| | Maulana Muhammad Ali rendition of Surah The Letter Qaf(Qaf)
--- |
|---|
| 50:1 | | Almighty (God)! By the glorious Qur’an |
| 50:2 | | Nay, they wonder that a warner has come to them from among themselves; so the disbelievers say: This is a wonderful thing |
| 50:3 | | When we die and become dust -- that is a far return |
| 50:4 | | We know indeed what the earth diminishes of them and with Us is a book that preserves |
| 50:5 | | Nay, they reject the Truth when it comes to them, so they are in a state of confusion |
| 50:6 | | Do they not look at the sky above them? -- how We have made it and adorned it and it has no gaps |
| 50:7 | | And the earth, We have spread it out, and cast therein mountains, and We have made to grow therein of every beautiful kind - |
| 50:8 | | To give sight and as a reminder to every servant who turns (to Allah) |
| 50:9 | | And We send down from the clouds water abounding in good, then We cause to grow thereby gardens and the grain that is reaped |
| 50:10 | | And the tall palm-trees having flower spikes piled one above another - |
| 50:11 | | A sustenance for the servants, and We give life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the rising |
| 50:12 | | Before them the people of Noah rejected (the Truth) and (so did) the dwellers of Al-Rads and Thamu |
| 50:13 | | And ‘Ad and Pharaoh and Lot’s brethren |
| 50:14 | | And the dwellers of the grove and the people of Tubba. They all rejected the messengers, so My threat came to pass |
| 50:15 | | Were We then fatigued with the first creation? Yet they are in doubt about a new creation |
| 50:16 | | And certainly We created man, and We know what his mind suggests to him -- and We are nearer to him than his life-vein |
| 50:17 | | When the two receivers receive, sitting on the right and on the left |
| 50:18 | | He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher at hand |
| 50:19 | | And the stupor of death comes in truth; that is what thou wouldst shun |
| 50:20 | | And the trumpet is blown. That is the day of threatening |
| 50:21 | | And every soul comes, with it a driver and a witness |
| 50:22 | | Thou wast indeed heedless of this, but now We have removed from thee thy veil, so thy sight is sharp this day |
| 50:23 | | And his companion will say: This is what is ready with me |
| 50:24 | | Cast into hell every ungrateful, rebellious one |
| 50:25 | | Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter |
| 50:26 | | Who sets up another god with Allah, so cast him into severe chastisement |
| 50:27 | | His companion will say: Our Lord, I did not cause him to rebel but he himself went far in error |
| 50:28 | | He will say: Dispute not in My presence, and indeed I gave you warning beforehand |
| 50:29 | | My sentence cannot be changed, nor am I in the least unjust to the servants |
| 50:30 | | On the day when We say to hell: Art thou filled up? And it will say: Are there any more |
| 50:31 | | And the Garden is brought near for those who guard against evil -- (it is) not distant |
| 50:32 | | This is what you are promised -- for every one turning (to Allah), keeping (the limits) - |
| 50:33 | | Who fears the Beneficent in secret, and comes with a penitent heart |
| 50:34 | | Enter it in peace. That is the day of abiding |
| 50:35 | | For them therein is all they wish, and with Us is yet more |
| 50:36 | | And how many a generation We destroyed before them who were mightier in prowess than they! so they went about in the lands. Is there a place of refuge |
| 50:37 | | Surely there is a reminder in this for him who has a heart or he gives ear and is a witness |
| 50:38 | | And certainly We created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six periods, and no fatigue touched Us |
| 50:39 | | So bear with what they say, and celebrate the praise of thy Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting |
| 50:40 | | And glorify Him in the night and after prostration |
| 50:41 | | And listen on the day when the crier cries from a near place - |
| 50:42 | | The day when they hear the cry in truth. That is the day of coming forth |
| 50:43 | | Surely We give life and cause to die, and to Us is the eventual coming - |
| 50:44 | | The day when the earth cleaves asunder from them, hastening forth. That is a gathering easy to Us |
| 50:45 | | We know best what they say, and thou art not one to compel them. So remind by means of the Qur’an him who fears My threat |
