Prophet's Companions represent excellent examples of men of vigorous moral stature whose conduct inspired and attracted the masses to the fold of Islam wherever they went during the expansion of the Muslim territories, and contrary to the stereotypic portrayal, in the West, of Islam as being spread by the sword.
