Read Surah: Qaaf (The letter Qaaf) - with Translation, Quran chapter: 50

[1]قٓ ۚ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْمَجِيدِ .

[1]Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'an,

[2]بَلْ عَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ .

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

[3]أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا ۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌۢ بَعِيدٌۭ .

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

[4]قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَٰبٌ حَفِيظٌۢ .

[4]We know that which the earth taketh of them, and with Us is a recording Book.

[5]بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِىٓ أَمْرٍۢ مَّرِيجٍ .

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

[6]أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍۢ .

[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?

[7]وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيجٍۢ .

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

[8]تَبْصِرَةًۭ وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍۢ مُّنِيبٍۢ .

[8]A vision and a reminder for every penitent slave.

[9]وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۭ مُّبَٰرَكًۭا فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَحَبَّ ٱلْحَصِيدِ .

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

[10]وَٱلنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَٰتٍۢ لَّهَا طَلْعٌۭ نَّضِيدٌۭ .

[10]And lofty date-palms with ranged clusters,

[11]رِّزْقًۭا لِّلْعِبَادِ ۖ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِۦ بَلْدَةًۭ مَّيْتًۭا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْخُرُوجُ .

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

[12]كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍۢ وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ .

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

[13]وَعَادٌۭ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَٰنُ لُوطٍۢ .

[13]And (the tribe of) A'ad, and Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot,

[14]وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۢ ۚ كُلٌّۭ كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ .

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

[15]أَفَعَيِينَا بِٱلْخَلْقِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِى لَبْسٍۢ مِّنْ خَلْقٍۢ جَدِيدٍۢ .

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

[16]وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفْسُهُۥ ۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ ٱلْوَرِيدِ .

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

[17]إِذْ يَتَلَقَّى ٱلْمُتَلَقِّيَانِ عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٌۭ .

[17]When the two Receivers receive (him), seated on the right hand and on the left,

[18]مَّا يَلْفِظُ مِن قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌۭ .

[18]He uttereth no word but there is with him an observer ready.

[19]وَجَآءَتْ سَكْرَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنتَ مِنْهُ تَحِيدُ .

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

[20]وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلْوَعِيدِ .

[20]And the trumpet is blown. This is the threatened Day.

[21]وَجَآءَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ مَّعَهَا سَآئِقٌۭ وَشَهِيدٌۭ .

[21]And every soul cometh, along with it a driver and a witness.

[22]لَّقَدْ كُنتَ فِى غَفْلَةٍۢ مِّنْ هَٰذَا فَكَشَفْنَا عَنكَ غِطَآءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ حَدِيدٌۭ .

[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.

[23]وَقَالَ قَرِينُهُۥ هَٰذَا مَا لَدَىَّ عَتِيدٌ .

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

[24]أَلْقِيَا فِى جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ عَنِيدٍۢ .

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

[25]مَّنَّاعٍۢ لِّلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍۢ مُّرِيبٍ .

[25]Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter,

[26]ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَأَلْقِيَاهُ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلشَّدِيدِ .

[26]Who setteth up another god along with Allah. Do ye twain hurl him to the dreadful doom.

[27]۞ قَالَ قَرِينُهُۥ رَبَّنَا مَآ أَطْغَيْتُهُۥ وَلَٰكِن كَانَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍۭ بَعِيدٍۢ .

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

[28]قَالَ لَا تَخْتَصِمُوا۟ لَدَىَّ وَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكُم بِٱلْوَعِيدِ .

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

[29]مَا يُبَدَّلُ ٱلْقَوْلُ لَدَىَّ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِظَلَّٰمٍۢ لِّلْعَبِيدِ .

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

[30]يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ ٱمْتَلَأْتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِن مَّزِيدٍۢ .

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

[31]وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ .

[31]And the Garden is brought nigh for those who kept from evil, no longer distant.

[32]هَٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍۢ .

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

[33]مَّنْ خَشِىَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنَ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَجَآءَ بِقَلْبٍۢ مُّنِيبٍ .

[33]Who feareth the Beneficent in secret and cometh with a contrite heart.

[34]ٱدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَٰمٍۢ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلْخُلُودِ .

[34]Enter it in peace. This is the day of immortality.

[35]لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌۭ .

[35]There they have all that they desire, and there is more with Us.

[36]وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًۭا فَنَقَّبُوا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ هَلْ مِن مَّحِيصٍ .

[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)?

[37]إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِمَن كَانَ لَهُۥ قَلْبٌ أَوْ أَلْقَى ٱلسَّمْعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٌۭ .

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

[38]وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍۢ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِن لُّغُوبٍۢ .

[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.

[39]فَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ ٱلْغُرُوبِ .

[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;

[40]وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَأَدْبَٰرَ ٱلسُّجُودِ .

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

[41]وَٱسْتَمِعْ يَوْمَ يُنَادِ ٱلْمُنَادِ مِن مَّكَانٍۢ قَرِيبٍۢ .

[41]And listen on the day when the crier crieth from a near place,

[42]يَوْمَ يَسْمَعُونَ ٱلصَّيْحَةَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلْخُرُوجِ .

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

[43]إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْىِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَإِلَيْنَا ٱلْمَصِيرُ .

[43]Lo! We it is Who quicken and give death, and unto Us is the journeying.

[44]يَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلْأَرْضُ عَنْهُمْ سِرَاعًۭا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ حَشْرٌ عَلَيْنَا يَسِيرٌۭ .

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

[45]نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِجَبَّارٍۢ ۖ فَذَكِّرْ بِٱلْقُرْءَانِ مَن يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ .

[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.
