قٓ وَالقُرءَانِ المَجِیدِ

Qaf waalqurani almajeedi

Qaf. By the honored Qur'an

بَل عَجِبُوٓاْ اَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٞ مِّنهُم فَقَالَ الکَفِرُونَ هَذَا شَیءٌ عَجِیبٌ

Bal AAajiboo an jaahum munthirun minhum faqala alkafiroona hatha shayon AAajeebun

But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing

اَءِذَا مِتنَا وَکُنَّا تُرَابا ذَلِکَ رَجعُ بَعِیدٞ

Aitha mitna wakunna turaban thalika rajAAun baAAeedun

When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant return

قَد عَلِمنَا مَا تَنقُصُ الاَرضُ مِنهُم وَعِندَنَا کِتَبٌ حَفِیظُ

Qad AAalimna ma tanqusu alardu minhum waAAindana kitabun hafeethun

We know what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a retaining record

بَل کَذَّبُواْ بِالحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُم فَهُم فِیٓ اَمر مَّرِیجٍ

Bal kaththaboo bialhaqqi lamma jaahum fahum fee amrin mareejin

But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused condition

اَفَلَم یَنظُرُوٓاْ اِلَی السَّمَآءِ فَوقَهُم کَیفَ بَنَینَهَا وَزَیَّنَّهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوج

Afalam yanthuroo ila alssamai fawqahum kayfa banaynaha wazayyannaha wama laha min furoojin

Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts

وَالاَرضَ مَدَدنَهَا وَاَلقَینَا فِیهَا رَوَسِیَ وَاَنبَتنَا فِیهَا مِن کُلِّ زَوجِ بَهِیج

Waalarda madadnaha waalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatna feeha min kulli zawjin baheejin

And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind

تَبصِرَۃ وَذِکرَی لِکُلِّ عَبد مُّنِیب

Tabsiratan wathikra likulli AAabdin muneebin

Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allah]

وَنَزَّلنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآء مُّبَرَکا فَاَنبَتنَا بِهِ جَنَّت وَحَبَّ الحَصِیدِ

Wanazzalna mina alssamai maan mubarakan faanbatna bihi jannatin wahabba alhaseedi

And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest

وَالنَّخلَ بَاسِقَت لَّهَا طَلعٞ نَّضِیدٞ

Waalnnakhla basiqatin laha talAAun nadeedun

And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers

رِّزقا لِّلعِبَادِ وَاَحیَینَا بِهِ بَلدَۃ مَّیتا کَذَلِکَ الخُرُوجُ

Rizqan lilAAibadi waahyayna bihi baldatan maytan kathalika alkhurooju

As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the resurrection

کَذَّبَت قَبلَهُم قَومُ نُوح وَاَصحَبُ الرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ

Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin waashabu alrrassi wathamoodu

The people of Noah denied before them, and the companions of the well and Thamud

وَعَادٞ وَفِرعَونُ وَاِخوَنُ لُوط

WaAAadun wafirAAawnu waikhwanu lootin

And 'Aad and Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot

وَاَصحَبُ الاَیکَۃِ وَقَومُ تُبَّع کُلّٞ کَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِیدِ

Waashabu alaykati waqawmu tubbaAAin kullun kaththaba alrrusula fahaqqa waAAeedi

And the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubba'. All denied the messengers, so My threat was justly fulfilled

اَفَعَیِینَا بِالخَلقِ الاَوَّلِ بَل هُم فِی لَبس مِّن خَلق جَدِید

AfaAAayeena bialkhalqi alawwali bal hum fee labsin min khalqin jadeedin

Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation

وَلَقَد خَلَقنَا الاِنسَنَ وَنَعلَمُ مَا تُوَسوِسُ بِهِ نَفسُهُ وَنَحنُ اَقرَبُ اِلَیهِ مِن حَبلِ الوَرِیدِ

Walaqad khalaqna alinsana wanaAAlamu ma tuwaswisu bihi nafsuhu wanahnu aqrabu ilayhi min habli alwareedi

And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein

اِذ یَتَلَقَّی المُتَلَقِّیَانِ عَنِ الیَمِینِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ قَعِیدٞ

Ith yatalaqqa almutalaqqiyani AAani alyameeni waAAani alshshimali qaAAeedun

When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left

مَّا یَلفِظُ مِن قَولٍ اِلَّا لَدَیهِ رَقِیبٌ عَتِیدٞ

Ma yalfithu min qawlin illa ladayhi raqeebun AAateedun

Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]

Wajaat sakratu almawti bialhaqqi thalika ma kunta minhu taheedu

And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid

وَنُفِخَ فِی الصُّورِ ذَلِکَ یَومُ الوَعِیدِ

Wanufikha fee alssoori thalika yawmu alwaAAeedi

And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat

وَجَآءَت کُلُّ نَفس مَّعَهَا سَآئِقٞ وَشَهِیدٞ

Wajaat kullu nafsin maAAaha saiqun washaheedun

And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness

لَّقَد کُنتَ فِی غَفلَۃ مِّن هَذَا فَکَشَفنَا عَنکَ غِطَآءَکَ فَبَصَرُکَ الیَومَ حَدِیدٞ

Laqad kunta fee ghaflatin min hatha fakashafna AAanka ghitaaka fabasaruka alyawma hadeedun

[It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp

وَقَالَ قَرِینُهُ هَذَا مَا لَدَیَّ عَتِیدٌ

Waqala qareenuhu hatha ma ladayya AAateedun

And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared

اَلقِیَا فِی جَهَنَّمَ کُلَّ کَفَّارٍ عَنِید

Alqiya fee jahannama kulla kaffarin AAaneedin

[Allah will say], "Throw into Hell every obstinate disbeliever

مَّنَّاع لِّلخَیرِ مُعتَد مُّرِیبٍ

MannaAAin lilkhayri muAAtadin mureebin

Preventer of good, aggressor, and doubter

الَّذِی جَعَلَ مَعَ اللَّهِ اِلَهًا ءَاخَرَ فَاَلقِیَاهُ فِی العَذَابِ الشَّدِیدِ

