| ق ۚ وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ {١} |
1. Qaf. I swear by the glorious Quran (that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.) |
| بَلْ عَجِبُوا أَنْ جَاءَهُمْ مُنْذِرٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَيْءٌ عَجِيبٌ {٢} |
2. Nay! They wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves, so the unbelievers say, " This is a wonderful thing. |
| أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌ بَعِيدٌ {٣} |
3. "What! When we are dead and have become dust (shall we live again)? That is a far return (or far from probable or from our understanding)." |
| قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنْقُصُ الْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَعِنْدَنَا كِتَابٌ حَفِيظٌ {٤} |
4. We know indeed what the earth diminishes (or takes) from them (excreta or dead bodies), and with Us is a Preserved Record (or the record is preserved). |
| بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِي أَمْرٍ مَرِيجٍ {٥} |
5. Nay, they rejected the truth when it came to them, so they are now in a state of confusion. |
| أَفَلَمْ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَاهَا وَزَيَّنَّاهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِنْ فُرُوجٍ {٦} |
6. Do they not then look up to heaven above them how We have made it and adorned it and it has no gaps (rifts or flaws)? |
| وَالْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ بَهِيجٍ {٧} |
7. And the earth, We have made it plain and cast in it mountains and We have made to grow therein of all beautiful kinds, |
| تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُنِيبٍ {٨} |
8. As a vision (observation or spectacle) and a reminder to every penitent servant (for his delight or awe and instruction). |
| وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً مُبَارَكًا فَأَنْبَتْنَا بِهِ جَنَّاتٍ وَحَبَّ الْحَصِيدِ {٩} |
9. And We send down from the cloud water abounding in good (or blessings), then We cause to grow therewith gardens and the grain that is reaped, |
| وَالنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَاتٍ لَهَا طَلْعٌ نَضِيدٌ {١٠} |
10. And the lofty palm-trees with fruit spikes closely set one above another, |
| رِزْقًا لِلْعِبَادِ ۖ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَيْتًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ الْخُرُوجُ {١١} |
11. A sustenance for the servants (of Allah), and We give life thereby to a dead land; thus is the Resurrection. |
| كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَأَصْحَابُ الرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ {١٢} |
12. Others before them rejected (these ideas or the Prophets): the people of Noah and the dwellers of Ar-Rass and Thamud, |
| وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَانُ لُوطٍ {١٣} |
13. And A´ad and Pharaoh and Lot´s brethren, |
| وَأَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ ۚ كُلٌّ كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ {١٤} |
14. And the dwellers of the Wood (Midian) and the people of Tubba; all rejected the messengers. Therefore, My threat came to pass. |
| أَفَعَيِينَا بِالْخَلْقِ الْأَوَّلِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِي لَبْسٍ مِنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ {١٥} |
15. Were We then fatigued with (did We need rest after) the first creation? Yet are they in doubt with regard to a new creation. |
| وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ ۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ {١٦} |
16. And certainly We created man, and We know what his soul suggests to him, and We are nearer to him than his life-vein (Jugular and Carotid). |
| إِذْ يَتَلَقَّى الْمُتَلَقِّيَانِ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٌ {١٧} |
17. When the two Receivers receive him, sitting on the right and on the left. |
| مَا يَلْفِظُ مِنْ قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌ {١٨} |
18. He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher (sentinel, one who censors) at hand. |
| وَجَاءَتْ سَكْرَةُ الْمَوْتِ بِالْحَقِّ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنْتَ مِنْهُ تَحِيدُ {١٩} |
19. And the stupor of death will bring truth; that is what you were trying to escape. |
| وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ الْوَعِيدِ {٢٠} |
20. And the Trumpet shall be blown; that is the day about which warning had been given. |
| وَجَاءَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَعَهَا سَائِقٌ وَشَهِيدٌ {٢١} |
21. And every soul shall come, with it a Driver and a Witness. |
| لَقَدْ كُنْتَ فِي غَفْلَةٍ مِنْ هَٰذَا فَكَشَفْنَا عَنْكَ غِطَاءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ الْيَوْمَ حَدِيدٌ {٢٢} |
22. Certainly you were heedless of it, but now We have removed from you your veil, and piercing is your sight this day. |
