1 Qaf. By the glorious Quran! ق وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ
2 Indeed, they are astonished that a warner should have come to them from among themselves. So these deniers of the truth say, "This is indeed a strange thing, بَلْ عَجِبُوا أَن جَاءهُمْ مُنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ هَذَا شَيْءٌ عَجِيبٌ
3 to come back to life after we have died and become dust? That is most improbable!" أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ذَلِكَ رَجْعٌ بَعِيدٌ
4 We know very well what the earth takes away from them: We hold a book which records all things. قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ الْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ وَعِندَنَا كِتَابٌ حَفِيظٌ
5 But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a state of confusion. بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءهُمْ فَهُمْ فِي أَمْرٍ مَّرِيجٍ
6 Have they not observed the sky above them and marked how We have built it and adorned it, leaving no flaws in it; أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوا إِلَى السَّمَاء فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَاهَا وَزَيَّنَّاهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍ
7 We spread out the earth and set upon it solid mountains and We brought forth from it all kinds of delightful plants, وَالْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ بَهِيجٍ
8 as a lesson and reminder for every human being who turns to God; تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرَى لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيبٍ
9 and We have sent down from the sky blessed water with which We have brought forth gardens and grain to be harvested, وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاء مَاء مُّبَارَكًا فَأَنبَتْنَا بِهِ جَنَّاتٍ وَحَبَّ الْحَصِيدِ
10 and tall palm-trees with their thickly-clustered dates, وَالنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَاتٍ لَّهَا طَلْعٌ نَّضِيدٌ
11 as a provision for human beings; and by [all] this We bring dead land to life. Such shall be the Resurrection. رِزْقًا لِّلْعِبَادِ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا كَذَلِكَ الْخُرُوجُ
12 Before them, the people of Noah and the people of Rass denied this truth; and so did the people of Thamud. كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَأَصْحَابُ الرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ
13 And the tribe of 'Ad, and Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot, وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَانُ لُوطٍ
14 and the dwellers of the Wood, and the people of Tubba': every one denied their messengers, and so My warning came true. وَأَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ كُلٌّ كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ
15 Were We then worn out by the first creation? Yet they are in doubt about a second creation. أَفَعَيِينَا بِالْخَلْقِ الْأَوَّلِ بَلْ هُمْ فِي لَبْسٍ مِّنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ
16 We created man -- We know the promptings of his soul, and are closer to him than his jugular vein -- وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ
17 and the two recording angels are recording, sitting on the right and the left: إِذْ يَتَلَقَّى الْمُتَلَقِّيَانِ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٌ
18 each word he utters shall be noted down by a vigilant guardian. مَا يَلْفِظُ مِن قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌ
19 The trance of death will come revealing the truth: that is what you were trying to escape. وَجَاءتْ سَكْرَةُ الْمَوْتِ بِالْحَقِّ ذَلِكَ مَا كُنتَ مِنْهُ تَحِيدُ
20 The trumpet will be sounded. This is the Day [you were] warned of. وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الْوَعِيدِ
21 Each person will arrive attended by an [angel] to drive him on and another to bear witness. وَجَاءتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّعَهَا سَائِقٌ وَشَهِيدٌ
22 You were heedless of this, but now We have removed your veil, so your sight today is sharp. لَقَدْ كُنتَ فِي غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هَذَا فَكَشَفْنَا عَنكَ غِطَاءكَ فَبَصَرُكَ الْيَوْمَ حَدِيدٌ
23 His companion attendant will say, "I have here his record ready." وَقَالَ قَرِينُهُ هَذَا مَا لَدَيَّ عَتِيدٌ
24 "Cast into Hell every ungrateful, rebellious one, أَلْقِيَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ
25 hinderer of good, transgressor, causing others to doubt, مَّنَّاعٍ لِّلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ مُّرِيبٍ
26 who has set up another god besides God: cast him into severe punishment" -- الَّذِي جَعَلَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ فَأَلْقِيَاهُ فِي الْعَذَابِ الشَّدِيدِ
27 and his associate [Satan] will say, "Lord, I did not make him transgress, he had already gone far astray himself." قَالَ قَرِينُهُ رَبَّنَا مَا أَطْغَيْتُهُ وَلَكِن كَانَ فِي ضَلَالٍ بَعِيدٍ
28 God will say, "Do not quarrel in My presence. I gave you the warning beforehand قَالَ لَا تَخْتَصِمُوا لَدَيَّ وَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكُم بِالْوَعِيدِ
29 and My word shall not be changed, nor am I unjust to My servants." مَا يُبَدَّلُ الْقَوْلُ لَدَيَّ وَمَا أَنَا بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلْعَبِيدِ
30 On that Day, We shall ask Hell, "Are you now full?" Hell will answer, "Are there any more?" يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ امْتَلَأْتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِن مَّزِيدٍ
31 Paradise will be brought near to the righteous and will no longer be far away. وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ
32 This is what you were promised -- this is for everyone who often turned to God and kept Him in mind, هَذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍ
33 who fears the Compassionate One, though He is unseen, and comes to Him with a penitent heart; مَنْ خَشِيَ الرَّحْمَن بِالْغَيْبِ وَجَاء بِقَلْبٍ مُّنِيبٍ
34 so enter it in peace. This is the Day of everlasting life. ادْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَامٍ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُلُودِ
35 There they shall have all that they desire, and there is even more with Us. لَهُم مَّا يَشَاؤُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌ
36 How many a generation, far greater in prowess, have We destroyed before them! They searched the entire land: but could they find a refuge? وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًا فَنَقَّبُوا فِي الْبِلَادِ هَلْ مِن مَّحِيصٍ
37 There is truly a reminder in this for whoever has a heart, whoever listens attentively. إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَذِكْرَى لِمَن كَانَ لَهُ قَلْبٌ أَوْ أَلْقَى السَّمْعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ
38 We created the heavens, the earth, and everything between them in six days [periods] nor were We ever wearied. وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِن لُّغُوبٍ
39 So bear with patience what they say, and glorify your Lord with His praise, before the rising and before the setting of the sun; فَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ الْغُرُوبِ
40 proclaim His praise in the night and at the end of every prayer. وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَأَدْبَارَ السُّجُودِ
41 Hearken! The Day when the caller will call from near. وَاسْتَمِعْ يَوْمَ يُنَادِ الْمُنَادِ مِن مَّكَانٍ قَرِيبٍ
42 The Day when men will hear the fateful cry, they will rise up [from their graves]. يَوْمَ يَسْمَعُونَ الصَّيْحَةَ بِالْحَقِّ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُرُوجِ
43 Truly, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us shall all return إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِي وَنُمِيتُ وَإِلَيْنَا الْمَصِيرُ
44 on the Day the earth will be rent asunder over them, and from it they shall emerge in haste. To assemble them all is easy enough for Us. يَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ الْأَرْضُ عَنْهُمْ سِرَاعًا ذَلِكَ حَشْرٌ عَلَيْنَا يَسِيرٌ
45 We know best what those who deny the truth say. You are not there to force them: so remind, with this Quran, those who fear My warning. نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ وَمَا أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِجَبَّارٍ فَذَكِّرْ بِالْقُرْآنِ مَن يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ
