Qaaf

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ قٓ ۚ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْمَجِيدِ ﴿1﴾

Qaaaf; wal Qur aanil Majeed

50:1Qaf. By the glorious Quran.

بَلْ عَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ ﴿2﴾

Bal 'ajibooo an jaa'ahum munzirum minhum faqaalal kaafiroona haazaa shai'un 'ajeeb

50:2Indeed they consider it odd that a warner from among themselves should have come to them. So the faithless say, ‘This is an odd thing.’

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا ۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌۢ بَعِيدٌۭ ﴿3﴾

'A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaaban zaalika raj'um ba'eed

50:3‘What! When we are dead and have become dust, [shall we be raised again]? That is a far-fetched return!’

قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَٰبٌ حَفِيظٌۢ ﴿4﴾

Qad 'alimnaa maa tanqu-sul-ardu minhum wa 'indanaa Kitaabun Hafeez

50:4We know what the earth diminishes from them, and with Us is a preserving Book.

بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِىٓ أَمْرٍۢ مَّرِيجٍ ﴿5﴾

Bal kazzaboo bilhaqqi lammaa jaaa'ahum fahum feee amrim mareej

50:5Indeed, they denied the truth when it came to them; so they are now in a perplexed state of affairs.

أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍۢ ﴿6﴾

Afalam yanzurooo ilas samaaa'i fawqahum kaifa banainaahaa wa zaiyannaahaa wa maa lahaa min furooj

50:6Have they not, then, observed the heaven above them, how We have built it and adorned it, and that there are no cracks in it?

وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيجٍۢ ﴿7﴾

Wal arda madadnaahaa wa alqainaa feehaa rawaasiya wa ambatnaa feehaa min kulli zawjim baheej

50:7And We spread out the earth, and cast in it firm mountains, and caused every delightful kind [of vegetation] to grow in it.

تَبْصِرَةًۭ وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍۢ مُّنِيبٍۢ ﴿8﴾

Tabsiratanw wa zikraa likulli 'abdim muneeb

50:8[In this there is] an insight and admonition for every penitent servant.

وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۭ مُّبَٰرَكًۭا فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَحَبَّ ٱلْحَصِيدِ ﴿9﴾

Wa nazzalnaa minas samaaa'i maaa'am mubaarakan fa ambatnaa bihee jannaatinw wa habbal haseed

50:9We send down from the sky salubrious water, with which We grow gardens and the grain which is harvested,

وَٱلنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَٰتٍۢ لَّهَا طَلْعٌۭ نَّضِيدٌۭ ﴿10﴾

Wannakhla baasiqaatil laha tal'un nadeed

50:10and tall date palms with regularly set spathes,

رِّزْقًۭا لِّلْعِبَادِ ۖ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِۦ بَلْدَةًۭ مَّيْتًۭا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْخُرُوجُ ﴿11﴾

Rizqal lil'ibaad, wa ahyainaa bihee baldatam maitaa; kazaalikal khurooj

50:11as a provision for Our servants, and with it We revive a dead country. Likewise will be the rising [from the dead].

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍۢ وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ ﴿12﴾

Kazzabat qablahum qawmu Noohinw wa Ashaabur Rassi wa Samood

50:12The people of Noah denied before them, and [so did] the people of Rass and Thamud,

وَعَادٌۭ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَٰنُ لُوطٍۢ ﴿13﴾

Wa 'Aadunw wa Fir'awnu wikhwaanu loot

50:13and ‘Ad, Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot,

وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۢ ۚ كُلٌّۭ كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ ﴿14﴾

Wa Ashaabul Aykati wa qawmu Tubba'; kullun kazzabar Rusula fahaqqa wa'eed

50:14and the inhabitants of Aykah and the people of Tubbac. Each [of them] impugned the apostles, and so My threat became due [against them].

أَفَعَيِينَا بِٱلْخَلْقِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِى لَبْسٍۢ مِّنْ خَلْقٍۢ جَدِيدٍۢ ﴿15﴾

Afa'a yeenaa bilkhalqil awwal; bal hum fee labsim min khalqin jadeed

50:15Have We been exhausted by the first creation? No, they are in doubt about a new creation.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفْسُهُۥ ۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ ٱلْوَرِيدِ ﴿16﴾

Wa laqad khalaqnal insaana wa na'lamu maa tuwaswisu bihee nafsuhoo wa Nahnu aqrabu ilaihi min hablil wareed

50:16Certainly We have created man and We know to what his soul tempts him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.

