English - Chapter 50 - Qaf

Q, and the Quran of glory

Are they surprised that a warner has come to them from amongst them, so the rejecters said: "This is something strange

Can it be that when we are dead and we become dust, that we come back later

We know which of them has become consumed with the Earth; and We have with Us a record which keeps track

But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused state

Did they not look to the sky above them, how We built it, and adorned it, and how it has no openings

And the land We extended it, and placed in it stabilizers, and We gave growth in it to every kind of healthy pair

Something to see and a reminder for every pious servant

And We sent down from the sky blessed water, and We gave growth with it to gardens and grain that is harvested

And the palm trees, emerging with clustering fruit

A provision for the servants, and We gave life with it to the land which was dead. Such is the resurrection

Before their denial was that of the people of Noah, and the dwellers of Al-Raas, and Thamud

And 'Aad, and Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot

And the people of the forest, and the people of Tubba`. All of them disbelieved the messengers, so the promise came to pass

Did We have any difficulty in making the first creation No, they are in confusion about the next creation

And We have created man and We know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than his jugular vein

When the two receivers meet on the right and on the left

He does not utter a word except with having a constant recorder

And the moment of death came in truth: "This is what you have been trying to avoid

And the horn is blown on the promised Day

You were heedless of this, so now We have removed your veil, and your sight today is iron

And his constant companion said: "Here is one who is a transgressor

Cast in Hell every stubborn rejecter

Denier of good, transgressor, doubter

The one who made with God another god. So cast him into the severe retribution

His constant companion said: "Our Lord, I did not corrupt him, but he was already far astray

He said: "Do not argue with each other before Me, I have already presented you with My promise

The sentence will not be changed with Me, and I do not wrong the servants

The Day We say to Hell: "Are you full", and it says: "I can take more

And Paradise is brought near to the righteous, not far off

This is what you have been promised, for every obedient, steadfast

The one who feared the Almighty while unseen, and came with a repenting heart

Enter it in peace. This is the Day of eternal life

In it they will have what they wish, and We have even more

And how many a generation before them have We destroyed They were stronger in power, and they had dominated the land. Did they find any sanctuary

In that is a reminder for whoever has a heart, or cares to listen while he is heedful

And We have created the heavens and the Earth and what is between them in six days, and no fatigue touched Us

So be patient to what they are saying, and glorify the grace of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting

And from the night glorify Him, and after prostrating

And listen to the Day when the caller will call from a near place

The Day they hear the scream with truth. That is the Day of coming out

We are the Ones who give life and bring death, and to Us is the destiny

The Day when the Earth will rapidly crumble away from them; that will be a gathering which is easy for Us

We are totally aware of what they say, and you are not to be a tyrant over them. So remind with the Quran those who fear My promise
