50 Qaaf -Qaaf

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful

[50.1] Qaaf. By the Glorious Koran!

[50.2] No, but they marvel that from among themselves a warner has come to them. The unbelievers say (in mockery): 'This is a marvelous thing!

[50.3] What, when we are dead and turned to dust? That indeed would be an unlikely return! '

[50.4] We know all that the earth takes away of them, and a Book of Records is with Us.

[50.5] Rather, they belied the truth when it came to them, and now they are in a state of confusion.

[50.6] What, have they never observed the heaven above them, (and seen) how We built and adorned it, leaving no crack?

[50.7] We spread out the earth and set upon it firm mountains, and We cause every delightful thing to grow in it

[50.8] as a lesson and a reminder to every penitent worshiper.

[50.9] We sent down blessed water from the sky with which We caused gardens and the grains of harvest to grow, 10 and tall palmtrees with compact spathes

[50.11] as a provision for the worshipers; thereby We revived a land that was dead. Such shall be the emerging.

[50.12] Before them, the nation of Noah, the nation of ArRass belied and so did Thamood

[50.13] and Aad, Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot,

[50.14] the dwellers of the Thicket and the nation of Tubba', all belied their Messengers, therefore My threat was realized.

[50.15] What, were We wearied by the first creation? No, indeed; yet they are in doubt about a new creation.

[50.16] Indeed, We created the human. We know the whisperings of his soul, and are closer to him than the jugular vein.

[50.17] When both receivers (the angels) receive, one on his right, the other on his left,

[50.18] whatever phrase he utters, an observer is present.

[50.19] And when the agony of death comes in truth (they will say): 'This is what you have been trying to avoid! '

[50.20] And the Horn shall be blown; that is the Day of Threat!

[50.21] Each soul shall come with a driver, and a witness.

[50.22] (It will be said): 'Of this you have been heedless. Therefore, we have now removed your covering. Today your sight is sharp. '

[50.23] And his companion will say: 'This is that which I have present. '

[50.24] (It will be said): 'Indeed, cast into Gehenna (Hell) every deviating unbeliever,

[50.25] forbidder of good, transgressor and doubter,

[50.26] who has set up with Allah another god. Indeed, you two, cast him into the terrible punishment. '

[50.27] And his companion shall say: 'Our Lord, I did not make him insolent, he was far astray. '

[50.28] He (Allah) will say: 'Do not dispute before Me. I sent you a warning beforehand.

[50.29] The Word cannot be changed with Me; I do not wrong My worshipers. '

[50.30] On that Day We shall ask Gehenna: 'Are you full? ' And it will answer: 'Are there any more? '

[50.31] And Paradise, which is not far away, shall be brought closer to those who were cautious.

[50.32] (It shall be said to them): 'This is that you were promised. It is for every heeding penitent.

[50.33] Whosoever fears the Merciful in the Unseen, and comes with a contrite heart.

[50.34] Enter it in peace. This is the Day of Eternity! '

[50.35] There they have all that they desire, and with Us is much more.

[50.36] How many generations, stronger in might than they have We destroyed before them! They searched the land, could they find any asylum?

[50.37] Surely, in this there is a Reminder for he who has a heart or listens attentively while witnessing.

[50.38] In six days We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them and no weariness touched Us!

[50.39] Bear then with patience what they say. Exalt with the praise of your Lord before sunrise and before sunset.

[50.40] And exalt Him in the night, and at the ends of the prostrations.

[50.41] Listen for the Day when the Caller will call from a nearby place.

[50.42] On the Day when they will hear the Shout, in truth that Day they will emerge.

[50. 43] It is We who give life and make to die. To Us is the arrival.

[50.44] Upon that Day the earth will be rent asunder from around them as they hurry forth that is an easy gathering for Us.

[50.45] Indeed, We know what they say. You (Prophet Muhammad) are not a tyrant over them. Therefore, remind by the Koran whosoever fears (My) threat.
