Translation of Verse 31-40

(75:31) So (the denier of the Hereafter) neither believed, nor prayed

(75:32) but rejected the truth and turned away (from it)

(75:33) then he went to his home, puffed up with pride

(75:34) (It will be said to such a man,) Woe to you, then woe to you

(75:35) Again, woe to you, then woe to you

(75:36) Does man presume that he will be left unchecked

(75:37) Was he not an ejaculated drop of semen

(75:38) Then he became a clot of blood, then He created (him) and made (him) perfect

(75:39) and made from him two kinds, male and female

(75:40) Has He no power to give life to the dead

Can it be imagined that the Supreme Being in whose controlling power is death and life and the entire world is not able to bring the dead to life? The Holy Prophet is reported to have said: 'When anyone recites this verse of Surah Al-Qiyamah, he should say:

بلی وانا علی ذالک من الشھدین۔ "Yes indeed I am among those who bear witness

that He has the power to do it"'. The same Hadith narrative states that

when a person recites Surah Tin and reaches the verse اَلَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَحْكَمِ الْحٰكِمِيْنَ 'Is Allah not the Greatest Ruler of all the rulers? [ 95:8] ', he should utter the same words. The same Hadith states that when a person recites Surah Al-Mursalat and reaches the verse U ;'Now, in which discourse, after this, will they believe? [ 77:50] ', he should say فَبِاَيِّ حَدِيْثٍۢ بَعْدَهٗ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ 'I believe in Allah'
