| 50:1 | | Qaf. WE cite the glorious Qur'an (as a proof that the great Resurrection is sure to take place) |
| 50:2 | | But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, `This is a strange thing |
| 50:3 | | `What ! when we are dead and have become dust, shall we be raised up again? That is a return far from possible. |
| 50:4 | | WE know how much the earth diminishes of them and how much it adds to them, and with US is a Book that preserves everything |
| 50:5 | | Nay, they rejected the truth when it came to them, and 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 there are no flaws in it |
| 50:7 | | And the earth - WE have spread it out, and placed therein firm mountains; and WE have made to grow therein every kind of beautiful species |
| 50:8 | | As a means of enlightenment and as a reminder to every servant that turns to US |
| 50:9 | | And WE send down from the clouds water which is full of blessings, and WE produce therewith gardens and crops |
| 50:10 | | And tall palm-trees with spathes piled one above the other |
| 50:11 | | As a provision for Our servants; and WE quicken thereby a dead land. Even so shall be the Resurrection |
| 50:12 | | The people of Noah rejected the truth before them and so did the people of the Well and the tribe of Thamud |
| 50:13 | | And the tribe of AD, and Pharaoh and the brethren of Lot |
| 50:14 | | And the dwellers of the Wood, and the people of Tubba. All of them rejected the Messengers with the result that MY threatened punishment befell them |
| 50:15 | | Were WE then wearied by the first creation? Nay, but they are in confusion about the new creation |
| 50:16 | | And assuredly, WE have created man and WE know what his mind whispers to him, and WE are nearer to him than even his jugular vein |
| 50:17 | | When the two Recording angels record everything, sitting on his right and on his left |
| 50:18 | | He utters not a word but there is by him a guardian angel ready to record it |
| 50:19 | | And the stupor of death, certainly comes. `this is what thou wast striving to run from. |
| 50:20 | | And the trumpet shall be blown. That will be the Day of Promise |
| 50:21 | | And every soul shall come forth and along with it there will be an angel to bear witness |
| 50:22 | | Then WE shall say, `Thou wast heedless of this; now WE have removed from thee thy veil, and keen is thy sight this day. |
| 50:23 | | And his companion will say, `This is what I have ready of his record. |
| 50:24 | | WE shall say to his two companions, cast ye twain into Hell every disbelieving enemy of truth |
| 50:25 | | Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter |
| 50:26 | | `Who sets up another god beside ALLAH, so do, ye twain, cast him into the severe torment. |
| 50:27 | | His associate will say, `O Lord, it was not that I caused him to rebel; but he himself was too far gone in error. |
| 50:28 | | ALLAH will say, `Quarrel not in MY presence; I gave you the warning beforehand |
| 50:29 | | `The sentenced passed by ME cannot be changed, and I am not in the least unjust to MY servants. |
| 50:30 | | On that day WE will say to Hell, `Art thou filled up?' And it will answer, `Are there any more? |
| 50:31 | | And Heaven will be brought near to the righteous, no longer remote |
| 50:32 | | And it will be said, `This is what was promised to you -to every one who constantly turned to God and was watchful of his actions |
| 50:33 | | `Who feared the Gracious God in private and came to HIM with a penitent heart |
| 50:34 | | `Enter ye therein in peace. This is the Day of Eternity. |
| 50:35 | | They will have therein whatever they desire, and with US is a good deal more |
| 50:36 | | And how many a generation, who were mightier than they in prowess, have WE destroyed before them ! But when the punishment came, they went about in the lands, devising plans to escape it. But was there any place of refuge for them |
| 50:37 | | Therein, verily, is a reminder for him who has an understanding heart, or, who gives ear and is attentive |
| 50:38 | | And, verily, WE created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six periods and no weariness touched US |
| 50:39 | | So bear with patience what they say, and celebrate the praises of thy Lord, before the rising of the sun and before its setting |
| 50:40 | | And in parts of the night also do thou glorify HIM, and after the prescribed prostrations |
| 50:41 | | Hearken ! On the day when the caller will call from a place nearby |
| 50:42 | | The day when they will hear the inevitable blast; that will be the day of coming forth from the graves |
| 50:43 | | Verily, it is WE Who give life and cause death, and to US is the final return |
| 50:44 | | On the day when the earth will cleave asunder and in consequence of their misdeeds they will come forth hastening - that will be a raising up of the dead easy for US |
| 50:45 | | WE know best what they say; and thou art not to compel them in any way. So admonish, by means of the Qur'an, him who fears MY warning |
