1 Qaf. By the honored Qur'an...

1 Qaf waalqurani almajeedi

2 But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing.

2 Bal AAajiboo an jaahum munthirun minhum faqala alkafiroona hatha shayon AAajeebun

3 When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant return."

3 Aitha mitna wakunna turaban thalika rajAAun baAAeedun

4 We know what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a retaining record.

4 Qad AAalimna ma tanqusu alardu minhum waAAindana kitabun hafeethun

5 But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused condition.

5 Bal kaththaboo bialhaqqi lamma jaahum fahum fee amrin mareejin

6 Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?

6 Afalam yanthuroo ila alssamai fawqahum kayfa banaynaha wazayyannaha wama laha min furoojin

7 And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind,

7 Waalarda madadnaha waalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatna feeha min kulli zawjin baheejin

8 Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allah].

8 Tabsiratan wathikra likulli AAabdin muneebin

9 And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest

9 Wanazzalna mina alssamai maan mubarakan faanbatna bihi jannatin wahabba alhaseedi

10 And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers -

10 Waalnnakhla basiqatin laha talAAun nadeedun

11 As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the resurrection.

11 Rizqan lilAAibadi waahyayna bihi baldatan maytan kathalika alkhurooju

12 The people of Noah denied before them, and the companions of the well and Thamud

12 Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin waashabu alrrassi wathamoodu

13 And 'Aad and Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot

13 WaAAadun wafirAAawnu waikhwanu lootin

14 And the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubba'. All denied the messengers, so My threat was justly fulfilled.

14 Waashabu alaykati waqawmu tubbaAAin kullun kaththaba alrrusula fahaqqa waAAeedi

15 Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.

15 AfaAAayeena bialkhalqi alawwali bal hum fee labsin min khalqin jadeedin

16 And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein

16 Walaqad khalaqna alinsana wanaAAlamu ma tuwaswisu bihi nafsuhu wanahnu aqrabu ilayhi min habli alwareedi

17 When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left.

17 Ith yatalaqqa almutalaqqiyani AAani alyameeni waAAani alshshimali qaAAeedun

18 Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].

18 Ma yalfithu min qawlin illa ladayhi raqeebun AAateedun

19 And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid.

19 Wajaat sakratu almawti bialhaqqi thalika ma kunta minhu taheedu

20 And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat.

20 Wanufikha fee alssoori thalika yawmu alwaAAeedi

21 And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness.

21 Wajaat kullu nafsin maAAaha saiqun washaheedun

22 [It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp."

22 Laqad kunta fee ghaflatin min hatha fakashafna AAanka ghitaaka fabasaruka alyawma hadeedun

23 And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared."

23 Waqala qareenuhu hatha ma ladayya AAateedun

24 [Allah will say], "Throw into Hell every obstinate disbeliever,

24 Alqiya fee jahannama kulla kaffarin AAaneedin

25 Preventer of good, aggressor, and doubter,

25 MannaAAin lilkhayri muAAtadin mureebin

26 Who made [as equal] with Allah another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment."

26 Allathee jaAAala maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara faalqiyahu fee alAAathabi alshshadeedi

27 His [devil] companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he [himself] was in extreme error."

27 Qala qareenuhu rabbana ma atghaytuhu walakin kana fee dalalin baAAeedin

28 [Allah] will say, "Do not dispute before Me, while I had already presented to you the warning.

28 Qala la takhtasimoo ladayya waqad qaddamtu ilaykum bialwaAAeedi

29 The word will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants."

29 Ma yubaddalu alqawlu ladayya wama ana bithallamin lilAAabeedi

30 On the Day We will say to Hell, "Have you been filled?" and it will say, "Are there some more,"

30 Yawma naqoolu lijahannama hali imtalati wataqoolu hal min mazeedin

31 And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far,

31 Waozlifati aljannatu lilmuttaqeena ghayra baAAeedin

32 [It will be said], "This is what you were promised - for every returner [to Allah] and keeper [of His covenant]

32 Hatha ma tooAAadoona likulli awwabin hafeethin

33 Who feared the Most Merciful unseen and came with a heart returning [in repentance].

33 Man khashiya alrrahmana bialghaybi wajaa biqalbin muneebin

34 Enter it in peace. This is the Day of Eternity."

34 Odkhulooha bisalamin thalika yawmu alkhuloodi

35 They will have whatever they wish therein, and with Us is more.

35 Lahum ma yashaoona feeha waladayna mazeedun

36 And how many a generation before them did We destroy who were greater than them in [striking] power and had explored throughout the lands. Is there any place of escape?

36 Wakam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin hum ashaddu minhum batshan fanaqqaboo fee albiladi hal min maheesin

37 Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind].

37 Inna fee thalika lathikra liman kana lahu qalbun aw alqa alssamAAa wahuwa shaheedun

38 And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness.

38 Walaqad khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma fee sittati ayyamin wama massana min lughoobin

39 So be patient, [O Muhammad], over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting,

39 Faisbir AAala ma yaqooloona wasabbih bihamdi rabbika qabla tulooAAi alshshamsi waqabla alghuroobi

40 And [in part] of the night exalt Him and after prostration.

40 Wamina allayli fasabbihhu waadbara alssujoodi

41 And listen on the Day when the Caller will call out from a place that is near -

41 WaistamiAA yawma yunadi almunadi min makanin qareebin

42 The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves].

42 Yawma yasmaAAoona alssayhata bialhaqqi thalika yawmu alkhurooji

43 Indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination

43 Inna nahnu nuhyee wanumeetu wailayna almaseeru

44 On the Day the earth breaks away from them [and they emerge] rapidly; that is a gathering easy for Us.

44 Yawma tashaqqaqu alardu AAanhum siraAAan thalika hashrun AAalayna yaseerun

45 We are most knowing of what they say, and you are not over them a tyrant. But remind by the Qur'an whoever fears My threat.

45 Nahnu aAAlamu bima yaqooloona wama anta AAalayhim bijabbarin fathakkir bialqurani man yakhafu waAAeedi
