بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ق ۚ والقرآن المجيد
Qaf: By the Glorious Qur'an (Thou art Allah's Messenger).
قٓ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْمَجِيدِ
Bal AAajiboo an jaahum munthirun minhum faqala alkafiroona hatha shayon AAajeebun
بل عجبوا أن جاءهم منذر منهم فقال الكافرون هذا شيء عجيب
But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves. So the Unbelievers say: "This is a wonderful thing!
بَلْ عَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ
Aitha mitna wakunna turaban thalika rajAAun baAAeedun
أإذا متنا وكنا ترابا ۖ ذلك رجع بعيد
"What! When we die and become dust, (shall we live again?) That is a (sort of) return far (from our understanding)."
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌۢ بَعِيدٌ
Qad AAalimna ma tanqusu alardu minhum waAAindana kitabun hafeethun
قد علمنا ما تنقص الأرض منهم ۖ وعندنا كتاب حفيظ
We already know how much of them the earth takes away: With Us is a record guarding (the full account).
قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ وَعِندَنَا كِتَٰبٌ حَفِيظٌۢ
Bal kaththaboo bialhaqqi lamma jaahum fahum fee amrin mareejin
بل كذبوا بالحق لما جاءهم فهم في أمر مريج
But they deny the Truth when it comes to them: so they are in a confused state.
بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِىٓ أَمْرٍ مَّرِيجٍ
Afalam yanthuroo ila alssamai fawqahum kayfa banaynaha wazayyannaha wama laha min furoojin
أفلم ينظروا إلى السماء فوقهم كيف بنيناها وزيناها وما لها من فروج
Do they not look at the sky above them? - How We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?
أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍ
Waalarda madadnaha waalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatna feeha min kulli zawjin baheejin
والأرض مددناها وألقينا فيها رواسي وأنبتنا فيها من كل زوج بهيج
And the earth - We have spread it out, and set thereon mountains standing firm, and produced therein every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs) -
وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيجٍ
Tabsiratan wathikra likulli AAabdin muneebin
تبصرة وذكرى لكل عبد منيب
To be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning (to Allah).
تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيبٍ
Wanazzalna mina alssamai maan mubarakan faanbatna bihi jannatin wahabba alhaseedi
ونزلنا من السماء ماء مباركا فأنبتنا به جنات وحب الحصيد
And We send down from the sky rain charted with blessing, and We produce therewith gardens and Grain for harvests;
وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً مُّبَٰرَكًا فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّٰتٍ وَحَبَّ ٱلْحَصِيدِ
Waalnnakhla basiqatin laha talAAun nadeedun
والنخل باسقات لها طلع نضيد
And tall (and stately) palm - trees, with shoots of fruit - stalks, piled one over another; -
وَٱلنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَٰتٍ لَّهَا طَلْعٌ نَّضِيدٌ
Rizqan lilAAibadi waahyayna bihi baldatan maytan kathalika alkhurooju
رزقا للعباد ۖ وأحيينا به بلدة ميتا ۚ كذلك الخروج
As sustenance for (Allah's) Servants; - and We give (new) life therewith to land that is dead: Thus will be the Resurrection.

Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin waashabu alrrassi wathamoodu
كذبت قبلهم قوم نوح وأصحاب الرس وثمود
Before them was denied (the Hereafter) by the People of Noah, the Companions of the Rass, the Thamud,
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ
WaAAadun wafirAAawnu waikhwanu lootin

وأصحاب الأيكة وقوم تبع ۚ كل كذب الرسل فحق وعيد

AfaAAayeena bialkhalqi alawwali bal hum fee labsin min khalqin jadeedin
أفعيينا بالخلق الأول ۚ بل هم في لبس من خلق جديد
Were We then weary with the first Creation, that they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation?
أَفَعَيِينَا بِٱلْخَلْقِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ بَلْ هُمْ فِى لَبْسٍ مِّنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ
Walaqad khalaqna alinsana wanaAAlamu ma tuwaswisu bihi nafsuhu wanahnu aqrabu ilayhi min habli alwareedi
ولقد خلقنا الإنسان ونعلم ما توسوس به نفسه ۖ ونحن أقرب إليه من حبل الوريد
It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفْسُهُۥ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ ٱلْوَرِيدِ

But how many generations before them did We destroy (for their sins), - stronger in power than they? Then did they wander through the land: was there any place of escape (for them)?
وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًا فَنَقَّبُوا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ هَلْ مِن مَّحِيصٍ

نحن أعلم بما يقولون ۖ وما أنت عليهم بجبار ۖ فذكر بالقرآن من يخاف وعيد
We know best what they say; and thou art not one to overawe them by force. So admonish with the Qur'an such as fear My Warning!
نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِجَبَّارٍ فَذَكِّرْ بِٱلْقُرْءَانِ مَن يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ
