| 50:1 | | Qaf. I swear by the glorious Quran (that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah |
| 50:2 | | Nay! they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, so the unbelievers say: This is a wonderful thing |
| 50:3 | | What! when we are dead and have become dust? That is afar (from probable) return |
| 50:4 | | We know indeed what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a writing that preserves |
| 50:5 | | Nay, they rejected the truth when it came to them, so they are (now) in a state of confusion |
| 50:6 | | Do they not then look up to heaven above them how We have made it and adorned it and it has no gaps |
| 50:7 | | And the earth, We have made it plain and cast in it mountains and We have made to grow therein of all beautiful kinds |
| 50:8 | | To give sight and as a reminder to every servant who turns frequently (to Allah) |
| 50:9 | | And We send down from the cloud 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 spadices closely set 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 | | (Others) before them rejected (prophets): the people of Nuh and the dwellers of Ar-Rass and Samood |
| 50:13 | | And Ad and Firon and Lut's brethren |
| 50:14 | | And the dwellers of the grove and the people of Tuba; all rejected the messengers, so My threat came to pass |
| 50:15 | | Were We then fatigued with the first creation? Yet are they in doubt with regard to 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 will come in truth; that is what you were trying to escape |
| 50:20 | | And the trumpet shall be blown; that is the day of the threatening |
| 50:21 | | And every soul shall come, with it a driver and a witness |
| 50:22 | | Certainly you were heedless of it, but now We have removed from you your veil, so your sight today is sharp |
| 50:23 | | And his companions shall say: This is what is ready with me |
| 50:24 | | Do 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 do cast him into severe chastisement |
| 50:27 | | His companion will say: Our Lord! I did not lead him into inordinacy but he himself was in a great error |
| 50:28 | | He will say: Do not quarrel in My presence, and indeed I gave you the threatening beforehand |
| 50:29 | | My word shall not be changed, nor am I in the least unjust to the servants |
| 50:30 | | On the day that We will say to hell: Are you filled up? And it will say: Are there any more |
| 50:31 | | And the garden shall be brought near to those who guard (against evil), not far off |
| 50:32 | | This is what you were promised, (it is) for every one who turns frequently (to Allah), keeps (His limits) |
| 50:33 | | Who fears the Beneficent Allah in secret and comes with a penitent heart |
| 50:34 | | Enter it in peace, that is the day of abiding |
| 50:35 | | They have therein what they wish and with Us is more yet |
| 50:36 | | And how many a generation did We destroy before them who were mightier in prowess than they, so they went about and about in the lands. Is there a place of refuge |
| 50:37 | | Most 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 there touched Us not any fatigue |
| 50:39 | | Therefore be patient of what they say, and sing the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting |
| 50:40 | | And glorify Him in the night and after the prayers |
| 50:41 | | And listen on the day when the crier shall cry from a near plac |
| 50:42 | | The day when they shall 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 on which the earth shall cleave asunder under them, they will make haste; that is a gathering together easy to Us |
| 50:45 | | We know best what they say, and you are not one to compel them; therefore remind him by means of the Quran who fears My threat |
