Qaf. By the honored Qur'an...
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ق ۚ والقرآن المجيد
But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing.
بل عجبوا أن جاءهم منذر منهم فقال الكافرون هذا شيء عجيب
When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant return."
أإذا متنا وكنا ترابا ۖ ذلك رجع بعيد
We know what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a retaining record.
قد علمنا ما تنقص الأرض منهم ۖ وعندنا كتاب حفيظ
But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused condition.
بل كذبوا بالحق لما جاءهم فهم في أمر مريج
Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?
أفلم ينظروا إلى السماء فوقهم كيف بنيناها وزيناها وما لها من فروج
And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind,
والأرض مددناها وألقينا فيها رواسي وأنبتنا فيها من كل زوج بهيج
Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allah].
تبصرة وذكرى لكل عبد منيب
And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest
ونزلنا من السماء ماء مباركا فأنبتنا به جنات وحب الحصيد
And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers -
والنخل باسقات لها طلع نضيد
As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the resurrection.
رزقا للعباد ۖ وأحيينا به بلدة ميتا ۚ كذلك الخروج
The people of Noah denied before them, and the companions of the well and Thamud
كذبت قبلهم قوم نوح وأصحاب الرس وثمود
And 'Aad and Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot
وعاد وفرعون وإخوان لوط
And the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubba'. All denied the messengers, so My threat was justly fulfilled.
وأصحاب الأيكة وقوم تبع ۚ كل كذب الرسل فحق وعيد
Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.
أفعيينا بالخلق الأول ۚ بل هم في لبس من خلق جديد
And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein
ولقد خلقنا الإنسان ونعلم ما توسوس به نفسه ۖ ونحن أقرب إليه من حبل الوريد
When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left.
إذ يتلقى المتلقيان عن اليمين وعن الشمال قعيد
Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].
ما يلفظ من قول إلا لديه رقيب عتيد
And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid.
وجاءت سكرة الموت بالحق ۖ ذلك ما كنت منه تحيد
And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat.
ونفخ في الصور ۚ ذلك يوم الوعيد
And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness.
وجاءت كل نفس معها سائق وشهيد
[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."
لقد كنت في غفلة من هذا فكشفنا عنك غطاءك فبصرك اليوم حديد
And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared."
وقال قرينه هذا ما لدي عتيد
[Allah will say], "Throw into Hell every obstinate ,
ألقيا في جهنم كل كفار عنيد
Preventer of good, aggressor, and doubter,
مناع للخير معتد مريب
Who made [as equal] with Allah another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment."
الذي جعل مع الله إلها آخر فألقياه في العذاب الشديد
His [devil] companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he [himself] was in extreme error."
۞ قال قرينه ربنا ما أطغيته ولكن كان في ضلال بعيد
[Allah] will say, "Do not dispute before Me, while I had already presented to you the warning.
قال لا تختصموا لدي وقد قدمت إليكم بالوعيد
The word will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants."
ما يبدل القول لدي وما أنا بظلام للعبيد
On the Day We will say to Hell, "Have you been filled?" and it will say, "Are there some more,"
يوم نقول لجهنم هل امتلأت وتقول هل من مزيد
And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far,
وأزلفت الجنة للمتقين غير بعيد
[It will be said], "This is what you were promised - for every returner [to Allah] and keeper [of His covenant]
هذا ما توعدون لكل أواب حفيظ
Who feared the Most Merciful unseen and came with a heart returning [in repentance].
من خشي الرحمن بالغيب وجاء بقلب منيب
Enter it in peace. This is the Day of Eternity."
ادخلوها بسلام ۖ ذلك يوم الخلود
They will have whatever they wish therein, and with Us is more.
لهم ما يشاءون فيها ولدينا مزيد
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?
وكم أهلكنا قبلهم من قرن هم أشد منهم بطشا فنقبوا في البلاد هل من محيص
Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind].
إن في ذلك لذكرى لمن كان له قلب أو ألقى السمع وهو شهيد
And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness.
ولقد خلقنا السماوات والأرض وما بينهما في ستة أيام وما مسنا من لغوب
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,
فاصبر على ما يقولون وسبح بحمد ربك قبل طلوع الشمس وقبل الغروب
And [in part] of the night exalt Him and after prostration.
ومن الليل فسبحه وأدبار السجود
And listen on the Day when the Caller will call out from a place that is near -
واستمع يوم يناد المناد من مكان قريب
The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves].
يوم يسمعون الصيحة بالحق ۚ ذلك يوم الخروج
Indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination
إنا نحن نحيي ونميت وإلينا المصير
On the Day the earth breaks away from them [and they emerge] rapidly; that is a gathering easy for Us.
يوم تشقق الأرض عنهم سراعا ۚ ذلك حشر علينا يسير
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.
نحن أعلم بما يقولون ۖ وما أنت عليهم بجبار ۖ فذكر بالقرآن من يخاف وعيد
