Verses
Bis-millahi ar-rahman, ar-raheem.
In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful.Woe to man! What a disbeliever he is![17] Out of what Allah has created him?[18] Out of a semen-drop, Allah created him and then fashioned him in due proportion,[19] then makes his way of life smooth for him,[20] then causes him to die and stows him in a grave.[21] Then He will surely bring him back to life when He pleases.[22] By no means has he fulfilled the duty that Allah had assigned him.[23] Let man reflect on the food he eats,[24] How We pour down rainwater in abundance[25] and cleave the soil asunder.[26] How We bring forth grain,[27] grapes and nutritious vegetation;[28] olives and dates,[29] lush gardens,[30] fruits and fodder,[31] as a means of sustenance for you and your cattle.[32] 80:[17-32]
Finally when there will come the deafening blast,[33] on that Day each man shall flee from his own brother,[34] his mother and his father,[35] his wife and his children.[36] For each one of them, on that Day, shall have enough concern of his own to make him indifferent to the others.[37] Some faces on that Day shall be shining,[38] smiling and joyful.[39] And some faces on that Day shall be dusty[40] and veiled with darkness.[41] These shall be the faces of the disbelieving wicked.[42] 80:[33-42]
Ameen.
