qāf By the glorious Qur’an!

2

The truth is, they marvel that a warner has come to them from among them. And the false claimers of guidance say: “This is an amazing thing:

3

“When we are dead and become dust[...]? That is a far return!”

4

We know what the earth diminishes of them. And with Us is a preserving Writ.

5

The truth is, they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused state.

6

Have they not looked at the sky above them: — how We have built it, and made it fair, and it has no rifts?

7

And the earth: — We spread it out, and cast therein firm mountains; and We caused to grow therein every delightsome kind

8

As means of insight and a reminder for every repenting servant.

9

And We sent down from the sky blessed water, and caused to grow thereby gardens and the grain of harvest,

10

And tall date-palms with spathes in layers

11

As a provision for the servants. And therewith gave We life to a dead land. Thus will be the Emergence.

12

There denied before them the people of Noah, and the companions of Al-Rass, and Thamūd,

13

And ʿĀd, and Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot,

14

And the companions of the woods, and the people of Tubbaʿ. Every one denied the messengers, so My warning became binding.

15

Were We then wearied by the first creation? Yet they are in doubt about a new creation.

16

And We have created man; and We know what his soul whispers within him; and We are nearer to him than the jugular vein:

17

When the two recorders record sitting on the right and on the left,

18

He utters not a word save with him is a watcher ready.

19

And the intoxication of death will bring the truth: — “That is what thou wast avoiding!” —

20

And the Trumpet will be blown; that is the Day of Warning!

21

And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness:

22

“Thou wast in heedlessness of this; and We have removed from thee thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this day!”

23

And his companion will say: “This is what is with me prepared.”

24

“Cast, you twain, into Gehenna every obstinate rejecter,

25

“Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter,

26

“Who set up, with God, another god! Cast him, you twain, into the severe punishment!”

27

His companion will say: “Our Lord: I did not cause him to transgress, but he was in extreme error.”

28

He will say: “Contend not before Me; I had sent the warning ahead to you.

29

“The word with Me will not be changed; and I am not unjust to the servants.”

30

The day We say to Gehenna: “Art thou filled?” And it will say: “Is there any more?”

31

And the Garden will be brought nigh: — to those of prudent fear, not far —

32

“This is what you were promised, for every preserving penitent,

33

“Who feared the Almighty unseen, and came with a repentant heart:

34

“Enter it in peace!” That is the Day of Eternity;

35

They have what they desire therein; and with Us is more.

36

And how many a generation We destroyed before them stronger than them in might! And they penetrated into the land; had they any place of refuge?

37

In that is a reminder for him who has a heart or gives ear with a conscious mind.

38

And We created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness.

39

So be thou patient over what they say, and give thou glory with the praise of thy Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting.

40

And some of the night, glorify thou Him; and at the ends of the Submission.

41

And listen thou for the day the Caller will call from a near place,

42

The day they will hear the Blast in truth: that is the Day of Emergence:

43

— It is We who give life, and We give death; and to Us is the journey’s end —

44

The day the earth is split asunder from about them, they hastening forth; that is a gathering easy for Us.

45

We best know what they say; and thou art not a tyrant over them. But remind thou with the Qur’an him who fears My warning.
