> Surah 50
> 
> Qaf
> 
> In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
> 
> 1.  Qaf.  By the Glorious Qur'an (Thou art Allah's Messenger).
> 
> 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 messengers, 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 overawe them by force.  So admonish with the Qur'an such as fear My Warning!
