۞ قُل يَتَوَفّىٰكُم مَلَكُ المَوتِ الَّذى وُكِّلَ بِكُم ثُمَّ إِلىٰ رَبِّكُم تُرجَعونَ
Say, "The angel of death will take you who has been entrusted with you. Then to your Lord you will be returned
وَما يَستَوِى الأَحياءُ وَلَا الأَموٰتُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُسمِعُ مَن يَشاءُ ۖ وَما أَنتَ بِمُسمِعٍ مَن فِى القُبورِ
And not equal are the living and the dead. Indeed, Allah causes to hear whom He wills, but you cannot make hear those in the graves
وَنُفِخَ فِى الصّورِ فَإِذا هُم مِنَ الأَجداثِ إِلىٰ رَبِّهِم يَنسِلونَ
And the Horn will be blown; and at once from the graves to their Lord they will hasten
وَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا أَءِذا كُنّا تُرٰبًا وَءاباؤُنا أَئِنّا لَمُخرَجونَ
And those who disbelieve say, "When we have become dust as well as our forefathers, will we indeed be brought out [of the graves]
وَجاءَت سَكرَةُ المَوتِ بِالحَقِّ ۖ ذٰلِكَ ما كُنتَ مِنهُ تَحيدُ
And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid
يَومَ يَسمَعونَ الصَّيحَةَ بِالحَقِّ ۚ ذٰلِكَ يَومُ الخُروجِ
The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves]
إِنّا نَحنُ نُحيۦ وَنُميتُ وَإِلَينَا المَصيرُ
Indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination
خُشَّعًا أَبصٰرُهُم يَخرُجونَ مِنَ الأَجداثِ كَأَنَّهُم جَرادٌ مُنتَشِرٌ
Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading
نَحنُ قَدَّرنا بَينَكُمُ المَوتَ وَما نَحنُ بِمَسبوقينَ
We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
