| 50:1 | | Qaf; by oath of the Glorious Qur’an |
| 50:2 | | Rather they were shocked that a Herald of Warning came to them from among themselves, so the disbelievers said, “This is something really strange.&rdquo |
| 50:3 | | “When we are dead and have turned to dust, will we be raised again? That return is impossible!&rdquo |
| 50:4 | | We know all what the earth decreases from them; and with Us is a Book that retains |
| 50:5 | | In fact they denied the Truth when it came to them, so they are now in a dilemma |
| 50:6 | | So did they not see the sky above them - how We have made it and beautified it, and there are no cracks in it |
| 50:7 | | And (how) We have spread the earth, and placed mountains as anchors in it, and have grown all kinds of beautiful pairs in it |
| 50:8 | | A perception and an understanding, for every bondman who inclines |
| 50:9 | | And We sent down the auspicious water from the sky, therefore producing gardens with it, and the grain that is harvested |
| 50:10 | | And high date-palms with lush fruit |
| 50:11 | | As sustenance for the bondmen; and with it We revived a dead city; this is how you will be raised |
| 50:12 | | Before these, the people of Nooh had denied, and so did the dwellers of Rass and the Thamud |
| 50:13 | | And the tribe of A’ad, and Firaun, and the fellowmen of Lut |
| 50:14 | | And the Dwellers of the Woods, and the people of Tubb’a; each one of them one denied the Noble Messengers, so My promised punishment proved true |
| 50:15 | | So did We tire by creating the first time? Rather they doubt being created again |
| 50:16 | | And indeed We have created man and We know what his soul instils in him; and We are nearer to him than the hearts artery |
| 50:17 | | When the two Receiving Angels receive (his deeds), one seated on the right and one on the left |
| 50:18 | | He does not utter a single word, without a ready recorder seated next to him |
| 50:19 | | And the hardship of death came with the truth; “This is what you were escaping from!&rdquo |
| 50:20 | | And the Trumpet was blown; “This is the Day of the promised punishment.&rdquo |
| 50:21 | | And every soul came, along with a herder and a witness |
| 50:22 | | “You were indeed neglectful of this, so We have removed the veil for you, and your eyesight is sharp this day.&rdquo |
| 50:23 | | And his accompanying angel said, “This is the record of your deeds, available with me.&rdquo |
| 50:24 | | It will be said to the angels, “Both of you fling every excessive ungrateful, stubborn person into hell.&rdquo |
| 50:25 | | “The one who excessively prevented from virtue, the transgressor, the doubtful.&rdquo |
| 50:26 | | “The one who appointed another God along with Allah – so both of you fling him into the severe punishment.&rdquo |
| 50:27 | | His accompanying devil said, “Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel, but he himself was in extreme error.&rdquo |
| 50:28 | | He will say, “Do not dispute before Me – I had already warned you of the punishment.&rdquo |
| 50:29 | | “With Me, the decree does not change, and nor do I oppress the bondmen.&rdquo |
| 50:30 | | The day when We will ask hell, “Are you filled up?” and it will answer, “Are there some more?&rdquo |
| 50:31 | | And Paradise will be brought close to the pious, not far away from them |
| 50:32 | | This is what you are promised – for every repenting, careful person |
| 50:33 | | Who fears the Most Gracious without seeing, and came with a heart that inclines |
| 50:34 | | It will be said to him, “Enter it in peace; this is the day of eternity.&rdquo |
| 50:35 | | In it for them is all that they may desire, and with Us is more than it |
| 50:36 | | And many a generation We did destroy before them, who exceeded them in strength, therefore venturing in the cities! Is there a place to escape |
| 50:37 | | Indeed in this is an advice for anyone who keeps a heart, or listens attentively |
| 50:38 | | And We have indeed created the heavens and the earth, and all what is between them, in six days; and fatigue did not even approach Us |
| 50:39 | | Therefore (O dear prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) patiently bear upon what they say, and praising your Lord say His Purity before the sun rises and before the sun sets |
| 50:40 | | And say His Purity during the night, and after the customary prayers |
| 50:41 | | And listen attentively on the day when an announcer will proclaim from a place nearby |
| 50:42 | | The day when all will hear the Scream with the truth; this is the day of coming out of the graves |
| 50:43 | | Indeed it is We Who give life, and give death, and towards Us only is the return |
| 50:44 | | On the day when the earth will split for them, so they will come out in haste; this is the gathering - easy for Us |
| 50:45 | | We well know what they say (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), and you are not one to use force over them; therefore advise him with the Qur’an, whoever fears My threat |
