| 50:1 | | Qaf By the glorious Quran |
| 50:2 | | But the disbelievers are amazed that a warner has come from among them and they say, ‘How strange |
| 50:3 | | To come back [to life] after we have died and become dust? That is too farfetched.&rsquo |
| 50:4 | | We know very well what the earth takes away from them: We keep a comprehensive record |
| 50:5 | | But the disbelievers deny the truth when it comes to them; they are in a state of confusion |
| 50:6 | | Do they not see the sky above them––how We have built and adorned it, with no rifts in it |
| 50:7 | | how We spread out the earth and put solid mountains on it, and caused every kind of joyous plant to grow in it |
| 50:8 | | as a lesson and reminder for every servant who turns to God |
| 50:9 | | and how We send blessed water down from the sky and grow with it gardens, the harvest grain |
| 50:10 | | and tall palm trees laden with clusters of dates |
| 50:11 | | as a provision for everyone; how with water We give [new] life to a land that is dead? This is how the dead will emerge [from their graves] |
| 50:12 | | The people of Noah disbelieved long before these disbelievers, as did the people of Rass, Thamud |
| 50:13 | | Ad, Pharaoh, Lot |
| 50:14 | | the Forest-Dwellers, Tubba: all of these people disbelieved their messengers, and so My warning was realized |
| 50:15 | | So were We incapable of the first creation? No indeed! Yet they doubt a second creation |
| 50:16 | | We created man––We know what his soul whispers to him: We are closer to him than his jugular vein–&ndash |
| 50:17 | | with two receptors set to record, one on his right side and one on his left |
| 50:18 | | he does not utter a single word without an ever-present watcher |
| 50:19 | | The trance of death will bring the Truth with it: ‘This is what you tried to escape.&rsquo |
| 50:20 | | The Trumpet will be sounded: ‘This is the Day [you were] warned of.&rsquo |
| 50:21 | | Each person will arrive attended by an [angel] to drive him on and another to bear witness |
| 50:22 | | ‘You paid no attention to this [Day]; but today We have removed your veil and your sight is sharp.&rsquo |
| 50:23 | | The person’s attendant will say, ‘Here is what I have prepared’ |
| 50:24 | | ‘Hurl every obstinate disbeliever into Hell |
| 50:25 | | everyone who hindered good, was aggressive, caused others to doubt |
| 50:26 | | and set up other gods alongside God. Hurl him into severe punishment!’ |
| 50:27 | | and his [evil] companion will say, ‘Lord, I did not make him transgress; he had already gone far astray himself.&rsquo |
| 50:28 | | God will say, ‘Do not argue in My presence. I sent you a warnin |
| 50:29 | | and My word cannot be changed: I am not unjust to any creature.&rsquo |
| 50:30 | | We shall say to Hell on that day, ‘Are you full?’ and it will reply, ‘Are there no more?&rsquo |
| 50:31 | | But Paradise will be brought close to the righteous and will no longer be distant |
| 50:32 | | ‘This is what you were promised––this is for everyone who turned often to God and kept Him in mind |
| 50:33 | | who held the Most Gracious in awe, though He is unseen, who comes before Him with a heart turned to Him in devotion |
| 50:34 | | so enter it in peace. This is the Day of everlasting Life.&rsquo |
| 50:35 | | They will have all that they wish for there, and We have more for them |
| 50:36 | | We have destroyed even mightier generations before these disbelievers, who travelled through [many] lands- was there any escape |
| 50:37 | | There truly is a reminder in this for whoever has a heart, whoever listens attentively |
| 50:38 | | We created the heavens, the earth, and everything between, in six Days without tiring |
| 50:39 | | So [Prophet], bear everything they say with patience; celebrate the praise of your Lord before the rising and setting of the sun |
| 50:40 | | proclaim His praise in the night and at the end of every prayer |
| 50:41 | | listen out for the Day when the caller will call from a nearby place |
| 50:42 | | They will come out [from their graves] on that Day, the Day when they hear the mighty blast in reality |
| 50:43 | | It is We who give life and death; the final return will be to U |
| 50:44 | | on the Day when the earth will be torn apart, letting them rush out- that gathering will be easy for Us |
| 50:45 | | We know best what the disbelievers say. You [Prophet] are not there to force them, so remind, with this Quran, those who fear My warning |
