> 50. Qaf: Qaf
> 
> 1 Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'an, 
> 
> 2 Nay, but they marvel that a warner of their own hath come unto them; and the disbelievers say: This is a strange thing: 
> 
> 3 When we are dead and have become dust (shall we be brought back again) ? That would be a far return! 
> 
> 4 We know that which the earth taketh of them, and with Us is a recording Book. 
> 
> 5 Nay, but they have denied the truth when it came unto them, therefor they are now in troubled case. 
> 
> 6 Have they not then observed the sky above them, how We have constructed it and beautified it, and how there are no rifts therein ? 
> 
> 7 And the earth have We spread out, and have flung firm hills therein, and have caused of every lovely kind to grow thereon, 
> 
> 8 A vision and a reminder for every penitent slave. 
> 
> 9 And We send down from the sky blessed water whereby We give growth unto gardens and the grain of crops, 
> 
> 10 And lofty date-palms with ranged clusters, 
> 
> 11 Provision (made) for men; and therewith We quicken a dead land. Even so will be the resurrection of the dead. 
> 
> 12 The folk of Noah denied (the truth) before them, and (so did) the dwellers at Ar-Rass and (the tribe of) Thamud, 
> 
> 13 And (the tribe of) A'ad, and Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot, 
> 
> 14 And the dwellers in the wood, and the folk of Tubb'a: every one denied their messengers, therefor My threat took effect. 
> 
> 15 Were We then worn out by the first creation ? Yet they are in doubt about a new creation. 
> 
> 16 We verily created man and We know what his soul whispereth to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein. 
> 
> 17 When the two Receivers receive (him), seated on the right hand and on the left, 
> 
> 18 He uttereth no word but there is with him an observer ready. 
> 
> 19 And the agony of death cometh in truth. (And it is said unto him): This is that which thou wast wont to shun. 
> 
> 20 And the trumpet is blown. This is the threatened Day. 
> 
> 21 And every soul cometh, along with it a driver and a witness. 
> 
> 22 (And unto the evil-doer it is said): Thou wast in heedlessness of this. Now We have removed from thee thy covering, and piercing is thy sight this day. 
> 
> 23 And (unto the evil-doer) his comrade saith: This is that which I have ready (as testimony). 
> 
> 24 (And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate, 
> 
> 25 Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter, 
> 
> 26 Who setteth up another god along with Allah. Do ye twain hurl him to the dreadful doom. 
> 
> 27 His comrade saith: Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel, but he was (himself) far gone in error. 
> 
> 28 He saith: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered unto you the warning. 
> 
> 29 The sentence that cometh from Me cannot be changed, and I am in no wise a tyrant unto the slaves. 
> 
> 30 On the day when We say unto hell: Art thou filled ? and it saith: Can there be more to come ? 
> 
> 31 And the Garden is brought nigh for those who kept from evil, no longer distant. 
> 
> 32 (And it is said): This is that which ye were promised. (It is) for every penitent and heedful one, 
> 
> 33 Who feareth the Beneficent in secret and cometh with a contrite heart. 
> 
> 34 Enter it in peace. This is the day of immortality. 
> 
> 35 There they have all that they desire, and there is more with Us. 
> 
> 36 And how many a generation We destroyed before them, who were mightier than these in prowess so that they overran the lands! Had they any place of refuge (when the judgment came) ? 
> 
> 37 Lo! therein verily is a reminder for him who hath a heart, or giveth ear with full intelligence. 
> 
> 38 And verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six Days, and naught of weariness touched Us. 
> 
> 39 Therefor (O Muhammad) bear with what they say, and hymn the praise of thy Lord before the rising and before the setting of the sun; 
> 
> 40 And in the night-time hymn His praise, and after the (prescribed) prostrations. 
> 
> 41 And listen on the day when the crier crieth from a near place, 
> 
> 42 The day when they will hear the (Awful) Cry in truth. That is the day of coming forth (from the graves). 
> 
> 43 Lo! We it is Who quicken and give death, and unto Us is the journeying. 
> 
> 44 On the day when the earth splitteth asunder from them, hastening forth (they come). That is a gathering easy for Us (to make). 
> 
> 45 We are Best Aware of what they say, and thou (O Muhammad) art in no wise a compeller over them. But warn by the Qur'an him who feareth My threat.
