| 50:1 | | Qaf. By the Majestic Quran. |
| 50:2 | | How is it that they are surprised that a warner has come from among them? The disbelievers say, “This is a strange thing! |
| 50:3 | | When we are dead and turned into dust will we be returned; a far-fetched idea.” |
| 50:4 | | Indeed, We know what the Earth consumes of their bodies. We have a Book in which everything is carefully recorded. |
| 50:5 | | In fact, they denied the truth when it came to them because they are confused |
| 50:6 | | Haven’t they looked at the sky above them, how We made it beautiful and flawless, |
| 50:7 | | and the earth how We spread it out and firmly set mountains on it, and produced all kinds of beneficial plants there? |
| 50:8 | | They offer an insightful lesson and a reminder for every human being who willingly turns to Allah. |
| 50:9 | | And how We sent down blessed water from the sky, and with it We grow gardens and crops that are harvested, |
| 50:10 | | and tall palm trees loaded with clusters of dates – |
| 50:11 | | a sustenance for people, and that is how We bring a dead place back to life with rain. The coming out of graves will be like that too |
| 50:12 | | Previously the truth was denied by the people of Nuh, the Rass, Thamud, |
| 50:13 | | Ad, Pharaoh and the brothers of Lut, |
| 50:14 | | the people of Iekah and Tubba. All of them denied the messengers, and so what they were threatened with actually happened to them. |
| 50:15 | | Has the first creation tired Us out? Not at all, but they are doubtful about the possibility of a new creation |
| 50:16 | | We created humans, and know exactly what their desires urge them to do; in fact, We are nearer to them than their jugular vein. |
| 50:17 | | When the two recording angels, one sitting on their right and the other on their left, record. |
| 50:18 | | Not a word they speak goes unrecorded by a vigilant observer. |
| 50:19 | | Death throes will bring the truth with it: “This is what you tried to escape.” |
| 50:20 | | The Trumpet will be blown; that is the Day you were warned about. |
| 50:21 | | Everyone will be escorted by an angel and a witness. |
| 50:22 | | They will be told: “You paid no attention to this Day, and We removed your veil, so today your sight is razor-sharp.” |
| 50:23 | | Their lifelong companion will say, “I prepared, this file of yours. |
| 50:24 | | “Throw him into Hell, every rebellious disbeliever, |
| 50:25 | | everyone who obstructed others from good, every aggressor, every doubter |
| 50:26 | | who had set up other gods with Allah. So throw him into the terrible punishment.” |
| 50:27 | | His devil companion will say, “Our Lord, I didn’t lead him to evil; he had already gone far astray.” |
| 50:28 | | Allah will say to them, “Do not squabble in My presence; I sent you a warning. |
| 50:29 | | My Word does not change, and I am not unjust to any creature.” |
| 50:30 | | Remember the Day I shall ask Hell, “Are you full?” It will reply, “Are there more? |
| 50:31 | | Paradise will be brought near the righteous; it won’t be far away from them. |
| 50:32 | | This is what you were promised; it is for the one who turned to Allah, and was ever mindful of Him. |
| 50:33 | | The one who feared Al-Rahman without ever seeing Him and came with a devout heart, |
| 50:34 | | he shall be told: “Enter Paradise peacefully, for this is the Everlasting Day.” |
| 50:35 | | They will have anything they want there, and We will have much more for them |
| 50:36 | | We destroyed people in the past who were far stronger than them; they used to travel everywhere – did they escape? |
| 50:37 | | In this is a reminder for anyone who has a heart, or listens attentively. |
| 50:38 | | We created the Heavens and the Earth and what lies between them in six days only, and We were not tired. |
| 50:39 | | So bear patiently what they say. Glorify and praise your Lord before the sunrise and sunset, |
| 50:40 | | and during the night, and glorify him after the set prayers too |
| 50:41 | | Listen carefully about the Day when the caller from nearby will call out, |
| 50:42 | | when people hear a Blast. That shall be the Day of the coming out of graves. |
| 50:43 | | We give life and death, and the Final Return will be to Us. |
| 50:44 | | The Day when the Earth will split open, letting them rush out, that gathering will be easy for Us. |
| 50:45 | | We know well what they say, and you can’t force them to believe. So keep reminding through the Quran anyone who fears My Warning |
