50. "Qaf"
Koran.050
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Qaf. I swear by the glorious Quran (that Muhammad is the
Apostle of Allah.)
Nay! they wonder that there has come to them a warner from
among themselves, so the unbelievers say: This is a wonderful thing:
What! when we are dead and have become dust? That is afar
(from probable) return.
We know indeed what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us
is a writing that preserves.
Nay, they rejected the truth when it came to them, so they are
(now) in a state of confusion.
Do they not then look up to heaven above them how We have
made it and adorned it and it has no gaps?
And the earth, We have made it plain and cast in it mountains
and We have made to grow therein of all beautiful kinds,
To give sight and as a reminder to every servant who turns
frequently (to Allah).
And We send down from the cloud water abounding in good,
then We cause to grow thereby gardens and the grain that is reaped,
And the tall palm-trees having spadices closely set one above
another,
A sustenance for the servants, and We give life thereby to a
dead land; thus is the rising.
(Others) before them rejected (prophets): the people of Nuh
and the dwellers of Ar-Rass and Samood,
And Ad and Firon and Lut's brethren,
And the dwellers of the grove and the people of Tuba; all
rejected the apostles, so My threat came to pass.
Were We then fatigued with the first creation? Yet are they in
doubt with regard to a new creation.
And certainly We created man, and We know what his mind
suggests to him, and We are nearer to him than his life-vein.
When the two receivers receive, sitting on the right and on the
left.
He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher at hand.
And the stupor of death will come in truth; that is what you
were trying to escape.
And the trumpet shall be blown; that is the day of the
threatening.
And every soul shall come, with it a driver and a witness.
Certainly you were heedless of it, but now We have removed
from you your veil, so your sight today is sharp.
And his companions shall say: This is what is ready with me.
Do cast into hell every ungrateful, rebellious one,
Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter,
Who sets up another god with Allah, so do cast him into severe
chastisement.
His companion will say: Our Lord! I did not lead him into
inordinacy but he himself was in a great error.
He will say: Do not quarrel in My presence, and indeed I gave
you the threatening beforehand:
My word shall not be changed, nor am I in the least unjust to
the servants.
On the day that We will say to hell: Are you filled up? And it
will say: Are there any more?
And the garden shall be brought near to those who guard
(against evil), not far off:
This is what you were promised, (it is) for every one who turns
frequently (to Allah), keeps (His limits);
Who fears the Beneficent God in secret and comes with a
penitent heart:
Enter it in peace, that is the day of abiding.
They have therein what they wish and with Us is more yet.
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?
Most surely there is a reminder in this for him who has a heart
or he gives ear and is a witness.
And certainly We created the heavens and the earth and what is
between them in six periods and there touched Us not any fatigue.
Therefore be patient of what they say, and sing the praise of
your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting.
And glorify Him in the night and after the prayers.
And listen on the day when the crier shall cry from a near place
The day when they shall hear the cry in truth; that is the day of
coming forth.
Surely We give life and cause to die, and to Us is the eventual
coming;
The day on which the earth shall cleave asunder under them,
they will make haste; that is a gathering together easy to Us.
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.
