وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ * إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ

Surah Al‑Qiyamah 75:22‑23
What Surah Al‑Qiyamah Is About
Al‑Qiyamah, “The Resurrection,” vividly describes the awe‑inspiring events of the Day when every soul will be raised, questioned, and recompensed. The surah opens with a solemn oath by the Day of Resurrection, underscoring its certainty.
It then turns to the self‑reproaching soul (an‑nafs al‑lawwāmah) that acknowledges its shortcomings, and affirms Allah’s power to recreate even the minutest particle. The climax paints the faces of the believers as radiant, gazing upon their Lord — a promise of honour and closeness for those who sincerely believe in the Day of Judgement.
