Translation of the Holy Koran by Shakir
 
Sura 50 Aya 1 to 45
 
  1   [ 50: 1 ] Qaf. I swear by the glorious Quran ( that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah )
  2   [ 50: 2 ] Nay! they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, so the unbelievers say: This is a wonderful thing:
  3   [ 50: 3 ] What! when we are dead and have become dust? That is afar ( from probable ) return.
  4   [ 50: 4 ] We know indeed what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a writing that preserves.
  5   [ 50: 5 ] Nay, they rejected the truth when it came to them, so they are ( now ) in a state of confusion.
  6   [ 50: 6 ] Do they not then look up to heaven above them how We have made it and adorned it and it has no gaps?
  7   [ 50: 7 ] And the earth, We have made it plain and cast in it mountains and We have made to grow therein of all beautiful kinds,
  8   [ 50: 8 ] To give sight and as a reminder to every servant who turns frequently ( to Allah ).
  9   [ 50: 9 ] And We send down from the cloud water abounding in good, then We cause to grow thereby gardens and the grain that is reaped,
  10   [ 50: 10 ] And the tall palm-trees having spadices closely set one above another,
  11   [ 50: 11 ] A sustenance for the servants, and We give life thereby to a dead land; thus is the rising.
  12   [ 50: 12 ] ( Others ) before them rejected ( prophets ): the people of Nuh and the dwellers of Ar-Rass and Samood,
  13   [ 50: 13 ] And Ad and Firon and Lut's brethren,
  14   [ 50: 14 ] And the dwellers of the grove and the people of Tuba; all rejected the messengers, so My threat came to pass.
  15   [ 50: 15 ] Were We then fatigued with the first creation? Yet are they in doubt with regard to a new creation.
  16   [ 50: 16 ] And certainly We created man, and We know what his mind suggests to him, and We are nearer to him than his life-vein.
  17   [ 50: 17 ] When the two receivers receive, sitting on the right and on the left.
  18   [ 50: 18 ] He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher at hand.
  19   [ 50: 19 ] And the stupor of death will come in truth; that is what you were trying to escape.
  20   [ 50: 20 ] And the trumpet shall be blown; that is the day of the threatening.
  21   [ 50: 21 ] And every soul shall come, with it a driver and a witness.
  22   [ 50: 22 ] Certainly you were heedless of it, but now We have removed from you your veil, so your sight today is sharp.
  23   [ 50: 23 ] And his companions shall say: This is what is ready with me.
  24   [ 50: 24 ] Do cast into hell every ungrateful, rebellious one,
  25   [ 50: 25 ] Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter,
  26   [ 50: 26 ] Who sets up another god with Allah, so do cast him into severe chastisement.
  27   [ 50: 27 ] His companion will say: Our Lord! I did not lead him into inordinacy but he himself was in a great error.
  28   [ 50: 28 ] He will say: Do not quarrel in My presence, and indeed I gave you the threatening beforehand:
  29   [ 50: 29 ] My word shall not be changed, nor am I in the least unjust to the servants.
  30   [ 50: 30 ] On the day that We will say to hell: Are you filled up? And it will say: Are there any more?
  31   [ 50: 31 ] And the garden shall be brought near to those who guard ( against evil ), not far off:
  32   [ 50: 32 ] This is what you were promised, ( it is ) for every one who turns frequently ( to Allah ), keeps ( His limits );
  33   [ 50: 33 ] Who fears the Beneficent Allah in secret and comes with a penitent heart:
  34   [ 50: 34 ] Enter it in peace, that is the day of abiding.
  35   [ 50: 35 ] They have therein what they wish and with Us is more yet.
  36   [ 50: 36 ] And how many a generation did We destroy before them who were mightier in prowess than they, so they went about and about in the lands. Is there a place of refuge?
  37   [ 50: 37 ] Most surely there is a reminder in this for him who has a heart or he gives ear and is a witness.
  38   [ 50: 38 ] And certainly We created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six periods and there touched Us not any fatigue.
  39   [ 50: 39 ] Therefore be patient of what they say, and sing the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting.
  40   [ 50: 40 ] And glorify Him in the night and after the prayers.
  41   [ 50: 41 ] And listen on the day when the crier shall cry from a near place
  42   [ 50: 42 ] The day when they shall hear the cry in truth; that is the day of coming forth.
  43   [ 50: 43 ] Surely We give life and cause to die, and to Us is the eventual coming;
  44   [ 50: 44 ] The day on which the earth shall cleave asunder under them, they will make haste; that is a gathering together easy to Us.
  45   [ 50: 45 ] We know best what they say, and you are not one to compel them; therefore remind him by means of the Quran who fears My threat.
