Qaaf. By the Glorious Koran
No, but they marvel that from among themselves a warner has come to them. The unbelievers say (in mockery): 'This is a marvelous thing
What, when we are dead and turned to dust? That indeed would be an unlikely return!
We know all that the earth takes away of them, and a Book of Records is with Us
Rather, they belied the truth when it came to them, and now they are in a state of confusion
What, have they never observed the heaven above them, (and seen) how We built and adorned it, leaving no crack
We spread out the earth and set upon it firm mountains, and We cause every delightful thing to grow in i
as a lesson and a reminder to every penitent worshiper
We sent down blessed water from the sky with which We caused gardens and the grains of harvest to grow
and tall palmtrees with compact spathe
as a provision for the worshipers; thereby We revived a land that was dead. Such shall be the emerging
Before them, the nation of Noah, the nation of ArRass belied and so did Thamood
and Aad, Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot
the dwellers of the Thicket and the nation of Tubba', all belied their Messengers, therefore My threat was realized
What, were We wearied by the first creation? No, indeed; yet they are in doubt about a new creation
Indeed, We created the human. We know the whisperings of his soul, and are closer to him than the jugular vein
When both receivers (the angels) receive, one on his right, the other on his left
whatever phrase he utters, an observer is present
And when the agony of death comes in truth (they will say): 'This is what you have been trying to avoid!
And the Horn shall be blown; that is the Day of Threat
Each soul shall come with a driver, and a witness
(It will be said): 'Of this you have been heedless. Therefore, we have now removed your covering. Today your sight is sharp.
And his companion will say: 'This is that which I have present.
(It will be said): 'Indeed, cast into Gehenna (Hell) every deviating unbeliever
forbidder of good, transgressor and doubter
who has set up with Allah another god. Indeed, you two, cast him into the terrible punishment.
And his companion shall say: 'Our Lord, I did not make him insolent, he was far astray.
He (Allah) will say: 'Do not dispute before Me. I sent you a warning beforehand
The Word cannot be changed with Me; I do not wrong My worshipers.
On that Day We shall ask Gehenna: 'Are you full? ' And it will answer: 'Are there any more?
And Paradise, which is not far away, shall be brought closer to those who were cautious
(It shall be said to them): 'This is that you were promised. It is for every heeding penitent
Whosoever fears the Merciful in the Unseen, and comes with a contrite heart
Enter it in peace. This is the Day of Eternity!
There they have all that they desire, and with Us is much more
How many generations, stronger in might than they have We destroyed before them! They searched the land, could they find any asylum
Surely, in this there is a Reminder for he who has a heart or listens attentively while witnessing
In six days We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them and no weariness touched Us
Bear then with patience what they say. Exalt with the praise of your Lord before sunrise and before sunset
And exalt Him in the night, and at the ends of the prostrations
Listen for the Day when the Caller will call from a nearby place
On the Day when they will hear the Shout, in truth that Day they will emerge
It is We who give life and make to die. To Us is the arrival
Upon that Day the earth will be rent asunder from around them as they hurry forth that is an easy gathering for Us
Indeed, We know what they say. You (Prophet Muhammad) are not a tyrant over them. Therefore, remind by the Koran whosoever fears (My) threat
