50:1 قٓ ۚ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْمَجِيدِ — Qāf. 1 By the honored Qur’ān... 2 50:2 بَلْ عَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا شَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ — But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing. 50:3 أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌۢ بَعِيدٌ — When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant [i.e., unlikely] return." 50:4 قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَـٰبٌ حَفِيظٌۢ — We know what the earth diminishes [i.e., consumes] of them, and with Us is a retaining record. 50:5 بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِىٓ أَمْرٍ مَّرِيجٍ — But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused condition. 50:6 أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّـٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍ — Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts? 50:7 وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَـٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيجٍ — And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind, 50:8 تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيبٍ — Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allāh]. 50:9 وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً مُّبَـٰرَكًا فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّـٰتٍ وَحَبَّ ٱلْحَصِيدِ — And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest 50:10 وَٱلنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَـٰتٍ لَّهَا طَلْعٌ نَّضِيدٌ — And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers - 50:11 رِّزْقًا لِّلْعِبَادِ ۖ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِۦ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْخُرُوجُ — As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the emergence [i.e., resurrection]. 50:12 كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ — The people of Noah denied before them, 1 and the companions of the well 2 and Thamūd 50:13 وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَٰنُ لُوطٍ — And ʿAad and Pharaoh and the brothers [i.e., people] of Lot 50:14 وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ ۚ كُلٌّ كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ — And the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubbaʿ. All denied the messengers, so My threat was justly fulfilled. 50:15 أَفَعَيِينَا بِٱلْخَلْقِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِى لَبْسٍ مِّنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ — Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation. 50:16 وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفْسُهُۥ ۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ ٱلْوَرِيدِ — And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer 1 to him than [his] jugular vein. 50:17 إِذْ يَتَلَقَّى ٱلْمُتَلَقِّيَانِ عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٌ — When the two receivers [i.e., recording angels] receive, 1 seated on the right and on the left. 50:18 مَّا يَلْفِظُ مِن قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌ — He [i.e., man] utters no word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]. 50:19 وَجَآءَتْ سَكْرَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنتَ مِنْهُ تَحِيدُ — And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid. 50:20 وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلْوَعِيدِ — And the Horn will be blown.
