Chapter 50, 45 verses
Qaf waalqurani almajeedi
Qaf. By the honored Qur'an...
قٓ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْمَجِيدِ
Bal AAajiboo an jaahum munthirun minhum faqala alkafiroona hatha shayon AAajeebun
But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing.
بَلْ عَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ
Aitha mitna wakunna turaban thalika rajAAun baAAeedun
When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant return."
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌۢ بَعِيدٌ
Qad AAalimna ma tanqusu alardu minhum waAAindana kitabun hafeethun
We know what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a retaining record.
قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ وَعِندَنَا كِتَٰبٌ حَفِيظٌۢ
Bal kaththaboo bialhaqqi lamma jaahum fahum fee amrin mareejin
But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused condition.
بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِىٓ أَمْرٍ مَّرِيجٍ
Afalam yanthuroo ila alssamai fawqahum kayfa banaynaha wazayyannaha wama laha min furoojin
Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?
أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍ
Waalarda madadnaha waalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatna feeha min kulli zawjin baheejin
And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind,
وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيجٍ
Tabsiratan wathikra likulli AAabdin muneebin
Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allah].
تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيبٍ
Wanazzalna mina alssamai maan mubarakan faanbatna bihi jannatin wahabba alhaseedi
And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest
وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً مُّبَٰرَكًا فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّٰتٍ وَحَبَّ ٱلْحَصِيدِ
Waalnnakhla basiqatin laha talAAun nadeedun
And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers -
وَٱلنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَٰتٍ لَّهَا طَلْعٌ نَّضِيدٌ
Rizqan lilAAibadi waahyayna bihi baldatan maytan kathalika alkhurooju
As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the resurrection.
رِّزْقًا لِّلْعِبَادِ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِۦ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْخُرُوجُ
Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin waashabu alrrassi wathamoodu
The people of Noah denied before them, and the companions of the well and Thamud
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ
WaAAadun wafirAAawnu waikhwanu lootin
And 'Aad and Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot
وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَٰنُ لُوطٍ
Waashabu alaykati waqawmu tubbaAAin kullun kaththaba alrrusula fahaqqa waAAeedi
And the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubba'. All denied the messengers, so My threat was justly fulfilled.
وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ كُلٌّ كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ
AfaAAayeena bialkhalqi alawwali bal hum fee labsin min khalqin jadeedin
Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over 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
And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفْسُهُۥ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ ٱلْوَرِيدِ
Ith yatalaqqa almutalaqqiyani AAani alyameeni waAAani alshshimali qaAAeedun
When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left.
إِذْ يَتَلَقَّى ٱلْمُتَلَقِّيَانِ عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٌ
Ma yalfithu min qawlin illa ladayhi raqeebun AAateedun
Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].
مَّا يَلْفِظُ مِن قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌ
Wajaat sakratu almawti bialhaqqi thalika ma kunta minhu taheedu
And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid.
وَجَآءَتْ سَكْرَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ بِٱلْحَقِّ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنتَ مِنْهُ تَحِيدُ
Wanufikha fee alssoori thalika yawmu alwaAAeedi
And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat.
وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلْوَعِيدِ
Wajaat kullu nafsin maAAaha saiqun washaheedun
And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness.
وَجَآءَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّعَهَا سَآئِقٌ وَشَهِيدٌ
Laqad kunta fee ghaflatin min hatha fakashafna AAanka ghitaaka fabasaruka alyawma hadeedun
[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."
لَّقَدْ كُنتَ فِى غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هَٰذَا فَكَشَفْنَا عَنكَ غِطَآءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ حَدِيدٌ
Waqala qareenuhu hatha ma ladayya AAateedun
And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared."
وَقَالَ قَرِينُهُۥ هَٰذَا مَا لَدَىَّ عَتِيدٌ
Alqiya fee jahannama kulla kaffarin AAaneedin
[Allah will say], "Throw into Hell every obstinate ,
أَلْقِيَا فِى جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ
MannaAAin lilkhayri muAAtadin mureebin
Preventer of good, aggressor, and doubter,
مَّنَّاعٍ لِّلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ مُّرِيبٍ
Allathee jaAAala maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara faalqiyahu fee alAAathabi alshshadeedi
Who made [as equal] with Allah another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment."
