| 50:1 | | Qaf. By the glorious Quran. |
| 50:2 | | But rather they wondered that there has come to them a warner from among themselves. And the infidels said, 'this is a strange thing.' |
| 50:3 | | Will when we be dead and become dust, we be raised again to life? This return is remote. |
| 50:4 | | We know what the earth diminishes for them; and with Us is a Book preserving. |
| 50:5 | | But rather they belied the truth when it came to them and so they are in a state of confusion. |
| 50:6 | | Have they not looked up to the sky above them, how We have built it and adorned it and that there is no rift therein |
| 50:7 | | And the earth We have spread it out, and placed there in anchors of mountains and caused to grow therein every beautiful pair |
| 50:8 | | An insight and understanding for every returning bondman. |
| 50:9 | | And We sent down out of heaven blessed water and We caused to grow thereby gardens and the grain that is harvested |
| 50:10 | | And tall palm trees with spathes piled one over another |
| 50:11 | | As a provision for bondmen and We thereby revived a dead city. Thus is your coming out from the graves. |
| 50:12 | | Belied before them the people of Nuh and the men of Rass and Thamud; |
| 50:13 | | And the Aad, Firawan and the compatriots of Lut, |
| 50:14 | | And the men of wood and the people of Tubba. Every one of them belied the Messengers and so the promise of My torment was proved. |
| 50:15 | | Have We then become weary by making for the first time? Nay, but rather they are in doubt regarding a new making. |
| 50:16 | | And indeed We created man and We know what his soul whispers within him, and We are nearer to him than even his jugular vein. |
| 50:17 | | When the two receivers receive from him, one sitting on the right side and another at the left. |
| 50:18 | | Not a word he utters but there is sitting a watcher ready by him. |
| 50:19 | | And there has come the stupor of death with truth. This is from which you were trying to run. |
| 50:20 | | And the Trumpet was blown. This is the Day of the torment promised. |
| 50:21 | | And every soul came forth in this manner that with it there was a driver and a witness. |
| 50:22 | | Assuredly, you were heedless of this, therefore We have removed from you the covering, so today your sight is sharp. |
| 50:23 | | And his companion angel said, 'this is what is ready with me'. |
| 50:24 | | It will be commanded cast you, twain into Hell every ungrateful, obstinate. |
| 50:25 | | Who is hinderer of the good transgressor, doubter. |
| 50:26 | | Who has set up any other God with Allah so you twain cast him into the severe torment. |
| 50:27 | | His associate devil said, 'Our Lord,' I did not make him contumacious, yes, he was himself in a tar off error'. |
| 50:28 | | He will say, 'dispute not before Me' for I had already warned you of the torment' |
| 50:29 | | The word is not changed with Me, nor I wrong My bondmen. |
| 50:30 | | The day when We shall say to Hell, 'are you filled up'? It will say, 'is some thing more'? |
| 50:31 | | The paradise shall be brought near to the pious that it shall be not far off from them. |
| 50:32 | | This is what is promised to you for every pertinent, watchful. |
| 50:33 | | Whoever feared the All Affectionate in the unseen and came to Him with a pertinent heart. |
| 50:34 | | It will be said to them, 'Enter the Paradise in peace'. This is the day of Eternity. |
| 50:35 | | For them there is whatever they desire and with Us there is yet more than that. |
| 50:36 | | How many a generation We destroyed before them that they were stronger in velour than they, then they searched about in the cities. Is there any place of refuge? |
| 50:37 | | Undoubtedly, there is admonition in it for him who has a heart or who gives ear and be heedful. |
| 50:38 | | Surely, We made the heavens and the land and what ever is in between in six days and weariness came not to Us. |
| 50:39 | | Therefore be patient over what they say, and sanctify your Lord praising Him before the rising of the sun and before its setting. |
| 50:40 | | And sanctify Him in the late night and after prayers. |
| 50:41 | | And listen attentively, the day when the caller will call from a place nearby. |
| 50:42 | | The day when they will hear the uproar in truth. This is the day of coming forth from the graves. |
| 50:43 | | Undoubtedly, We give life and cause death and to Us is the return. |
| 50:44 | | The day when the earth will cleave as under from them and they will come out hastening. This is the gathering, quite easy for Us. |
| 50:45 | | We are knowing well what they are saying and you are not a tyrant over them, therefore admonish by Quran him who fears My threat |
