Sura 50: QAF (THE LETTER QAF) - Juz' 26 - Translation Qarib

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
ق وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ ﴿۱﴾
Qaaf. By the Glorious Koran! (1)
بَلْ عَجِبُوا أَنْ جَاءَهُمْ مُنْذِرٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ هَذَا شَيْءٌ عَجِيبٌ ﴿۲﴾
No, but they marvel that from among themselves a warner has come to them. The unbelievers say (in mockery): 'This is a marvelous thing! (2)
أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ذَلِكَ رَجْعٌ بَعِيدٌ ﴿۳﴾
What, when we are dead and turned to dust? That indeed would be an unlikely return! ' (3)
قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنْقُصُ الْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ وَعِنْدَنَا كِتَابٌ حَفِيظٌ ﴿۴﴾
We know all that the earth takes away of them, and a Book of Records is with Us. (4)
بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِي أَمْرٍ مَرِيجٍ ﴿۵﴾
Rather, they belied the truth when it came to them, and now they are in a state of confusion. (5)
أَفَلَمْ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَاهَا وَزَيَّنَّاهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِنْ فُرُوجٍ ﴿۶﴾
What, have they never observed the heaven above them, (and seen) how We built and adorned it, leaving no crack? (6)
وَالْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ بَهِيجٍ ﴿۷﴾
We spread out the earth and set upon it firm mountains, and We cause every delightful thing to grow in it (7)
تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرَى لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُنِيبٍ ﴿۸﴾
as a lesson and a reminder to every penitent worshiper. (8)
وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً مُبَارَكًا فَأَنْبَتْنَا بِهِ جَنَّاتٍ وَحَبَّ الْحَصِيدِ ﴿۹﴾
We sent down blessed water from the sky with which We caused gardens and the grains of harvest to grow, (9)
وَالنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَاتٍ لَهَا طَلْعٌ نَضِيدٌ ﴿۱۰﴾
and tall palmtrees with compact spathes (10)
رِزْقًا لِلْعِبَادِ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَيْتًا كَذَلِكَ الْخُرُوجُ ﴿۱۱﴾
as a provision for the worshipers; thereby We revived a land that was dead. Such shall be the emerging. (11)
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَأَصْحَابُ الرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ ﴿۱۲﴾
Before them, the nation of Noah, the nation of ArRass belied and so did Thamood (12)
وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَانُ لُوطٍ ﴿۱۳﴾
and Aad, Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot, (13)
وَأَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ كُلٌّ كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ ﴿۱۴﴾
the dwellers of the Thicket and the nation of Tubba', all belied their Messengers, therefore My threat was realized. (14)
أَفَعَيِينَا بِالْخَلْقِ الْأَوَّلِ بَلْ هُمْ فِي لَبْسٍ مِنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ ﴿۱۵﴾
What, were We wearied by the first creation? No, indeed; yet they are in doubt about a new creation. (15)
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ ﴿۱۶﴾
Indeed, We created the human. We know the whisperings of his soul, and are closer to him than the jugular vein. (16)
إِذْ يَتَلَقَّى الْمُتَلَقِّيَانِ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٌ ﴿۱۷﴾
When both receivers (the angels) receive, one on his right, the other on his left, (17)
مَا يَلْفِظُ مِنْ قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌ ﴿۱۸﴾
whatever phrase he utters, an observer is present. (18)
وَجَاءَتْ سَكْرَةُ الْمَوْتِ بِالْحَقِّ ذَلِكَ مَا كُنْتَ مِنْهُ تَحِيدُ ﴿۱۹﴾
And when the agony of death comes in truth (they will say): 'This is what you have been trying to avoid! ' (19)
وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الْوَعِيدِ ﴿۲۰﴾
And the Horn shall be blown; that is the Day of Threat! (20)
وَجَاءَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَعَهَا سَائِقٌ وَشَهِيدٌ ﴿۲۱﴾
Each soul shall come with a driver, and a witness. (21)
لَقَدْ كُنْتَ فِي غَفْلَةٍ مِنْ هَذَا فَكَشَفْنَا عَنْكَ غِطَاءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ الْيَوْمَ حَدِيدٌ ﴿۲۲﴾
(It will be said): 'Of this you have been heedless. Therefore, we have now removed your covering. Today your sight is sharp. ' (22)
وَقَالَ قَرِينُهُ هَذَا مَا لَدَيَّ عَتِيدٌ ﴿۲۳﴾
