Chapter 50, 45 verses
Qaf. I swear by the glorious Quran (that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah)
Qaf waalqurani almajeedi
قٓ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْمَجِيدِ
Nay! they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, so the unbelievers say: This is a wonderful thing:

Aitha mitna wakunna turaban thalika rajAAun baAAeedun

We know indeed what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a writing that preserves.
Qad AAalimna ma tanqusu alardu minhum waAAindana kitabun hafeethun
قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ وَعِندَنَا كِتَٰبٌ حَفِيظٌۢ
Nay, they rejected the truth when it came to them, so they are (now) in a state of confusion.
Bal kaththaboo bialhaqqi lamma jaahum fahum fee amrin mareejin
بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِىٓ أَمْرٍ مَّرِيجٍ
Do they not then look up to heaven above them how We have made it and adorned it and it has no gaps?
Afalam yanthuroo ila alssamai fawqahum kayfa banaynaha wazayyannaha wama laha min furoojin
أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍ
And the earth, We have made it plain and cast in it mountains and We have made to grow therein of all beautiful kinds,
Waalarda madadnaha waalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatna feeha min kulli zawjin baheejin
وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيجٍ

Tabsiratan wathikra likulli AAabdin muneebin
تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيبٍ

وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً مُّبَٰرَكًا فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّٰتٍ وَحَبَّ ٱلْحَصِيدِ
And the tall palm - trees having spadices closely set one above another,
Waalnnakhla basiqatin laha talAAun nadeedun
وَٱلنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَٰتٍ لَّهَا طَلْعٌ نَّضِيدٌ

(Others) before them rejected (prophets): the people of Nuh and the dwellers of Ar - Rass and Samood,
Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin waashabu alrrassi wathamoodu
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ
And Ad and Firon and Lut's brethren,
WaAAadun wafirAAawnu waikhwanu lootin
وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَٰنُ لُوطٍ
And the dwellers of the grove and the people of Tuba; all rejected the apostles, so My threat came to pass.
Waashabu alaykati waqawmu tubbaAAin kullun kaththaba alrrusula fahaqqa waAAeedi
وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ كُلٌّ كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ

And certainly We created man, and We know what his mind suggests to him, and We are nearer to him than his life - vein.
Walaqad khalaqna alinsana wanaAAlamu ma tuwaswisu bihi nafsuhu wanahnu aqrabu ilayhi min habli alwareedi
