| ق ۚ وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ {١} |
1. QAF. I CALL to witness the glorious Qur´an. |
| بَلْ عَجِبُوا أَنْ جَاءَهُمْ مُنْذِرٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَيْءٌ عَجِيبٌ {٢} |
2. They are rather surprised that a warner from among themselves has come to them. So the unbelievers say: "This is astonishing: |
| أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌ بَعِيدٌ {٣} |
3. When we are dead and turned to dust, this returning (to life) is most far-fetched." |
| قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنْقُصُ الْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَعِنْدَنَا كِتَابٌ حَفِيظٌ {٤} |
4. We know what the earth consumes of them, for We have the Book that preserves everything. |
| بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِي أَمْرٍ مَرِيجٍ {٥} |
5. But no! They called the truth a lie when it came to them; so they are in a confused state. |
| أَفَلَمْ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَاهَا وَزَيَّنَّاهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِنْ فُرُوجٍ {٦} |
6. Have they not looked at the sky above them, how We have fashioned and adorned it, and it has no flaw? |
| وَالْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ بَهِيجٍ {٧} |
7. We stretched the earth and placed upon it firm stabilisers and We made every kind of splendid thing to grow upon it |
| تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُنِيبٍ {٨} |
8. As instruction and reminder to every penitent creature. |
| وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً مُبَارَكًا فَأَنْبَتْنَا بِهِ جَنَّاتٍ وَحَبَّ الْحَصِيدِ {٩} |
9. And We send down water as a blessing from the sky, and grow gardens with it and the grain for harvest, |
| وَالنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَاتٍ لَهَا طَلْعٌ نَضِيدٌ {١٠} |
10. And tall date-palms with their spathes pile on pile |
| رِزْقًا لِلْعِبَادِ ۖ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَيْتًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ الْخُرُوجُ {١١} |
11. As a provision for men, and enlivened a region that was dead. Even thus will be the life after death. |
| كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَأَصْحَابُ الرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ {١٢} |
12. The people of Noah, Ar-Rass and Thamud denied before you, |
| وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَانُ لُوطٍ {١٣} |
13. As did the people of ´Ad and Pharaoh and the brethren of Lot, |
| وَأَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ ۚ كُلٌّ كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ {١٤} |
14. And the dwellers of the Wood and people of Tubba´. Each of them denied the apostles. So My threat became a reality. |
| أَفَعَيِينَا بِالْخَلْقِ الْأَوَّلِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِي لَبْسٍ مِنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ {١٥} |
15. Were We exhausted by the act of the first creation? And yet they are confused about a new creation. |
| وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ ۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ {١٦} |
16. He created man and surely know what misdoubts arise in their hearts; for We are closer to him than his jugular vein. |
| إِذْ يَتَلَقَّى الْمُتَلَقِّيَانِ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٌ {١٧} |
17. When the two (angels) who keep the account, one sitting on the right, one on the left, take it down, |
| مَا يَلْفِظُ مِنْ قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌ {١٨} |
18. There is not a word he utters but an observer is ready (to make note of it). |
| وَجَاءَتْ سَكْرَةُ الْمَوْتِ بِالْحَقِّ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنْتَ مِنْهُ تَحِيدُ {١٩} |
19. The palsy of death will surely come. This is what you wished to avert. |
| وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ الْوَعِيدِ {٢٠} |
20. And the trumpet blast will sound: It would be the Day of Doom. |
| وَجَاءَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَعَهَا سَائِقٌ وَشَهِيدٌ {٢١} |
21. Each soul will come with a driver and a witness. |
| لَقَدْ كُنْتَ فِي غَفْلَةٍ مِنْ هَٰذَا فَكَشَفْنَا عَنْكَ غِطَاءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ الْيَوْمَ حَدِيدٌ {٢٢} |
22. (And the driver will say:) "You were oblivious of this, so we have removed the veil, and how keen is your sight today!" |
| وَقَالَ قَرِينُهُ هَٰذَا مَا لَدَيَّ عَتِيدٌ {٢٣} |
23. His companion will say: "Here is (the record) I have ready with me." |
| أَلْقِيَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ {٢٤} |
24. "Cast each stubborn unbeliever into Hell," (they will be told), |
| مَنَّاعٍ لِلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ مُرِيبٍ {٢٥} |
25. "Every obstructor of good, transgressor, and the sceptic, |
| الَّذِي جَعَلَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ فَأَلْقِيَاهُ فِي الْعَذَابِ الشَّدِيدِ {٢٦} |
26. Who had set up another god with God. Cast him into severe torment." |
| قَالَ قَرِينُهُ رَبَّنَا مَا أَطْغَيْتُهُ وَلَٰكِنْ كَانَ فِي ضَلَالٍ بَعِيدٍ {٢٧} |
27. His companion will say: "O Lord, I did not lead him to wickedness, but he was himself far astray." |
| قَالَ لَا تَخْتَصِمُوا لَدَيَّ وَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِالْوَعِيدِ {٢٨} |
28. "Do not argue in My presence. I had announced the promise of doom in advance. |
| مَا يُبَدَّلُ الْقَوْلُ لَدَيَّ وَمَا أَنَا بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ {٢٩} |
29. There is no changing of My word, nor am I unjust to My creatures." |
| يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ امْتَلَأْتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ {٣٠} |
30. We shall ask Hell that day: "Are you full?" It will answer: "Are there still more?" |
| وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ {٣١} |
31. And Paradise will be brought near, not far from those who took heed for themselves and feared God. |
| هَٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍ {٣٢} |
32. "This is what you had been promised," (will be said) to every penitent who remembered (his duty), |
| مَنْ خَشِيَ الرَّحْمَٰنَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَجَاءَ بِقَلْبٍ مُنِيبٍ {٣٣} |
33. Who feared Ar-Rahman in secret, and came with a penitent heart: |
| ادْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَامٍ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُلُودِ {٣٤} |
34. "Enter it in peace. This is the day of life abiding." |
| لَهُمْ مَا يَشَاءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌ {٣٥} |
35. Theirs will be whatsoever they wish: And with Us there is more. |
| وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ بَطْشًا فَنَقَّبُوا فِي الْبِلَادِ هَلْ مِنْ مَحِيصٍ {٣٦} |
36. How many generations have We destroyed before them who were mightier in power than they. Then they searched throughout the land to see if there was a way of escape. |
| إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ قَلْبٌ أَوْ أَلْقَى السَّمْعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ {٣٧} |
37. Surely there is a reminder in this for whosoever has a heart (to feel), or takes heed. |
| وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِنْ لُغُوبٍ {٣٨} |
38. We created the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, in six spans, and no weariness came upon Us. |
| فَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ الْغُرُوبِ {٣٩} |
39. So you bear with patience what they say, and sing the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun and its setting, |
| وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَأَدْبَارَ السُّجُودِ {٤٠} |
40. And glorify Him for some portion of the night, and additional adorations. |
| وَاسْتَمِعْ يَوْمَ يُنَادِ الْمُنَادِ مِنْ مَكَانٍ قَرِيبٍ {٤١} |
41. Take heed that the day the crier calls from a place close (to every one), |
| يَوْمَ يَسْمَعُونَ الصَّيْحَةَ بِالْحَقِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُرُوجِ {٤٢} |
42. The day they actually hear the blast, will be the Day of rising of the dead. |
| إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِي وَنُمِيتُ وَإِلَيْنَا الْمَصِيرُ {٤٣} |
43. We are the one who give life and death, and to Us will be the destination. |
| يَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ الْأَرْضُ عَنْهُمْ سِرَاعًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ حَشْرٌ عَلَيْنَا يَسِيرٌ {٤٤} |
44. The day the earth will split asunder they will come out hurriedly. This gathering together is easy for Us. |
| نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ ۖ وَمَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِجَبَّارٍ ۖ فَذَكِّرْ بِالْقُرْآنِ مَنْ يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ {٤٥} |
45. We are cognisant of what they say; but it is not for you to compel them. So keep on reminding through the Qur´an whoever fears My warning. |
