SURA 50. Qaf

1. Qaf: By the Glorious Qur’an [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 charted 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, the Thamud,

13. 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?
