Qaf waalqurani almajeedi
Qaf: By the Glorious Qur'an (Thou art Allah's Messenger).
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ق ۚ والقرآن المجيد
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. So the Unbelievers say: "This is a wonderful thing!
بل عجبوا أن جاءهم منذر منهم فقال الكافرون هذا شيء عجيب
Aitha mitna wakunna turaban thalika rajAAun baAAeedun
"What! When we die and become dust, (shall we live again?) That is a (sort of) return far (from our understanding)."
أإذا متنا وكنا ترابا ۖ ذلك رجع بعيد
Qad AAalimna ma tanqusu alardu minhum waAAindana kitabun hafeethun
We already know how much of them the earth takes away: With Us is a record guarding (the full account).
قد علمنا ما تنقص الأرض منهم ۖ وعندنا كتاب حفيظ
Bal kaththaboo bialhaqqi lamma jaahum fahum fee amrin mareejin
But they deny the Truth when it comes to them: so they are in a confused state.
بل كذبوا بالحق لما جاءهم فهم في أمر مريج
Afalam yanthuroo ila alssamai fawqahum kayfa banaynaha wazayyannaha wama laha min furoojin
Do they not look at the sky above them? - How We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?
أفلم ينظروا إلى السماء فوقهم كيف بنيناها وزيناها وما لها من فروج
Waalarda madadnaha waalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatna feeha min kulli zawjin baheejin
And the earth - We have spread it out, and set thereon mountains standing firm, and produced therein every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs) -
والأرض مددناها وألقينا فيها رواسي وأنبتنا فيها من كل زوج بهيج
Tabsiratan wathikra likulli AAabdin muneebin
To be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning (to Allah).
تبصرة وذكرى لكل عبد منيب
Wanazzalna mina alssamai maan mubarakan faanbatna bihi jannatin wahabba alhaseedi

And tall (and stately) palm - trees, with shoots of fruit - stalks, piled one over another; -
والنخل باسقات لها طلع نضيد
Rizqan lilAAibadi waahyayna bihi baldatan maytan kathalika alkhurooju
As sustenance for (Allah's) Servants; - and We give (new) life therewith to land that is dead: Thus will be the Resurrection.

The 'Ad, Pharaoh, the brethren of Lut,
وعاد وفرعون وإخوان لوط
Waashabu alaykati waqawmu tubbaAAin kullun kaththaba alrrusula fahaqqa waAAeedi
The Companions of the Wood, and the People of Tubba'; each one (of them) rejected the messengers, and My warning was duly fulfilled (in them).
وأصحاب الأيكة وقوم تبع ۚ كل كذب الرسل فحق وعيد
AfaAAayeena bialkhalqi alawwali bal hum fee labsin min khalqin jadeedin
Were We then weary with the first Creation, that they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation?
أفعيينا بالخلق الأول ۚ بل هم في لبس من خلق جديد
Walaqad khalaqna alinsana wanaAAlamu ma tuwaswisu bihi nafsuhu wanahnu aqrabu ilayhi min habli alwareedi
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.
ولقد خلقنا الإنسان ونعلم ما توسوس به نفسه ۖ ونحن أقرب إليه من حبل الوريد
Ith yatalaqqa almutalaqqiyani AAani alyameeni waAAani alshshimali qaAAeedun
Behold, two (guardian angels) appointed to learn (his doings) learn (and noted them), one sitting on the right and one on the left.
إذ يتلقى المتلقيان عن اليمين وعن الشمال قعيد
Ma yalfithu min qawlin illa ladayhi raqeebun AAateedun

ما يلفظ من قول إلا لديه رقيب عتيد
Wajaat sakratu almawti bialhaqqi thalika ma kunta minhu taheedu

"The Word changes not before Me, and I do not the least injustice to My Servants."
ما يبدل القول لدي وما أنا بظلام للعبيد
Yawma naqoolu lijahannama hali imtalati wataqoolu hal min mazeedin

"Enter ye therein in Peace and Security; this is a Day of Eternal Life!"
ادخلوها بسلام ۖ ذلك يوم الخلود
Lahum ma yashaoona feeha waladayna mazeedun
There will be for them therein all that they wish, - and more besides in Our Presence.
لهم ما يشاءون فيها ولدينا مزيد
Wakam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin hum ashaddu minhum batshan fanaqqaboo fee albiladi hal min maheesin
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)?
وكم أهلكنا قبلهم من قرن هم أشد منهم بطشا فنقبوا في البلاد هل من محيص
Inna fee thalika lathikra liman kana lahu qalbun aw alqa alssamAAa wahuwa shaheedun
Verily in this is a Message for any that has a heart and understanding or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses (the truth).
إن في ذلك لذكرى لمن كان له قلب أو ألقى السمع وهو شهيد

واستمع يوم يناد المناد من مكان قريب
Yawma yasmaAAoona alssayhata bialhaqqi thalika yawmu alkhurooji
The Day when they will hear a (mighty) Blast in (very) truth: that will be the Day of Resurrection.
يوم يسمعون الصيحة بالحق ۚ ذلك يوم الخروج
