In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent,
the Merciful.
[50.1]
Qaf.
I swear by the glorious Quran (that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
)
[50.2]
Nay!
they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves,
so the unbelievers say:
This is a wonderful thing:
[50.3]
What!
when we are dead and have become dust?
That is afar (from probable) return.
[50.4]
We know indeed what the earth diminishes of them,
and with Us is a writing that preserves.
[50.5]
Nay,
they rejected the truth when it came to them,
so they are (now) in a state of confusion.
[50.6]
Do they not then look up to heaven above them how We have made it and adorned it and it has no gaps?
[50.7]
And the earth,
We have made it plain and cast in it mountains and We have made to grow therein of all beautiful kinds,
[50.8]
To give sight and as a reminder to every servant who turns frequently (to Allah).
[50.9]
And We send down from the cloud water abounding in good,
then We cause to grow thereby gardens and the grain that is reaped,
[50.10]
And the tall palm-trees having spadices closely set one above another,
[50.11]
A sustenance for the servants,
and We give life thereby to a dead land;
thus is the rising.
[50.12]
(Others) before them rejected (prophets):
the people of Nuh and the dwellers of Ar-Rass and Samood,
[50.13]
And Ad and Firon and Lut's brethren,
[50.14]
And the dwellers of the grove and the people of Tuba;
all rejected the apostles,
so My threat came to pass.
[50.15]
Were We then fatigued with the first creation?
Yet are they in doubt with regard to a new creation.
[50.16]
And certainly We created man,
and We know what his mind suggests to him,
and We are nearer to him than his life-vein.
[50.17]
When the two receivers receive,
sitting on the right and on the left.
[50.18]
He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher at hand.
[50.19]
And the stupor of death will come in truth;
that is what you were trying to escape.
[50.20]
And the trumpet shall be blown;
that is the day of the threatening.
[50.21]
And every soul shall come,
with it a driver and a witness.
[50.22]
Certainly you were heedless of it,
but now We have removed from you your veil,
so your sight today is sharp.
[50.23]
And his companions shall say:
This is what is ready with me.
[50.24]
Do cast into hell every ungrateful,
rebellious one,
[50.25]
Forbidder of good,
exceeder of limits,
doubter,
[50.26]
Who sets up another god with Allah,
so do cast him into severe chastisement.
[50.27]
His companion will say:
Our Lord!
I did not lead him into inordinacy but he himself was in a great error.
[50.28]
He will say:
Do not quarrel in My presence,
and indeed I gave you the threatening beforehand:
[50.29]
My word shall not be changed,
nor am I in the least unjust to the servants.
[50.30]
On the day that We will say to hell:
Are you filled up?
And it will say:
Are there any more?
[50.31]
And the garden shall be brought near to those who guard (against evil),
not far off:
[50.32]
This is what you were promised,
(it is) for every one who turns frequently (to Allah),
keeps (His limits);
[50.33]
Who fears the Beneficent God in secret and comes with a penitent heart:
[50.34]
Enter it in peace,
that is the day of abiding.
[50.35]
They have therein what they wish and with Us is more yet.
[50.36]
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?
[50.37]
Most surely there is a reminder in this for him who has a heart or he gives ear and is a witness.
[50.38]
And certainly We created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six periods and there touched Us not any fatigue.
[50.39]
Therefore be patient of what they say,
and sing the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting.
[50.40]
And glorify Him in the night and after the prayers.
[50.41]
And listen on the day when the crier shall cry from a near place
[50.42]
The day when they shall hear the cry in truth;
that is the day of coming forth.
[50.43]
Surely We give life and cause to die,
and to Us is the eventual coming;
[50.44]
The day on which the earth shall cleave asunder under them,
they will make haste;
that is a gathering together easy to Us.
[50.45]
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.
