| 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. |