And his companion will say: 'This is that which I have present. ' (23)
أَلْقِيَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ ﴿۲۴﴾
(It will be said): 'Indeed, cast into Gehenna (Hell) every deviating unbeliever, (24)
مَنَّاعٍ لِلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ مُرِيبٍ ﴿۲۵﴾
forbidder of good, transgressor and doubter, (25)
الَّذِي جَعَلَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ فَأَلْقِيَاهُ فِي الْعَذَابِ الشَّدِيدِ ﴿۲۶﴾
who has set up with Allah another god. Indeed, you two, cast him into the terrible punishment. ' (26)
قَالَ قَرِينُهُ رَبَّنَا مَا أَطْغَيْتُهُ وَلَكِنْ كَانَ فِي ضَلَالٍ بَعِيدٍ ﴿۲۷﴾
And his companion shall say: 'Our Lord, I did not make him insolent, he was far astray. ' (27)
قَالَ لَا تَخْتَصِمُوا لَدَيَّ وَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِالْوَعِيدِ ﴿۲۸﴾
He (Allah) will say: 'Do not dispute before Me. I sent you a warning beforehand. (28)
مَا يُبَدَّلُ الْقَوْلُ لَدَيَّ وَمَا أَنَا بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ ﴿۲۹﴾
The Word cannot be changed with Me; I do not wrong My worshipers. ' (29)
يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ امْتَلَأْتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ ﴿۳۰﴾
On that Day We shall ask Gehenna: 'Are you full? ' And it will answer: 'Are there any more? ' (30)
وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ ﴿۳۱﴾
And Paradise, which is not far away, shall be brought closer to those who were cautious. (31)
هَذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍ ﴿۳۲﴾
(It shall be said to them): 'This is that you were promised. It is for every heeding penitent. (32)
مَنْ خَشِيَ الرَّحْمَنَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَجَاءَ بِقَلْبٍ مُنِيبٍ ﴿۳۳﴾
Whosoever fears the Merciful in the Unseen, and comes with a contrite heart. (33)
ادْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَامٍ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُلُودِ ﴿۳۴﴾
Enter it in peace. This is the Day of Eternity! ' (34)
لَهُمْ مَا يَشَاءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌ ﴿۳۵﴾
There they have all that they desire, and with Us is much more. (35)
وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ بَطْشًا فَنَقَّبُوا فِي الْبِلَادِ هَلْ مِنْ مَحِيصٍ ﴿۳۶﴾
How many generations, stronger in might than they have We destroyed before them! They searched the land, could they find any asylum? (36)
إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَذِكْرَى لِمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ قَلْبٌ أَوْ أَلْقَى السَّمْعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ ﴿۳۷﴾
Surely, in this there is a Reminder for he who has a heart or listens attentively while witnessing. (37)
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِنْ لُغُوبٍ ﴿۳۸﴾
In six days We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them and no weariness touched Us! (38)
فَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ الْغُرُوبِ ﴿۳۹﴾
Bear then with patience what they say. Exalt with the praise of your Lord before sunrise and before sunset. (39)
وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَأَدْبَارَ السُّجُودِ ﴿۴۰﴾
And exalt Him in the night, and at the ends of the prostrations. (40)
وَاسْتَمِعْ يَوْمَ يُنَادِ الْمُنَادِ مِنْ مَكَانٍ قَرِيبٍ ﴿۴۱﴾
Listen for the Day when the Caller will call from a nearby place. (41)
يَوْمَ يَسْمَعُونَ الصَّيْحَةَ بِالْحَقِّ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُرُوجِ ﴿۴۲﴾
On the Day when they will hear the Shout, in truth that Day they will emerge. (42)
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِي وَنُمِيتُ وَإِلَيْنَا الْمَصِيرُ ﴿۴۳﴾
It is We who give life and make to die. To Us is the arrival. (43)
يَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ الْأَرْضُ عَنْهُمْ سِرَاعًا ذَلِكَ حَشْرٌ عَلَيْنَا يَسِيرٌ ﴿۴۴﴾
Upon that Day the earth will be rent asunder from around them as they hurry forth that is an easy gathering for Us. (44)
نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ وَمَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِجَبَّارٍ فَذَكِّرْ بِالْقُرْآنِ مَنْ يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ ﴿۴۵﴾
Indeed, We know what they say. You (Prophet Muhammad) are not a tyrant over them. Therefore, remind by the Koran whosoever fears (My) threat. (45)
