Qaf By the Glorious Qur'an!
2
Nonetheless they are amazed that a warner should have come to them from among themselves and those who are kafir say, 'What an extraordinary thing!
3
When we are dead and turned to dust . . . ? That would be a most unlikely return!'
4
We know exactly how the earth eats them away. We possess an all-preserving Book.
5
But they denied the truth when it came to them. They are, therefore, in a very muddled state.
6
Have they not looked at the sky above them: how We structured it and made it beautiful and how there are no fissures in it?
7
And the earth: how We stretched it out and cast firmly embedded mountains onto it and caused luxuriant plants of every kind to grow in it,
8
an instruction and a reminder for every penitent human being.
9
And We sent down blessed water from the sky and made gardens grow by it and grain for harvesting
10
and soaring date-palms with layered spathes,
11
as provision for Our slaves; by it We brought a dead land to life. That is how the Emergence will take place.
12
Before them the people of Nuh also denied the truth and the Companions of Rass and Thamud,
13
and 'Ad and Pharaoh and the brothers of Lut
14
and the Companions of the Thicket and the people of Tubba'. Each one denied the Messengers and My promise proved true.
15
Were We exhausted by the first creation? Yet they are dubious about the new creation.
16
We created man and We know what his own self whispers to him. We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.
17
And the two recording angels are recording, sitting on the right and on the left.
18
He does not utter a single word, without a watcher by him, pen in hand!
19
The throes of death come revealing the truth. That is what you were trying to evade!
20
The Trumpet will be blown. That is the Day of the Threat.
21
Every self will come together with a driver and a witness:
22
'You were heedless of this so We have stripped you of your covering and today your sight is sharp.'
23
His inseparable comrade will say, 'This is what I have ready for you.'
24
'Hurl into Hell every obdurate kafir,
25
impeder of good, doubt-causing aggressor,
26
who set up another god together with Allah. Hurl him into the terrible punishment.'
27
His inseparable comrade will say, 'Our Lord, I did not make him overstep the limits. He was, in any case, far astray.'
28
He will say, 'Do not argue in My presence when I gave you advance warning of the Threat.
29
My Word, once given, is not subject to change and I do not wrong My slaves.'
30
On the Day He says to Hell, 'Are you full?' it will ask, 'Are there no more to come?'