Allathee jaAAala maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara faalqiyahu fee alAAathabi alshshadeedi

Who made [as equal] with Allah another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment

قَالَ قَرِینُهُ رَبَّنَا مَآ اَطغَیتُهُ وَلَکِن کَانَ فِی ضَلَلِ بَعِید

Qala qareenuhu rabbana ma atghaytuhu walakin kana fee dalalin baAAeedin

His [devil] companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he [himself] was in extreme error

قَالَ لَا تَختَصِمُواْ لَدَیَّ وَقَد قَدَّمتُ اِلَیکُم بِالوَعِیدِ

Qala la takhtasimoo ladayya waqad qaddamtu ilaykum bialwaAAeedi

[Allah] will say, "Do not dispute before Me, while I had already presented to you the warning

مَا یُبَدَّلُ القَولُ لَدَیَّ وَمَآ اَنَا بِظَلَّم لِّلعَبِیدِ

Ma yubaddalu alqawlu ladayya wama ana bithallamin lilAAabeedi

The word will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants

یَومَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ امتَلَاتِ وَتَقُولُ هَل مِن مَّزِید

Yawma naqoolu lijahannama hali imtalati wataqoolu hal min mazeedin

On the Day We will say to Hell, "Have you been filled?" and it will say, "Are there some more

وَاُزلِفَتِ الجَنَّۃُ لِلمُتَّقِینَ غَیرَ بَعِیدٍ

Waozlifati aljannatu lilmuttaqeena ghayra baAAeedin

And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far

هَذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِکُلِّ اَوَّابٍ حَفِیظ

Hatha ma tooAAadoona likulli awwabin hafeethin

[It will be said], "This is what you were promised - for every returner [to Allah] and keeper [of His covenant]

مَّن خَشِیَ الرَّحمَنَ بِالغَیبِ وَجَآءَ بِقَلب مُّنِیبٍ

Man khashiya alrrahmana bialghaybi wajaa biqalbin muneebin

Who feared the Most Merciful unseen and came with a heart returning [in repentance]

ادخُلُوهَا بِسَلَم ذَلِکَ یَومُ الخُلُودِ

Odkhulooha bisalamin thalika yawmu alkhuloodi

Enter it in peace. This is the Day of Eternity

لَهُم مَّا یَشَآءُونَ فِیهَا وَلَدَینَا مَزِیدٞ

Lahum ma yashaoona feeha waladayna mazeedun

They will have whatever they wish therein, and with Us is more

وَکَم اَهلَکنَا قَبلَهُم مِّن قَرنٍ هُم اَشَدُّ مِنهُم بَطشا فَنَقَّبُواْ فِی البِلَدِ هَل مِن مَّحِیصٍ

Wakam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin hum ashaddu minhum batshan fanaqqaboo fee albiladi hal min maheesin

And how many a generation before them did We destroy who were greater than them in [striking] power and had explored throughout the lands. Is there any place of escape

اِنَّ فِی ذَلِکَ لَذِکرَی لِمَن کَانَ لَهُ قَلبٌ اَو اَلقَی السَّمعَ وَهُوَ شَهِیدٞ

Inna fee thalika lathikra liman kana lahu qalbun aw alqa alssamAAa wahuwa shaheedun

Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind]

وَلَقَد خَلَقنَا السَّمَوَتِ وَالاَرضَ وَمَا بَینَهُمَا فِی سِتَّۃِ اَیَّام وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِن لُّغُوب

Walaqad khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma fee sittati ayyamin wama massana min lughoobin

And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness

فَاصبِر عَلَی مَا یَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّح بِحَمدِ رَبِّکَ قَبلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمسِ وَقَبلَ الغُرُوبِ

Faisbir AAala ma yaqooloona wasabbih bihamdi rabbika qabla tulooAAi alshshamsi waqabla alghuroobi

So be patient, [O Muhammad], over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting

وَمِنَ الَّیلِ فَسَبِّحهُ وَاَدبَرَ السُّجُودِ

Wamina allayli fasabbihhu waadbara alssujoodi

یَومَ یَسمَعُونَ الصَّیحَۃَ بِالحَقِّ ذَلِکَ یَومُ الخُرُوجِ

Yawma yasmaAAoona alssayhata bialhaqqi thalika yawmu alkhurooji

The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves]

اِنَّا نَحنُ نُحیِ وَنُمِیتُ وَاِلَینَا المَصِیرُ

Inna nahnu nuhyee wanumeetu wailayna almaseeru

Indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination

یَومَ تَشَقَّقُ الاَرضُ عَنهُم سِرَاعا ذَلِکَ حَشرٌ عَلَینَا یَسِیرٞ

Yawma tashaqqaqu alardu AAanhum siraAAan thalika hashrun AAalayna yaseerun

On the Day the earth breaks away from them [and they emerge] rapidly; that is a gathering easy for Us

نَّحنُ اَعلَمُ بِمَا یَقُولُونَ وَمَآ اَنتَ عَلَیهِم بِجَبَّار فَذَکِّر بِالقُرءَانِ مَن یَخَافُ وَعِیدِ

Nahnu aAAlamu bima yaqooloona wama anta AAalayhim bijabbarin fathakkir bialqurani man yakhafu waAAeedi

We are most knowing of what they say, and you are not over them a tyrant. But remind by the Qur'an whoever fears My threat
