8. And the moon becomes dark, |
| وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ {٩} |
9. And the sun and the moon are brought together, |
| يَقُولُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ {١٠} |
10. Man shall say on that day, "Whither can I flee for refuge?" |
| كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ {١١} |

35. Again, nearer unto you and nearer (comes the doom). |
| أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَنْ يُتْرَكَ سُدًى {٣٦} |
36. Does man think that he is to be left to wander aimless (or purposeless)? |
| أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِنْ مَنِيٍّ يُمْنَىٰ {٣٧} |
37. Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements, |
| ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ {٣٨} |
38. Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect. |
| فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ {٣٩} |
39. Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female. |
| أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَىٰ {٤٠} |
40. Is not He able to give life to the dead? |
