75:25Page 578

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٞ ٢٥

Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.

75:26Page 578

كـَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِيَ ٢٦

75:31Page 578

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ٣١

And he [i.e., the disbeliever] had not believed, nor had he prayed.

75:32Page 578

وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ٣٢

But [instead], he denied and turned away.

75:33Page 578

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ ٣٣

75:36Page 578

أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتۡرَكَ سُدًى ٣٦

Does man think that he will be left neglected?¹

75:37Page 578

أَلَمۡ يَكُ نُطۡفَةٗ مِّن مَّنِيّٖ يُمۡنَىٰ ٣٧

75:38Page 578

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ٣٨

Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allāh] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

75:39Page 578

فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ ٣٩

And made of him two mates, the male and the female.

75:40Page 578

أَلَيۡسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحۡـِۧيَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ ٤٠

Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
