Qaf. I swear by the glorious Quran (that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.)
|
2. |
Nay! they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, so the unbelievers say: This is a wonderful thing:
|
3. |
What! when we are dead and have become dust? That is afar (from probable) return.
|
4. |
We know indeed what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a writing that preserves.
|
5. |
Nay, they rejected the truth when it came to them, so they are (now) in a state of confusion.
|
6. |
Do they not then look up to heaven above them how We have made it and adorned it and it has no gaps?
|
7. |
And the earth, We have made it plain and cast in it mountains and We have made to grow therein of all beautiful kinds,
|
8. |
To give sight and as a reminder to every servant who turns frequently (to Allah).
|
9. |
And We send down from the cloud water abounding in good, then We cause to grow thereby gardens and the grain that is reaped,
|
10. |
And the tall palm-trees having spadices closely set one above another,
|
11. |
A sustenance for the servants, and We give life thereby to a dead land; thus is the rising.
|
12. |
(Others) before them rejected (prophets): the people of Nuh and the dwellers of Ar-Rass and Samood,
|
13. |
And Ad and Firon and Lut's brethren,
|
14. |
And the dwellers of the grove and the people of Tuba; all rejected the apostles, so My threat came to pass.
|
15. |
Were We then fatigued with the first creation? Yet are they in doubt with regard to a new creation.
|
16. |
And certainly We created man, and We know what his mind suggests to him, and We are nearer to him than his life-vein.
|
17. |
When the two receivers receive, sitting on the right and on the left.
|
18. |
He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher at hand.
|
19. |
And the stupor of death will come in truth; that is what you were trying to escape.
|
20. |
And the trumpet shall be blown; that is the day of the threatening.
|
21. |
And every soul shall come, with it a driver and a witness.
|
22. |
Certainly you were heedless of it, but now We have removed from you your veil, so your sight today is sharp.
|
23. |
And his companions shall say: This is what is ready with me.
|
24. |
Do cast into hell every ungrateful, rebellious one,
|
25. |
Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter,
|
26. |
Who sets up another god with Allah, so do cast him into severe chastisement.
|
27. |
His companion will say: Our Lord! I did not lead him into inordinacy but he himself was in a great error.
|
28. |
He will say: Do not quarrel in My presence, and indeed I gave you the threatening beforehand:
|
29. |
My word shall not be changed, nor am I in the least unjust to the servants.
|
30. |
On the day that We will say to hell: Are you filled up? And it will say: Are there any more?
|
31. |
And the garden shall be brought near to those who guard (against evil), not far off:
|
32. |
This is what you were promised, (it is) for every one who turns frequently (to Allah), keeps (His limits);
|
33. |
Who fears the Beneficent God in secret and comes with a penitent heart:
|
34. |
Enter it in peace, that is the day of abiding.
|
35. |
They have therein what they wish and with Us is more yet.
|
36. |
And how many a generation did We destroy before them who were mightier in prowess than they, so they went about and about in the lands. Is there a place of refuge?
|
37. |
Most surely there is a reminder in this for him who has a heart or he gives ear and is a witness.
|
38. |
And certainly We created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six periods and there touched Us not any fatigue.
|
39. |
Therefore be patient of what they say, and sing the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting.
|
40. |
And glorify Him in the night and after the prayers.
|
41. |
And listen on the day when the crier shall cry from a near place
|
42. |
The day when they shall hear the cry in truth; that is the day of coming forth.
|
43. |
Surely We give life and cause to die, and to Us is the eventual coming;
|
44. |
The day on which the earth shall cleave asunder under them, they will make haste; that is a gathering together easy to Us.
|
45. |
We know best what they say, and you are not one to compel them; therefore remind him by means of the Quran who fears My threat.
