| 50:1 | | Qaf By the glorious Quran |
| 50:2 | | Indeed, they are astonished that a warner should have come to them from among themselves. So these deniers of the truth say, This is indeed a strange thing |
| 50:3 | | to come back to life after we have died and become dust? That is most improbable |
| 50:4 | | We know very well what the earth takes away from them: We hold a book which records all things |
| 50:5 | | But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a state of confusion |
| 50:6 | | Have they not observed the sky above them and marked how We have built it and adorned it, leaving no flaws in it |
| 50:7 | | We spread out the earth and set upon it solid mountains and We brought forth from it all kinds of delightful plants |
| 50:8 | | as a lesson and reminder for every human being who turns to God |
| 50:9 | | and We have sent down from the sky blessed water with which We have brought forth gardens and grain to be harvested |
| 50:10 | | and tall palm-trees with their thickly-clustered dates |
| 50:11 | | as a provision for human beings; and by [all] this We bring dead land to life. Such shall be the Resurrection |
| 50:12 | | Before them, the people of Noah and the people of Rass denied this truth; and so did the people 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: every one denied their messengers, and so My warning came true |
| 50:15 | | Were We then worn out by the first creation? Yet they are in doubt about a second creation |
| 50:16 | | We created man We know the promptings of his soul, and are closer to him than his jugular vei |
| 50:17 | | and the two recording angels are recording, sitting on the right and the left |
| 50:18 | | each word he utters shall be noted down by a vigilant guardian |
| 50:19 | | The trance of death will come revealing the truth: that is what you were trying to escape |
| 50:20 | | The trumpet will be sounded. This is the Day [you were] warned of |
| 50:21 | | Each person will arrive attended by an [angel] to drive him on and another to bear witness |
| 50:22 | | You were heedless of this, but now We have removed your veil, so your sight today is sharp |
| 50:23 | | His companion attendant will say, I have here his record ready |
| 50:24 | | Cast into Hell every ungrateful, rebellious one |
| 50:25 | | hinderer of good, transgressor, causing others to doubt |
| 50:26 | | who has set up another god besides God: cast him into severe punishmen |
| 50:27 | | and his associate [Satan] will say, Lord, I did not make him transgress, he had already gone far astray himself |
| 50:28 | | God will say, Do not quarrel in My presence. I gave you the warning beforehan |
| 50:29 | | and My word shall not be changed, nor am I unjust to My servants |
| 50:30 | | On that Day, We shall ask Hell, Are you now full? Hell will answer, Are there any more |
| 50:31 | | Paradise will be brought near to the righteous and will no longer be far away |
| 50:32 | | This is what you were promisedthis is for everyone who often turned to God and kept Him in mind |
| 50:33 | | who fears the Compassionate One, though He is unseen, and comes to Him with a penitent heart |
| 50:34 | | so enter it in peace. This is the Day of everlasting life |
| 50:35 | | There they shall have all that they desire, and there is even more with Us |
| 50:36 | | How many a generation, far greater in prowess, have We destroyed before them! They searched the entire land: but could they find a refuge |
| 50:37 | | There is truly a reminder in this for whoever has a heart, whoever listens attentively |
| 50:38 | | We created the heavens, the earth, and everything between them in six days [periods] nor were We ever wearied |
| 50:39 | | So bear with patience what they say, and glorify your Lord with His praise, before the rising and before the setting of the sun |
| 50:40 | | proclaim His praise in the night and at the end of every prayer |
| 50:41 | | Hearken! The Day when the caller will call from near |
| 50:42 | | The Day when men will hear the fateful cry, they will rise up [from their graves] |
| 50:43 | | Truly, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us shall all retur |
| 50:44 | | on the Day the earth will be rent asunder over them, and from it they shall emerge in haste. To assemble them all is easy enough for Us |
| 50:45 | | We know best what those who deny the truth say. You are not there to force them: so remind, with this Quran, those who fear My warning |
