Qaf

Quran Text — Qaf

50:1 Qaf. By the glorious Quran.

50:2 They marvel that a warner has emerged from their midst. The unbelievers exclaim, “This is a strange thing.

50:3 When we have died and become dust? That is a far return.”

50:4 We know what the earth diminishes from them, and we have a preserving Book.

50:5 They’ve denied the truth when it came to them; thus, they are in a state of confusion.

50:6 Didn’t they observe the sky above them—how We constructed it, decorated it, and it has no cracks?

50:7 And the Earth—we expanded it, and placed upon it firm mountains, and made everything on it grow in a balanced way.

50:8 Insight and a reminder for every devoted servant.

50:9 And We send down from the sky blessed water, with which We produce gardens and grains of harvest.

50:10 And tall palm trees with clusters of dates.

50:11 This sustenance is for humankind. And with it, We revive barren land. Similarly, will be the resurrection.

50:12 Before them, the people of Noah, the residents of Ar-Rass, and Thamud denied the truth.

50:13 So did Aad, Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot.

50:14 The inhabitants of the Forest and the people of Tubba also rejected the messengers. So My promise was justified.

50:15 Were We exhausted by the first creation? Yet they are in confusion about a new creation.

50:16 We created man, and We know what his soul whispers to him. We are closer to him than his jugular vein.

50:17 As the two receivers receive, seated on the right and left.

50:18 Every word he utters is noted by a vigilant scribe nearby.

50:19 The stupor of death arrives: “This is what you attempted to evade.”

50:20 And the trumpet will be blown. This is the Day of Promise.

50:21 And every soul will come, with it an usher and a witness.

50:22 “You were neglectful of this, so We’ve removed your veil, and your sight today is iron.”

50:23 And his companion will say, “This is what’s with me, prepared.”

50:24 “Throw in Hell every stubborn unbeliever.

50:25 Obstructor of good, aggressor, doubter.

50:26 Who set up another god alongside Allah, so throw him into severe suffering.”

50:27 His attendant will say, “Our Lord, I didn’t make him transgress, but he was far astray.”

50:28 He will say, “Don’t feud in my presence—I had already given you the warning.

50:29 My word cannot be changed, and I am not unjust to the beings.”

50:30 On that Day, We will ask Hell, “Are you filled?” And it will reply, “Are there still more?”

50:31 And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far away.

50:32 “This is what you were promised—for every penitent preserver.

50:33 Who revered the Most Merciful in secret and came with a repentant heart.

50:34 Enter it in peace and security. This is the Day of Eternity.”

50:35 For them there is whatever they wish therein, and with Us is even more.

50:36 How many generations, stronger than them, did We destroy before them? They explored the lands—was there any escape?

50:37 In this, there is a lesson for whoever has a heart, who listens attentively and bears witness.

50:38 We created the heavens, the earth, and everything between them in six periods, and no fatigue touched Us.

50:39 Patiently endure what they say, and glorify the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting.

50:40 And exalt Him during the night, and after the prostrations.

50:41 And listen on the Day when the caller calls from a place nearby.

50:42 The Day when they will hear the blast in truth, that is the Day of Emergence.

50:43 It’s We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination.

50:44 The Day when the earth will crack open before them, hastening forth. That gathering is easy for Us.

50:45 We are better informed about what they say, and you’re not a tyrant over them. But remind with the Quran whoever fears My warning.
