| 50 ) Qaaf | |||
| 1 | Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'an ( Thou art Allah's Apostle ). | ||
| 2 | But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves. So the Unbelievers say: " This is a wonderful thing! | ||
| 3 | " What! when we die and become dust ( shall we live again? ). That is a ( sort of ) Return far ( from our understanding ). " | ||
| 4 | We already know how much of them the earth takes away: with Us is a Record guarding ( the full account ). | ||
| 5 | But they deny the truth when it comes to them: So they are in a confused state. | ||
| 6 | Do they not look at the sky above them? How We have made it and adorned it and there are no flaws in it?. | ||
| 7 | And the earth-We have spread it out and set thereon mountains standing firm and produced therein every kind of beautiful growth ( in pairs ) | ||
| 8 | To be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning ( to Allah ). | ||
| 9 | And We send down from the sky Rain charged with blessing and We produce therewith Gardens and Grain for harvests; | ||
| 10 | And tall ( and stately ) palm-trees with shoots of fruit-stalks piled one over another | ||
| 11 | As sustenance for ( Allah's ) Servants; and We give ( new ) life therewith to land that is dead: Thus will be the Resurrection. | ||
| 12 | Before them was denied ( the Hereafter ) by the people of Noah the Companions of the Rass the Thamud. | ||
| 13 | The 'Ad Pharaoh the Brethren of Lut. | ||
| 14 | The companions of the Wood and the people of Tubba; each one ( of them ) rejected the apostles and My warning was duly fulfilled ( in them ). | ||
| 15 | Were We then weary with the first Creation that they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation?. | ||
| 16 | It was We who created man and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than ( his ) jugular vein. | ||
| 17 | Behold two ( guardian angels ) appointed to learn ( his doings ) learn ( and not them ) one sitting on the right and one on the left. | ||
| 18 | Not a word does he utter but there is a sentinel by him ready ( to note it ). | ||
| 19 | And the stupor of death will bring truth ( before his eyes ): " This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape! " | ||
| 20 | And the Trumpet shall be blown: that will be the Day whereof warning ( had been given ). | ||
| 21 | And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an ( angel ) to drive and an ( angel ) to bear witness. | ||
| 22 | ( It will be said: ) " Thou wast heedless of this; now have We removed thy veil and sharp is thy sight this Day! " | ||
| 23 | And his companion will say: " Here is ( his record ) ready with me! " | ||
| 24 | ( The sentence will be: ) " Throw throw into Hell every contumacious Rejector ( of Allah )! | ||
| 25 | " Who forbade what was good transgressed all bounds cast doubts and suspicions; | ||
| 26 | " Who set up another god besides Allah: throw him into a severe Penalty. " | ||
| 27 | His companion will say: " Our Lord! I did not make him transgress but he was ( himself ) far astray. " | ||
| 28 | He will say: " Dispute not with each other in My Presence: I had already in advance sent you Warning. | ||
| 29 | " The Word changes not before Me and I do not the least injustice to My Servants. " | ||
| 30 | One Day We will ask Hell " art thou filled to the full? " It will say " are there any more ( to come )? " | ||
| 31 | And the Garden will be brought nigh to the righteous no more a thing distant. | ||
| 32 | ( A voice will say: ) " This is what was promised for you for everyone who turned ( to Allah ) in sincere repentance who kept ( his law ). | ||
| 33 | " Who feared ( Allah ) Most Gracious unseen and brought a heart turned in devotion ( to Him ): | ||
| 34 | " Enter ye therein in Peace and Security; this is a Day of Eternal Life! " | ||
| 35 | There will be for them therein all that they wish and more besides in Our Presence. | ||
| 36 | But how many generations before them did We destroy ( for their Sins ) stronger in power than they? Then did they wander through the land: Was there any place of escape ( for them )?. | ||
| 37 | Verily in this is a Message for any that has a heart and understanding or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses ( the truth ). | ||
| 38 | We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days nor did any sense of weariness touch Us. | ||
| 39 | Bear then with patience all that they say and celebrate the praises of thy Lord before the rising of the sun and before ( its ) setting. | ||
| 40 | And during part of the night ( also ) celebrate His praises and ( so likewise ) after the postures of adoration. | ||
| 41 | And listen for the Day when the Caller will call out from a place quite near | ||
| 42 | The day when they will hear a ( mighty ) Blast in ( very ) truth ): that will be the day of Resurrection. | ||
| 43 | Verily it is We Who give Life and Death; and to Us is the Final Goal-. | ||
| 44 | The Day when the Earth will be rent asunder from ( men ) hurrying out: that will be a gathering together quite easy for Us. | ||
| 45 | We know best what they say; and thou art not one to ever awe them by force. So admonish with the Qur'an such as fear My Warning! | ||