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَأَلْقِيَاهُ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلشَّدِيدِ
Qala qareenuhu rabbana ma atghaytuhu walakin kana fee dalalin baAAeedin
His [devil] companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he [himself] was in extreme error."
قَالَ قَرِينُهُۥ رَبَّنَا مَآ أَطْغَيْتُهُۥ وَلَٰكِن كَانَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍۭ بَعِيدٍ
Qala la takhtasimoo ladayya waqad qaddamtu ilaykum bialwaAAeedi
[Allah] will say, "Do not dispute before Me, while I had already presented to you the warning.
قَالَ لَا تَخْتَصِمُوا۟ لَدَىَّ وَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكُم بِٱلْوَعِيدِ
Ma yubaddalu alqawlu ladayya wama ana bithallamin lilAAabeedi
The word will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants."
مَا يُبَدَّلُ ٱلْقَوْلُ لَدَىَّ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِظَلَّٰمٍ لِّلْعَبِيدِ
Yawma naqoolu lijahannama hali imtalati wataqoolu hal min mazeedin
On the Day We will say to Hell, "Have you been filled?" and it will say, "Are there some more,"
يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ ٱمْتَلَأْتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِن مَّزِيدٍ
Waozlifati aljannatu lilmuttaqeena ghayra baAAeedin
And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far,
وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ
Hatha ma tooAAadoona likulli awwabin hafeethin
[It will be said], "This is what you were promised - for every returner [to Allah] and keeper [of His covenant]
هَٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍ
Man khashiya alrrahmana bialghaybi wajaa biqalbin muneebin
Who feared the Most Merciful unseen and came with a heart returning [in repentance].
مَّنْ خَشِىَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنَ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَجَآءَ بِقَلْبٍ مُّنِيبٍ
Odkhulooha bisalamin thalika yawmu alkhuloodi
Enter it in peace. This is the Day of Eternity."
ٱدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَٰمٍ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلْخُلُودِ
Lahum ma yashaoona feeha waladayna mazeedun
They will have whatever they wish therein, and with Us is more.
لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌ
Wakam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin hum ashaddu minhum batshan fanaqqaboo fee albiladi hal min maheesin
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?
وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًا فَنَقَّبُوا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ هَلْ مِن مَّحِيصٍ
Inna fee thalika lathikra liman kana lahu qalbun aw alqa alssamAAa wahuwa shaheedun
Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind].
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِمَن كَانَ لَهُۥ قَلْبٌ أَوْ أَلْقَى ٱلسَّمْعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ
Walaqad khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma fee sittati ayyamin wama massana min lughoobin
And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِن لُّغُوبٍ
Faisbir AAala ma yaqooloona wasabbih bihamdi rabbika qabla tulooAAi alshshamsi waqabla alghuroobi
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,
فَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ ٱلْغُرُوبِ
Wamina allayli fasabbihhu waadbara alssujoodi
And [in part] of the night exalt Him and after prostration.
وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَأَدْبَٰرَ ٱلسُّجُودِ
WaistamiAA yawma yunadi almunadi min makanin qareebin
And listen on the Day when the Caller will call out from a place that is near -
وَٱسْتَمِعْ يَوْمَ يُنَادِ ٱلْمُنَادِ مِن مَّكَانٍ قَرِيبٍ
Yawma yasmaAAoona alssayhata bialhaqqi thalika yawmu alkhurooji
The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves].
يَوْمَ يَسْمَعُونَ ٱلصَّيْحَةَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلْخُرُوجِ
Inna nahnu nuhyee wanumeetu wailayna almaseeru
Indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْىِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَإِلَيْنَا ٱلْمَصِيرُ
Yawma tashaqqaqu alardu AAanhum siraAAan thalika hashrun AAalayna yaseerun
On the Day the earth breaks away from them [and they emerge] rapidly; that is a gathering easy for Us.
يَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلْأَرْضُ عَنْهُمْ سِرَاعًا ذَٰلِكَ حَشْرٌ عَلَيْنَا يَسِيرٌ
Nahnu aAAlamu bima yaqooloona wama anta AAalayhim bijabbarin fathakkir bialqurani man yakhafu waAAeedi
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.
نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِجَبَّارٍ فَذَكِّرْ بِٱلْقُرْءَانِ مَن يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ
