بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most
Merciful.
|
|
1. |
Qaf.
By
the Glorious Qur'án
(Thou art Allah's
Messenger). |
|
2. |
But
they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among
themselves.
So
the Unbelievers say:
"This is a wonderful thing! |
|
3. |
"What! when we die and become dust,
(shall we live
again?).
That
is a
(sort of)
Return far
(from our
understanding)." |
|
4. |
We
already know how much of them the earth takes away:
with
Us is a Record guarding
(the full account). |
|
5. |
But
they deny the truth when it comes to them: So they are in a confused
state. |
|
6. |
Do
they not look at the sky above them?
How
We have made it and adorned it,
and there are no flaws in it? |
|
7. |
And
the earth-We have spread it
out, and set thereon mountains standing firm,
and
produced therein every kind of beautiful growth
(in pairs)
-- |
|
8. |
To
be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning
(to Allah). |
|
9. |
And
We send down from the sky Rain charged with blessing,
and
We produce therewith
Gardens and Grain for
harvests;
|
|
10. |
And
tall
(and stately)
palm-trees, with shoots of fruit-stalks, piled one over another --
|
|
11. |
As
sustenance for
(Allah's)
Servants;
and
We give
(new)
life therewith to land that is dead:
Thus
will be the Resurrection. |
|
12. |
Before them was denied
(the Hereafter)
by
-
the people of Noah,
-
the Companions of the Rass,
|
|
13. |
-
the Thamud,
-
The 'Ad,
- Pharaoh,
-
the Brethren of Lut, |
|
14. |
-
The companions of the Wood,
and
-
the people of Tubba;
each
one
(of them)
rejected the messengers, and
My warning was duly fulfilled
(in them). |
|
15. |
Were
We then weary with the first Creation,
that
they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation? |
|
16. |
It
was We who created man and We know what dark suggestions his soul
makes to him:
for
We are nearer to him than
(his)
jugular vein. |
|
17. |
Behold, two
(guardian
angels)
appointed to learn
(his doings)
learn
(and note them),
one sitting on the right and one on the left. |
|
18. |
Not
a word does he utter but there is a sentinel by him, ready
(to note it). |
|
19. |
And
the stupor of death will bring truth
(before his eyes):
"This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!" |
|
20. |
And
the Trumpet shall be blown:
that
will be the Day whereof warning
(had been given). |
|
21. |
And
there will come forth every soul: with each will be an
(angel)
to
drive, and an
(angel)
to
bear witness. |
|
22. |
(It will be said:)
"Thou wast heedless of this;
now
have We removed thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this Day!" |
|
23. |
And
his companion will say: "Here
is
(his record)
ready with me!" |
|
24. |
(The sentence will
be:)
"Throw, throw into Hell every contumacious Rejector
(of Allah)!
--
|
|
25. |
"Who
forbade what was good, transgressed all bounds, cast doubts and
suspicions; |
|
26. |
"Who
set up another god besides Allah: throw him into a severe Penalty." |
|
27. |
His
companion will say:
"Our
Lord! I did not make him transgress, but he was
(himself)
far
astray." |
|
28. |
He
will say:
"Dispute not with each other in My Presence: I had already in
advance sent you Warning. |
|
29. |
"The
Word changes not before Me, and I do not the least injustice to My
Servants." |
|
30. |
One
Day We will ask Hell, "art thou filled to the full?"
It
will say, "are there any more
(to come)?" |
|
31. |
And
the Garden will be brought
nigh to the righteous -- no more a thing distant. |
|
32. |
(A voice will say:)
"This is what was promised for you, for everyone who turned
(to Allah)
in
sincere repentance, who kept
(his law). |
|
33. |
"Who
feared
(Allah)
Most
Gracious unseen, and brought a heart turned in devotion
(to Him): |
|
34. |
"Enter ye therein in Peace and Security;
this
is a Day of Eternal Life!" |
|
35. |
There will be for them therein all that they wish, and more besides
in Our Presence. |
|
36. |
But
how many generations before
them did We destroy
(for their Sins),
stronger in power than they?
Then
did they wander through the land: Was there any place of escape
(for them)? |
|
37. |
Verily in this is a Message for any that has a heart and
understanding or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses
(the truth). |
|
38. |
We
created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days,
nor
did any sense of weariness touch Us. |
|
39. |
Bear, then with patience, all that they say,
and
celebrate the praises of thy Lord, before the rising of the sun and
before
(its)
setting, |
|
40. |
And
during part of the night,
(also)
celebrate His praises, and
(so likewise)
after the postures of adoration. |
|
41. |
And
listen for the Day when the Caller will call out from a place quite
near -- |
|
42. |
The
day when they will hear a
(mighty)
Blast in
(very)
truth:
that
will be the day of Resurrection. |
|
43. |
Verily it is We Who give Life and Death; and to Us is the Final Goal
-- |
|
44. |
The
Day when the Earth will be rent asunder, from
(men)
hurrying out:
that
will be a gathering together -- quite easy for Us. |
|
45. |
We
know best what they say;
and
thou art not one to overawe them by force.
So
admonish with the Qur'án such as fear My Warning!
