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. | |
