| 50:1 | | Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'aan, [We swear its authenticity] |
| 50:2 | | But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner [from Allah] from among themselves. So the suppressors of the Truth say, "This is a strange thing!" |
| 50:3 | | "What! When we die and have become dust, (shall we rise again to life?) That is a return far [from being ever possible]!" |
| 50:4 | | We do know what the earth takes away from them. And with Us is a record protected |
| 50:5 | | But they deny the Truth when it comes to them. And so they are in a confused state of mind |
| 50:6 | | Do they not look at the sky above them — how We have made it and adorned it, and see that there are no cracks in it |
| 50:7 | | And We have spread out the earth and cast mountains into it. And We have caused every kind of beautiful spouse of herbage grow in it |
| 50:8 | | To be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning to Allah |
| 50:9 | | And We send down from the sky rain as a blessing, and We produce therewith gardens and seed for the harves |
| 50:10 | | And tall palm-trees, with shoots of fruit-stalks, piled one over anothe |
| 50:11 | | A provision for (Allah's) subjects. And We give life therewith [with rain] to land that is dead. Thus will the coming out of the dead from their graves [Resurrection] be |
| 50:12 | | [Resurrection] was denied before them by the People of Noah, the Companions of the Rass, and the Thamood |
| 50:13 | | And of AAad, of Pharaoh, the brethren of Lot |
| 50:14 | | The Companions of the Wood, and the People of Tubba' (an ancient tribe) — all of them rejected the Messengers, and My warning (to them) was duly fulfilled |
| 50:15 | | Were We then weary with the first Creation that they should be in such a confused state of mind about a new Creation! |
| 50:16 | | And We did create man, and We know the promptings of his own self. And We are closer to him than any bodily channel having access into his brain |
| 50:17 | | When the two frequently confronting voices, one located on the right and one on the left, confront each othe |
| 50:18 | | He utters not a word but is there a sentinel by him, ready [to record it] |
| 50:19 | | And the pangs of death will bring the Truth home to him. "This was the thing you kept away from!" |
| 50:20 | | And then the Trumpet is blown — there then is the Day promised |
| 50:21 | | And every soul comes forth accompanied by a driver and a witness |
| 50:22 | | "You were careless about this. Now that We have taken off your cover from you, strong is your eyesight this Day!" |
| 50:23 | | And his Companion [witness] says, "It's ready here — what in my hand is [man's record]!" |
| 50:24 | | "Throw into Hell every stubborn suppressor of evidence proving existence of Allah [with attributes as given in the Qur'aan]!" |
| 50:25 | | "Who was forbidding what was good, transgressing all bounds, and casting doubts and suspicions." |
| 50:26 | | "Who had set up other god/s besides Allah! So throw him into the severe punishment." |
| 50:27 | | His Companion says, "Our Lord! I did not make him transgress, but he was (himself) gone far astray." |
| 50:28 | | He [Allah] says, "Quarrel not in My Presence; and I did send you the warning in advance." |
| 50:29 | | "No alteration in the Word with Me, and I am never unjust to My subjects." |
| 50:30 | | That Day We ask Hell, "Are you full?" And it asks, "Are there any more?" |
| 50:31 | | And the Garden [of Paradise] is brought near for the pious and righteous, and it is no longer a distant objective [for them. |
| 50:32 | | "This is what you were promised. [And this is what was promised] to every one who turned (to Allah in sincere repentance) and protected (himself against satanic influence. |
| 50:33 | | Who feared the Gracious One without physically seeing Him with worldly eyes, and has come with a mind turned in devotion (to Him) |
| 50:34 | | "Enter therein [in Paradise] in Peace and Security; this is time of eternal life!" |
| 50:35 | | There is for them therein all that they desire. And [there is besides] much more with Us |
| 50:36 | | And how many a generation before them, stronger in power than they, did We destroy! They had wandered through the lands in search of a place of escape! |
| 50:37 | | Certainly indeed in this is a lesson to learn for any who has an understanding mind or who lends an insightful ear |
| 50:38 | | We created the heavens and the earth and all things in between in six periods of time. And weariness did not even touch Us |
| 50:39 | | Have patience, then, over what they say, and glorify your Lord with praise, before the rising of the sun and before its setting |
| 50:40 | | And glorify Him during parts of the night, and post prostrations |
| 50:41 | | And listen the Day when the Caller calls out from a place quite near, &mdash |
| 50:42 | | The Day when they hear a real mighty Blast — that is the Day of Resurrection |
| 50:43 | | It is indeed We Who give life and cause death; and to Us is the final destination |
| 50:44 | | That Day the earth swiftly separates from them. That gathering — it is easy for Us |
| 50:45 | | We know what they say! And you are not to be coercive on them. So admonish with the Qur'an such as fear My Warning |
