Qaf. By the honored Qur'an...
Qaf waalqurani almajeedi
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ق ۚ والقرآن المجيد
قٓ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْمَجِيدِ
But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing.
Bal AAajiboo an jaahum munthirun minhum faqala alkafiroona hatha shayon AAajeebun
بل عجبوا أن جاءهم منذر منهم فقال الكافرون هذا شيء عجيب
بَلْ عَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ
When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant return."
Aitha mitna wakunna turaban thalika rajAAun baAAeedun
أإذا متنا وكنا ترابا ۖ ذلك رجع بعيد
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌۢ بَعِيدٌ
We know what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a retaining record.
Qad AAalimna ma tanqusu alardu minhum waAAindana kitabun hafeethun
قد علمنا ما تنقص الأرض منهم ۖ وعندنا كتاب حفيظ
قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ وَعِندَنَا كِتَٰبٌ حَفِيظٌۢ
But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused condition.
Bal kaththaboo bialhaqqi lamma jaahum fahum fee amrin mareejin
بل كذبوا بالحق لما جاءهم فهم في أمر مريج
بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِىٓ أَمْرٍ مَّرِيجٍ
Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?
Afalam yanthuroo ila alssamai fawqahum kayfa banaynaha wazayyannaha wama laha min furoojin
أفلم ينظروا إلى السماء فوقهم كيف بنيناها وزيناها وما لها من فروج
أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍ
And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind,
Waalarda madadnaha waalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatna feeha min kulli zawjin baheejin
والأرض مددناها وألقينا فيها رواسي وأنبتنا فيها من كل زوج بهيج
وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيجٍ
Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allah].
Tabsiratan wathikra likulli AAabdin muneebin
تبصرة وذكرى لكل عبد منيب
تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيبٍ
And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest
Wanazzalna mina alssamai maan mubarakan faanbatna bihi jannatin wahabba alhaseedi
ونزلنا من السماء ماء مباركا فأنبتنا به جنات وحب الحصيد
وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً مُّبَٰرَكًا فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّٰتٍ وَحَبَّ ٱلْحَصِيدِ
And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers -
Waalnnakhla basiqatin laha talAAun nadeedun
والنخل باسقات لها طلع نضيد
وَٱلنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَٰتٍ لَّهَا طَلْعٌ نَّضِيدٌ
As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the resurrection.
Rizqan lilAAibadi waahyayna bihi baldatan maytan kathalika alkhurooju
رزقا للعباد ۖ وأحيينا به بلدة ميتا ۚ كذلك الخروج

The people of Noah denied before them, and the companions of the well and Thamud
Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin waashabu alrrassi wathamoodu
كذبت قبلهم قوم نوح وأصحاب الرس وثمود

And 'Aad and Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot
WaAAadun wafirAAawnu waikhwanu lootin
وعاد وفرعون وإخوان لوط
وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَٰنُ لُوطٍ
And the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubba'. All denied the messengers, so My threat was justly fulfilled.
Waashabu alaykati waqawmu tubbaAAin kullun kaththaba alrrusula fahaqqa waAAeedi
وأصحاب الأيكة وقوم تبع ۚ كل كذب الرسل فحق وعيد
وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ كُلٌّ كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ
Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.
AfaAAayeena bialkhalqi alawwali bal hum fee labsin min khalqin jadeedin
أفعيينا بالخلق الأول ۚ بل هم في لبس من خلق جديد
أَفَعَيِينَا بِٱلْخَلْقِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ بَلْ هُمْ فِى لَبْسٍ مِّنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ
And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein
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
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفْسُهُۥ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ ٱلْوَرِيدِ

And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid.
Wajaat sakratu almawti bialhaqqi thalika ma kunta minhu taheedu
