Qaf waalqurani almajeedi
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'an,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ق ۚ والقرآن المجيد
Bal AAajiboo an jaahum munthirun minhum faqala alkafiroona hatha shayon AAajeebun
Nay, but they marvel that a warner of their own hath come unto them; and the disbelievers say: This is a strange thing:
بل عجبوا أن جاءهم منذر منهم فقال الكافرون هذا شيء عجيب
Aitha mitna wakunna turaban thalika rajAAun baAAeedun
When we are dead and have become dust (shall we be brought back again) ? That would be a far return!

Bal kaththaboo bialhaqqi lamma jaahum fahum fee amrin mareejin
Nay, but they have denied the truth when it came unto them, therefor they are now in troubled case.
