Truly you [people] love this fleeting world and neglect the life to
come. On that Day there will be radiant faces, looking towards their Lord, and
on that Day there will be the sad and despairing faces of those who realize
that a great calamity is about to befall them. Truly, when the soul reaches the
collarbone; when it is said, ‘Could any charm-healer save him now?’ when he
knows it is the final parting; when his legs are brought together: on that day
he will be driven towards your Lord. He neither believed nor prayed, but denied
the truth and turned away, walking back to his people with a conceited swagger.
Closer and closer it comes to you. Closer and closer still… Does the human
think he will be left alone? Was he not just a drop of spilt-out sperm, which became
a clinging form, which God shaped in due proportion, fashioning from it the two
sexes, male and female? Does He who can do this not have the power to bring the
dead back to life?
[Surah Qiyamah - Chapter 75, Verses 20-40]
