Qâf

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[50:1]

Qaf. By the Glorious Qur’an,

[50:2]

Nay, but they marvel that a warner of their own hath come unto them; and the disbelievers say: This is a strange thing:

[50:3]

When we are dead and have become dust (shall we be brought back again) ? That would be a far return!

[50:4]

We know that which the earth taketh of them, and with Us is a recording Book.

[50:5]

Nay, but they have denied the truth when it came unto them, therefor they are now in troubled case.

[50:6]

Have they not then observed the sky above them, how We have constructed it and beautified it, and how there are no rifts therein ?

[50:7]

And the earth have We spread out, and have flung firm hills therein, and have caused of every lovely kind to grow thereon,

[50:8]

A vision and a reminder for every penitent slave.

[50:9]

And We send down from the sky blessed water whereby We give growth unto gardens and the grain of crops,

[50:10]

And lofty date-palms with ranged clusters,

[50:11]

Provision (made) for men; and therewith We quicken a dead land. Even so will be the resurrection of the dead.

[50:12]

The folk of Noah denied (the truth) before them, and (so did) the dwellers at Ar-Rass and (the tribe of) Thamud,

[50:13]

And (the tribe of) A’ad, and Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot,

[50:14]

And the dwellers in the wood, and the folk of Tubb’a: every one denied their messengers, therefor My threat took effect.

[50:15]

Were We then worn out by the first creation ? Yet they are in doubt about a new creation.
