| 50:1 | | Qaf . (I swear) by the glorious Qur‘an, (you are sent as a messenger. |
| 50:2 | | But they wonder that a warner has come to them from among themselves; so the disbelievers said, .This is something strange |
| 50:3 | | Is it when we die and become dust (that we will be brought to life again?) That is a return, far (from understanding) |
| 50:4 | | We know very well how much of them is diminished by the earth, and We have a Book that Preserves every thing |
| 50:5 | | Rather, they rejected the truth when it came to them; so they are in a confused state |
| 50:6 | | Did they not, then, look to the sky above them, how We have built it and beautified it, and it has no cracks |
| 50:7 | | As for the earth, We have spread it out, and cast on it firm hills, and caused to grow therein every kind of delightful things |
| 50:8 | | as a source of vision and as a lesson to every servant (of Allah) who turns (to Him for guidance) |
| 50:9 | | And We sent down blessed water from the sky, and caused to grow therewith gardens and grain of harvest |
| 50:10 | | and towering date palms that have spadices, put one upon another |
| 50:11 | | as a provision to the servants (of Allah). And We gave life with it to a dead land. Similar will be the exit (of the dead from their graves) |
| 50:12 | | It (resurrection) was rejected before them by the people of NuH, and the people of Rass and Thamud |
| 50:13 | | and ‘Ad, and Fir‘aun (Pharaoh), and the brothers of LuT |
| 50:14 | | and dwellers of Aaikah, and the people of Tubba‘. Each one of them rejected the messengers; so My threat came true |
| 50:15 | | Is it, then, that We were worn out by the first creation? No, but they are still in confusion about the new creation |
| 50:16 | | Indeed We have created man, and We know whatever thoughts his inner self develops, and We are closer to him than (his) jugular vein |
| 50:17 | | when the two receiving angels receive (every human act to record it), seated (one) on the right and (one) on the left |
| 50:18 | | Not a single word is uttered by one but there is a watcher near him, ready (to record) |
| 50:19 | | The daze of death has (to) come with truth. That is what you tried to escape |
| 50:20 | | And the Horn will be blown. That will be the day of (which) threat (was given) |
| 50:21 | | And everybody will come, along with one (angel) to drive (him to the field of reckoning) and one (angel) to testify (about his deeds) |
| 50:22 | | .You were heedless of this. Now We have removed your veil from you; so your sight today is sharp |
| 50:23 | | And his companion (i.e. the angel who recorded his deeds) will say, .This is what I have with me, ready (to be presented as his record of deeds) |
| 50:24 | | (Then it will be said,) .Cast, (O two angels,) into Jahannam (Hell) every obstinate disbelieve |
| 50:25 | | who used to prevent (others) from good (behavior), who transgressed all bounds, who cast doubts (in true faith) |
| 50:26 | | who set up another god along with Allah. So cast him (O angels) in the painful punishment |
| 50:27 | | His (evil) companion (i.e. the Satan) will say, .O our Lord, I did not cause him to rebel, but he was himself (involved) in straying far from the track |
| 50:28 | | He (Allah) will say, .Do not quarrel before Me, while I had sent to you My threat well in advance |
| 50:29 | | The Word is not changed with Me, and I Am not so unjust to My servants |
| 50:30 | | (Remind them of) the Day when We will say to Jahannam (Hell), .Are you filled up?. and it will say, .Are there some more? |
| 50:31 | | And the Jannah (Paradise) will be brought close for the God-fearing, no longer distant |
| 50:32 | | (And it will be said,) .This is what you were promised for everyone who was oft-returning to Allah, vigilant (against sins) |
| 50:33 | | the one who feared the RaHman (The All-Merciful Allah), without seeing Him, and came up with a heart oriented towards Him |
| 50:34 | | Enter it in peace. That is the Day of Eternity |
| 50:35 | | They will have in it whatever they wish, and with Us there are things even more than that |
| 50:36 | | And how many a generation We have destroyed before them who were stronger than these in their grip on power, and they searched out the cities. Was there any place (for them) to escape |
| 50:37 | | Indeed, there is a lesson in all this for him who has a heart and gives ear (to the truth) attentively |
| 50:38 | | We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six days, and no weariness even touched Us |
| 50:39 | | So, (O Prophet,) endure with patience what they say, and proclaim His purity, along with your Lord‘s praise, before sunrise and before sunset |
| 50:40 | | And in hours of night, proclaim His purity, and at the ends of prostration |
| 50:41 | | And listen: The Day when the caller will call out from a near place |
| 50:42 | | the Day they will hear the Cry in reality_ that will be the Day of Resurrection |
| 50:43 | | Surely We alone give life and bring death, and to Us is the final retur |
| 50:44 | | on the Day when the earth will burst apart exposing them, while they will be hurrying up (to come out). That is an assembly, so easy for Us (to muster) |
| 50:45 | | We know well what they say, and you are not (sent) as one who compels them. So exhort, through the Qur‘an, the one who fears My warning |
