050 : Qaf
50:1
Qaf: By the Glorious Qur'an (Thou art Allah's Messenger).
50:2
But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from
among themselves. So the Unbelievers say: "This is a wonderful thing!
50:3
"What! When we die and become dust, (shall we live again?)
That is a (sort of) return far (from our understanding)."
50:4
We already know how much of them the earth takes away: With Us
is a record guarding (the full account).
50:5
But they deny the Truth when it comes to them: so they are in
a confused state.
50:6
Do they not look at the sky above them?- How We have made it
and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?
50:7
And the earth- We have spread it out, and set thereon
mountains standing firm, and produced therein every kind of beautiful
growth (in pairs)-
50:8
To be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning (to
Allah).
50:9
And We send down from the sky rain charted with blessing, and
We produce therewith gardens and Grain for harvests;
50:10
And tall (and stately) palm-trees, with shoots of
fruit-stalks, piled one over another;-
50:11
As sustenance for (Allah's) Servants;- and We give (new) life
therewith to land that is dead: Thus will be the Resurrection.
50:12
Before them was denied (the Hereafter) by the People of Noah,
the Companions of the Rass, the Thamud,
50:13
The 'Ad, Pharaoh, the brethren of Lut,
50:14
The Companions of the Wood, and the People of Tubba'; each one
(of them) rejected the messengers, and My warning was duly fulfilled (in
them).
50:15
Were We then weary with the first Creation, that they should
be in confused doubt about a new Creation?
50:16
It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions
his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein.
50:17
Behold, two (guardian angels) appointed to learn (his doings)
learn (and noted them), one sitting on the right and one on the left.
50:18
Not a word does he utter but there is a sentinel by him, ready
(to note it).
50:19
And the stupor of death will bring Truth (before his eyes):
"This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!"
50:20
And the Trumpet shall be blown: that will be the Day whereof
Warning (had been given).
50:21
And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an
(angel) to drive, and an (angel) to bear witness.
50:22
(It will be said:) "Thou wast heedless of this; now have We
removed thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this Day!"
50:23
And his Companion will say: "Here is (his Record) ready with
me!"
50:24
(The sentence will be:) "Throw, throw into Hell every
contumacious Rejecter (of Allah)!-
50:25
"Who forbade what was good, transgressed all bounds, cast
doubts and suspicions;
50:26
"Who set up another god beside Allah: Throw him into a severe
penalty."
50:27
His Companion will say: "Our Lord! I did not make him
transgress, but he was (himself) far astray."
50:28
He will say: "Dispute not with each other in My Presence: I
had already in advance sent you Warning.
50:29
"The Word changes not before Me, and I do not the least
injustice to My Servants."
50:30
One Day We will ask Hell, "Art thou filled to the full?" It
will say, "Are there any more (to come)?"
50:31
And the Garden will be brought nigh to the Righteous,- no more
a thing distant.
50:32
(A voice will say:) "This is what was promised for you,- for
every one who turned (to Allah) in sincere repentance, who kept (His Law),
50:33
"Who feared (Allah) Most Gracious Unseen, and brought a heart
turned in devotion (to Him):
50:34
"Enter ye therein in Peace and Security; this is a Day of
Eternal Life!"
50:35
There will be for them therein all that they wish,- and more
besides in Our Presence.
50:36
But how many generations before them did We destroy (for their
sins),- stronger in power than they? Then did they wander through the land:
was there any place of escape (for them)?
50:37
Verily in this is a Message for any that has a heart and
understanding or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses (the truth).
50:38
We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in
Six Days, nor did any sense of weariness touch Us.
50:39
Bear, then, with patience, all that they say, and celebrate
the praises of thy Lord, before the rising of the sun and before (its)
setting.
50:40
And during part of the night, (also,) celebrate His praises,
and (so likewise) after the postures of adoration.
50:41
And listen for the Day when the Caller will call out from a
place quiet near,-
50:42
The Day when they will hear a (mighty) Blast in (very) truth:
that will be the Day of Resurrection.
50:43
Verily it is We Who give Life and Death; and to Us is the
Final Goal-
50:44
The Day when the Earth will be rent asunder, from (men)
hurrying out: that will be a gathering together,- quite easy for Us.
50:45
We know best what they say; and thou art not one to overawe
them by force. So admonish with the Qur'an such as fear My Warning!