| وَقَالَ قَرِينُهُ هَٰذَا مَا لَدَيَّ عَتِيدٌ {٢٣} |
23. And his companions (the Driver and the Witness) shall say, "Here (his Record) is ready with me. |
| أَلْقِيَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ {٢٤} |
24. "So cast into Hell every ungrateful, rebellious one, |
| مَنَّاعٍ لِلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ مُرِيبٍ {٢٥} |
25. "Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter, |
| الَّذِي جَعَلَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ فَأَلْقِيَاهُ فِي الْعَذَابِ الشَّدِيدِ {٢٦} |
26. "Who sets up another God with Allah; cast him into severe chastisement." |
| قَالَ قَرِينُهُ رَبَّنَا مَا أَطْغَيْتُهُ وَلَٰكِنْ كَانَ فِي ضَلَالٍ بَعِيدٍ {٢٧} |
27. His companion will say, "Our Lord! I did not lead him into transgression but he himself was in great error." |
| قَالَ لَا تَخْتَصِمُوا لَدَيَّ وَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِالْوَعِيدِ {٢٨} |
28. He will say, "Do not quarrel in My presence, and indeed I gave you the warning beforehand: |
| مَا يُبَدَّلُ الْقَوْلُ لَدَيَّ وَمَا أَنَا بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ {٢٩} |
29. "My word shall not be changed, nor am I in the least unjust to My servants." |
| يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ امْتَلَأْتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ {٣٠} |
30. On the day that We will say to Hell, "Are you filled up?” And it will say, "Are there any more?" |
| وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ {٣١} |
31. And the Garden shall be brought near to those who guard against evil, not far off: |
| هَٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍ {٣٢} |
32. This is what you were promised, (it is) for every one who turned (to Allah or was repentant), and kept His limits (or Law); |
| مَنْ خَشِيَ الرَّحْمَٰنَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَجَاءَ بِقَلْبٍ مُنِيبٍ {٣٣} |
33. Who fears the Beneficent One in secret (or unseen or inwardly) and comes with a penitent (or devoted) heart: |
| ادْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَامٍ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُلُودِ {٣٤} |
34. "Enter you therein in peace, this is the day of Eternal Life (or Immortality)." |
| لَهُمْ مَا يَشَاءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌ {٣٥} |
35. They have therein all that they wish and with Us is even more. |
| وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ بَطْشًا فَنَقَّبُوا فِي الْبِلَادِ هَلْ مِنْ مَحِيصٍ {٣٦} |
36. And how many a generation did We destroy before them who were mightier in prowess than they. Then they wander through (or overrun) the land; but was there for them a place of refuge (when the Judgment came)? |
| إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ قَلْبٌ أَوْ أَلْقَى السَّمْعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ {٣٧} |
37. Most surely there is a reminder in this for him who has a heart or he gives ear and is a witness (or understands intelligently). |
| وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِنْ لُغُوبٍ {٣٨} |
38. And certainly We created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six periods and there touched Us not any fatigue (Allah required no rest). |
| فَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ الْغُرُوبِ {٣٩} |
39. Therefore be patient of what they say, and sing the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting. |
| وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَأَدْبَارَ السُّجُودِ {٤٠} |
40. And glorify Him in the night and after the prescribed prostrations. |
| وَاسْتَمِعْ يَوْمَ يُنَادِ الْمُنَادِ مِنْ مَكَانٍ قَرِيبٍ {٤١} |
41. And listen for the Day when the Caller shall cry from a near place. |
| يَوْمَ يَسْمَعُونَ الصَّيْحَةَ بِالْحَقِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُرُوجِ {٤٢} |
42. The Day when they shall hear the Call (or Cry or Blast) in truth; that is the day of coming forth. |
| إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِي وَنُمِيتُ وَإِلَيْنَا الْمَصِيرُ {٤٣} |
43. Surely We give life and cause to die, and to Us is the final destination (or goal). |
| يَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ الْأَرْضُ عَنْهُمْ سِرَاعًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ حَشْرٌ عَلَيْنَا يَسِيرٌ {٤٤} |
44. The day on which the earth shall be rent asunder from under them, they will hasten forth; that will be a gathering together easy to Us. |
| نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ ۖ وَمَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِجَبَّارٍ ۖ فَذَكِّرْ بِالْقُرْآنِ مَنْ يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ {٤٥} |
45. We know best what they say, and you (O Muhammad) are not one to compel them; but admonish by means of the Quran him who fears My warning. |
