50-1 : In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'an,

50-2 : Nay, but they marvel that a warner of their own hath come unto them; and the disbelievers say: This is a strange thing:

50-3 : When we are dead and have become dust (shall we be brought back again) ? That would be a far return!

50-4 : We know that which the earth taketh of them, and with Us is a recording Book.

50-5 : Nay, but they have denied the truth when it came unto them, therefor they are now in troubled case.

50-6 : Have they not then observed the sky above them, how We have constructed it and beautified it, and how there are no rifts therein ?

50-7 : And the earth have We spread out, and have flung firm hills therein, and have caused of every lovely kind to grow thereon,

50-8 : A vision and a reminder for every penitent slave.

50-9 : And We send down from the sky blessed water whereby We give growth unto gardens and the grain of crops,

50-10 : And lofty date - palms with ranged clusters,

50-11 : Provision (made) for men; and therewith We quicken a dead land. Even so will be the resurrection of the dead.

50-12 : The folk of Noah denied (the truth) before them, and (so did) the dwellers at Ar - Rass and (the tribe of) Thamud,

50-13 : And (the tribe of) A'ad, and Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot,

50-14 : And the dwellers in the wood, and the folk of Tubb'a: every one denied their messengers, therefor My threat took effect.

50-15 : Were We then worn out by the first creation ? Yet they are in doubt about a new creation.

50-16 : We verily created man and We know what his soul whispereth to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.

50-17 : When the two Receivers receive (him), seated on the right hand and on the left,

50-18 : He uttereth no word but there is with him an observer ready.

50-19 : And the agony of death cometh in truth. (And it is said unto him): This is that which thou wast wont to shun.

50-20 : And the trumpet is blown. This is the threatened Day.

50-21 : And every soul cometh, along with it a driver and a witness.

50-22 : (And unto the evil - doer it is said): Thou wast in heedlessness of this. Now We have removed from thee thy covering, and piercing is thy sight this day.

50-23 : And (unto the evil - doer) his comrade saith: This is that which I have ready (as testimony).

50-24 : (And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate,

50-25 : Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter,

50-26 : Who setteth up another god along with Allah. Do ye twain hurl him to the dreadful doom.

50-27 : His comrade saith: Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel, but he was (himself) far gone in error.

50-28 : He saith: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered unto you the warning.

50-29 : The sentence that cometh from Me cannot be changed, and I am in no wise a tyrant unto the slaves.

50-30 : On the day when We say unto hell: Art thou filled ? and it saith: Can there be more to come ?

50-31 : And the Garden is brought nigh for those who kept from evil, no longer distant.

50-32 : (And it is said): This is that which ye were promised. (It is) for every penitent and heedful one,

50-33 : Who feareth the Beneficent in secret and cometh with a contrite heart.

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

50-35 : There they have all that they desire, and there is more with Us.

50-36 : And how many a generation We destroyed before them, who were mightier than these in prowess so that they overran the lands! Had they any place of refuge (when the judgment came) ?

50-37 : Lo! therein verily is a reminder for him who hath a heart, or giveth ear with full intelligence.

50-38 : And verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six Days, and naught of weariness touched Us.

50-39 : Therefor (O muhammad) bear with what they say, and hymn the praise of thy Lord before the rising and before the setting of the sun;

50-40 : And in the night - time hymn His praise, and after the (prescribed) prostrations.

50-41 : And listen on the day when the crier crieth from a near place,

50-42 : The day when they will hear the (Awful) Cry in truth. That is the day of coming forth (from the graves).

50-43 : Lo! We it is Who quicken and give death, and unto Us is the journeying.

50-44 : On the day when the earth splitteth asunder from them, hastening forth (they come). That is a gathering easy for Us (to make).

50-45 : We are Best Aware of what they say, and thou (O muhammad) art in no wise a compeller over them. But warn by the Qur'an him who feareth My threat.
