| Surah 50. Qaf | |||
| 1 | Qaf. By the glorious Qur’an, | ||
| 2 | Nay, but they marvel that a warner of their own hath come unto them; and the disbelievers say: This is a strange thing: | ||
| 3 | When we are dead and have become dust ( shall we be brought back again )? That would be a far return! | ||
| 4 | We know that which the earth taketh of them, and with Us is a recording Book. | ||
| 5 | Nay, but they have denied the truth when it came unto them, therefor they are now in troubled case. | ||
| 6 | Have they not then observed the sky above them, how We have constructed it and beautified it, and how there are no rifts therein? | ||
| 7 | And the earth have We spread out, and have flung firm hills therein, and have caused of every lovely kind to grow thereon, | ||
| 8 | A vision and a reminder for every penitent slave. | ||
| 9 | And We send down from the sky blessed water whereby We give growth unto gardens and the grain of crops, | ||
| 10 | And lofty date palms with ranged clusters, | ||
| 11 | Provision ( made ) for men; and therewith We quicken a dead land. Even so will be the resurrection of the dead. | ||
| 12 | The folk of Noah denied ( the truth ) before them, and ( so did ) the dwellers at Ar Kass and ( the tribe of ) Thamud, | ||
| 13 | And ( the tribe of ) Aad, and Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot, | ||
| 14 | And the dwellers in the wood, and the folk of Tubba: every one denied their messengers, therefor My threat took effect. | ||
| 15 | Were We then worn out by the first creation? Yet they are in doubt about a new creation. | ||
| 16 | We verily created a man and We know what his soul whispereth to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein. | ||
| 17 | When the two Receivers receive ( him ), seated on the right hand and on the left, | ||
| 18 | He uttereth no word but there is with him an observer ready. | ||
| 19 | And the agony of death cometh in truth. ( And it is said unto him ): This is that which thou wast wont to shun. | ||
| 20 | And the trumpet is blown. This is the threatened Day. | ||
| 21 | And every soul cometh, along with it a driver and a witness | ||
| 22 | ( And unto the evil doer it is said ): Thou wast in heedlessness of this. Now We have removed from thee thy covering, and piercing is thy sight this day. | ||
| 23 | And ( unto the evil doer ) his comrade saith: This is that which I have ready ( as testimony ). | ||
| 24 | ( And it is said ): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate, | ||
| 25 | Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter, | ||
| 26 | Who setteth up another god along with Allah. Do ye twain hurl him to the dreadful doom. | ||
| 27 | His comrade saith: Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel, but be was ( himself ) far gone in error. | ||
| 28 | He saith: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered unto you the warning. | ||
| 29 | The sentence that cometh from Me cannot be changed, and I am in no wise a tyrant unto the slaves. | ||
| 30 | On the day when We say unto hell: Art thou filled? and it saith: Can there be more to come? | ||
| 31 | And the Garden is brought nigh for those who kept from evil, no longer distant. | ||
| 32 | ( And it is said ): That is that which ye were promised. ( It is ) for every penitent and heedful one, | ||
| 33 | Who feareth the Beneficent in secret and cometh with a contrite heart. | ||
| 34 | Enter it in peace. This is the day of immortality. | ||
| 35 | There they have all that they desire, and there is more with Us. | ||
| 36 | And how many a generation We destroyed before them, who were mightier than these in prowess so that they overran the lands! Had they any place of refuge ( when the judgment came )? | ||
| 37 | Lo! therein verily is a reminder for him who hath a heart, or giveth ear with full intelligence.. | ||
| 38 | And verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six days, and naught of weariness touched Us. | ||
| 39 | Therefor ( O Muhammad ) bear with what they say: and hymn the praise of thy Lord before the rising and before the setting of the sun; | ||
| 40 | And in the night time hymn His praise: And after the ( prescribed ) prostrations. | ||
| 41 | And listen on the day when the crier crieth from a near place, | ||
| 42 | The day when they will hear the ( Awful ) Cry in truth That is the day of coming forth ( from the graves ). | ||
| 43 | Lo! We it is Who quicken and give death, and unto Us is the journeying. | ||
| 44 | On the day when the earth splitteth asunder from them, hastening forth ( they come ). That is a gathering easy for Us ( to make ). | ||
| 45 | We are best aware of what they say, and thou ( O Muhammad ) art in no wise a compeller over them. But warn by the Qur’an him who feareth My threat. | ||