إِذْ يَتَلَقَّى ٱلْمُتَلَقِّيَانِ عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٌۭ ﴿17﴾

'Iz yatalaqqal mutalaqqi yaani 'anil yameeni wa 'anish shimaali qa'eed

50:17When the twin recorders record [his deeds], seated on the right hand and on the left:

مَّا يَلْفِظُ مِن قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌۭ ﴿18﴾

Maa yalfizu min qawlin illaa ladaihi raqeebun 'ateed

50:18he says no word but that there is a ready observer beside him.

وَجَآءَتْ سَكْرَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنتَ مِنْهُ تَحِيدُ ﴿19﴾

Wajaat sakratu almawti bialhaqqi thalika ma kunta minhu taheedu

50:19The throes of death bring the truth: ‘This is what you used to shun!’

وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلْوَعِيدِ ﴿20﴾

Wa nufikha fis Soor; zaalika yawmul wa'eed

50:20And the Trumpet will be blown: ‘This is the promised day.’

وَجَآءَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ مَّعَهَا سَآئِقٌۭ وَشَهِيدٌۭ ﴿21﴾

Wa jaaa'at kullu nafsim ma'ahaa saaa'iqunw wa shaheed

50:21Every soul will come accompanied by [two angels], a driver, and a witness:

لَّقَدْ كُنتَ فِى غَفْلَةٍۢ مِّنْ هَٰذَا فَكَشَفْنَا عَنكَ غِطَآءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ حَدِيدٌۭ ﴿22﴾

Laqad kunta fee ghaf latim min haazaa fakashafnaa 'anka ghitaaa'aka fabasarukal yawma hadeed

50:22[he will be told] ‘You were certainly oblivious of this. We have removed your veil from you, and so today your eyesight is acute.’

وَقَالَ قَرِينُهُۥ هَٰذَا مَا لَدَىَّ عَتِيدٌ ﴿23﴾

Wa qaala qareenuhoo haazaa maa ladaiya 'ateed

50:23Then his companion [angel] will say, ‘This is what is ready with me [of his record of deeds].’

أَلْقِيَا فِى جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ عَنِيدٍۢ ﴿24﴾

Alqiyaa fee Jahannama kulla kaffaarin 'aneed

50:24[The two angels accompany him will be told,] ‘Cast every obdurate ingrate into hell,

مَّنَّاعٍۢ لِّلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍۢ مُّرِيبٍ ﴿25﴾

Mannaa'il lilkhayri mu'tadim mureeb

50:25[every] hinderer of good, transgressor, and skeptic,

ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَأَلْقِيَاهُ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلشَّدِيدِ ﴿26﴾

Allazee ja'ala ma'al laahi ilaahan aakhara fa alqiyaahu fil'azaabish shadeed

50:26who had set up another god along with Allah and cast him into the severe punishment.’

۞ قَالَ قَرِينُهُۥ رَبَّنَا مَآ أَطْغَيْتُهُۥ وَلَٰكِن كَانَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍۭ بَعِيدٍۢ ﴿27﴾

Qaala qareenuhoo Rabbanaa maaa atghaituhoo wa laakin kaana fee dalaahim ba'eed

50:27His companion [devil] will say, ‘Our Lord! I did not incite him to rebel [against You], but he was [himself] in extreme error.’

قَالَ لَا تَخْتَصِمُوا۟ لَدَىَّ وَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكُم بِٱلْوَعِيدِ ﴿28﴾

Qaala laa takhtasimoo ladaayya wa qad qaddamtu ilaikum bilwa'eed

50:28He will say, ‘Do not wrangle in My presence, for I had already warned you in advance.

مَا يُبَدَّلُ ٱلْقَوْلُ لَدَىَّ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِظَلَّٰمٍۢ لِّلْعَبِيدِ ﴿29﴾

Maa yubaddalul qawlu ladaiya wa maaa ana bizal laamil lil'abeed

50:29The word [of judgement] is unalterable with Me, and I am not tyrannical to My servants.’

يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ ٱمْتَلَأْتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِن مَّزِيدٍۢ ﴿30﴾

Yawma naqoolu li'jahannama halim talaati wa taqoolu hal mim mazeed

50:30The day when We shall say to hell, ‘Are you full?’ It will say, ‘Is there any more?’

وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ ﴿31﴾

Wa uzlifatil jannatu lil muttaqeena ghaira ba'eed

50:31And paradise will be brought near for the Godwary, it will not be distant [any more]:

هَٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍۢ ﴿32﴾

Haaza maa too'adoona likulli awwaabin hafeez

50:32‘This is what you were promised. [It is] for every penitent and dutiful [servant]

مَّنْ خَشِىَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنَ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَجَآءَ بِقَلْبٍۢ مُّنِيبٍ ﴿33﴾

Man khashiyar Rahmaana bilghaibi wa jaaa'a biqalbim muneeb

50:33who fears the All-beneficent in secret and comes with a penitent heart.

ٱدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَٰمٍۢ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلْخُلُودِ ﴿34﴾

Udkhuloohaa bisalaamin zaalika yawmul khulood

50:34Enter it in peace! This is the day of immortality.’

لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌۭ ﴿35﴾

Lahum maa yashaaa'oona feehaa wa ladainaa mazeed

50:35There they will have whatever they wish, and with Us there is yet more.

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًۭا فَنَقَّبُوا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ هَلْ مِن مَّحِيصٍ ﴿36﴾

Wa kam ahlaknaa qablahum min qarnin hum ashaddu minhum batshan fanaqqaboo fil bilaad, hal mim mahees

50:36How many generations We have destroyed before them, who were stronger than these, insomuch that they ransacked the towns?! So, is there any escape [from Allah’s punishment]?

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِمَن كَانَ لَهُۥ قَلْبٌ أَوْ أَلْقَى ٱلسَّمْعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٌۭ ﴿37﴾

Inna fee zaalika lazikraa liman kaana lahoo qalbun aw alqas sam'a wa huwa shaheed

50:37There is indeed an admonition in that for one who has a heart, or gives ear, being attentive.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍۢ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِن لُّغُوبٍۢ ﴿38﴾

Wa laqad khalaqnas samaawaati wal arda wa maa bainahumaa fee sittati ayyaamin wa maa massanaa mil lughoob

50:38Certainly We created the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between them, in six days, and any fatigue did not touch Us.

فَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ ٱلْغُرُوبِ ﴿39﴾

Fasbir 'alaa maa yaqooloona wa sabbih bihamdi Rabbika qabla tuloo'ish shamsi wa qablal ghuroob

50:39So be patient at what they say, and celebrate the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the sunset,

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَأَدْبَٰرَ ٱلسُّجُودِ ﴿40﴾

Wa minal laili fasabbih hu wa adbaaras sujood

50:40and glorify Him through part of the night and after the prostrations.

وَٱسْتَمِعْ يَوْمَ يُنَادِ ٱلْمُنَادِ مِن مَّكَانٍۢ قَرِيبٍۢ ﴿41﴾

Wastami' yawma yunaa dil munaadi mim makaanin qareeb

50:41And be on the alert for the day when the caller calls from a close quarter,

يَوْمَ يَسْمَعُونَ ٱلصَّيْحَةَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلْخُرُوجِ ﴿42﴾

Yawma yasmaoonas sai hata bilhaqq zaalika yawmul khurooj

50:42the day when they hear the Cry in all truth. That is the day of rising [from the dead].

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْىِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَإِلَيْنَا ٱلْمَصِيرُ ﴿43﴾

Innaa Nahnu nuhyee wa numeetu wa ilainal maseer

50:43Indeed it is We who give life and bring death, and toward Us is the [final] destination.

يَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلْأَرْضُ عَنْهُمْ سِرَاعًۭا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ حَشْرٌ عَلَيْنَا يَسِيرٌۭ ﴿44﴾

Yawma tashaqqaqul ardu 'anhum siraa'aa; zaalika hashrun 'alainaa yaseer

50:44The day the earth is split open for [disentombing] them, [they will come out] hastening. That mustering is easy for Us [to carry out].

نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِجَبَّارٍۢ ۖ فَذَكِّرْ بِٱلْقُرْءَانِ مَن يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ ﴿45﴾

Nahnu a'lamu bimaa yaqooloona wa maaa anta 'alihim bijabbaarin fazakkir bil quraani many yakhaafu wa'eed

50:45We know well what they say, and you are not there to compel them. So admonish by the Quran those who fear My threat.
