قٓۚ وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ ٱلۡمَجِيدِ ١
Qaf walqur-ani almajeed. Qaf. By the honored Qur'an...
بَلۡ عَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَقَالَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَيۡءٌ عَجِيبٌ ٢
Bal AAajiboo an jaahum munthirunminhum faqala alkafiroona hatha shay-onAAajeeb. But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing.
أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗاۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجۡعُۢ بَعِيدٞ ٣
A-itha mitna wakunna turabanthalika rajAAun baAAeed. When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant return."
قَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مِنۡهُمۡۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَٰبٌ حَفِيظُۢ ٤
Qad AAalimna ma tanqusual-ardu minhum waAAindana kitabun hafeeth. We know what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a retaining record.
بَلۡ كَذَّبُواْ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ فِيٓ أَمۡرٖ مَّرِيجٍ ٥
Bal kaththaboo bilhaqqilamma jaahum fahum fee amrin mareej. But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused condition.
أَفَلَمۡ يَنظُرُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوۡقَهُمۡ كَيۡفَ بَنَيۡنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّـٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٖ ٦
Afalam yanthuroo ila assama-ifawqahum kayfa banaynaha wazayyannahawama laha min furooj. Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?
وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنَٰهَا وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجِۭ بَهِيجٖ ٧
Wal-arda madadnahawaalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatnafeeha min kulli zawjin baheej. And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind,
تَبۡصِرَةٗ وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبۡدٖ مُّنِيبٖ ٨
Tabsiratan wathikralikulli AAabdin muneeb. Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allah ].
وَنَزَّلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ مُّبَٰرَكٗا فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّـٰتٖ وَحَبَّ ٱلۡحَصِيدِ ٩
Wanazzalna mina assama-imaan mubarakan faanbatna bihi jannatinwahabba alhaseed. And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest
وَٱلنَّخۡلَ بَاسِقَٰتٖ لَّهَا طَلۡعٞ نَّضِيدٞ ١٠
Wannakhla basiqatinlaha talAAun nadeed. And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers -
رِّزۡقٗا لِّلۡعِبَادِۖ وَأَحۡيَيۡنَا بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةٗ مَّيۡتٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡخُرُوجُ ١١
Rizqan lilAAibadi waahyaynabihi baldatan maytan kathalika alkhurooj. As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the resurrection.
كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ ١٢
Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohinwaas-habu arrassi wathamood. The people of Noah denied before them, and the companions of the well and Thamud
وَعَادٞ وَفِرۡعَوۡنُ وَإِخۡوَٰنُ لُوطٖ ١٣
WaAAadun wafirAAawnu wa-ikhwanuloot. And 'Aad and Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot
وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡأَيۡكَةِ وَقَوۡمُ تُبَّعٖۚ كُلّٞ كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ ١٤
Waas-habu al-aykati waqawmutubbaAAin kullun kaththaba arrusula fahaqqawaAAeed. And the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubba'. All denied the messengers, so My threat was justly fulfilled.
أَفَعَيِينَا بِٱلۡخَلۡقِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي لَبۡسٖ مِّنۡ خَلۡقٖ جَدِيدٖ ١٥
AfaAAayeena bilkhalqial-awwali bal hum fee labsin min khalqin jadeed. Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.
وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ وَنَعۡلَمُ مَا تُوَسۡوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفۡسُهُۥۖ وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنۡ حَبۡلِ ٱلۡوَرِيدِ ١٦
Walaqad khalaqna al-insanawanaAAlamu ma tuwaswisu bihi nafsuhu wanahnu aqrabuilayhi min habli alwareed. And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein
إِذۡ يَتَلَقَّى ٱلۡمُتَلَقِّيَانِ عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٞ ١٧
Ith yatalaqqa almutalaqqiyaniAAani alyameeni waAAani ashshimali qaAAeed. When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left.
مَّا يَلۡفِظُ مِن قَوۡلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيۡهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٞ ١٨
Ma yalfithu min qawlinilla ladayhi raqeebun AAateed. Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].
وَجَآءَتۡ سَكۡرَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِ بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنتَ مِنۡهُ تَحِيدُ ١٩
Wajaat sakratu almawti bilhaqqithalika ma kunta minhu taheed. And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid.
وَنُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡوَعِيدِ ٢٠
Wanufikha fee assoori thalikayawmu alwaAAeed. And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat.
وَجَآءَتۡ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّعَهَا سَآئِقٞ وَشَهِيدٞ ٢١
Wajaat kullu nafsin maAAaha sa-iqunwashaheed. And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness.
لَّقَدۡ كُنتَ فِي غَفۡلَةٖ مِّنۡ هَٰذَا فَكَشَفۡنَا عَنكَ غِطَآءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ حَدِيدٞ ٢٢
Laqad kunta fee ghaflatin min hathafakashafna AAanka ghitaaka fabasarukaalyawma hadeed. [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 قَرِينُهُۥ هَٰذَا مَا لَدَيَّ عَتِيدٌ ٢٣
Waqala qareenuhu hatha maladayya AAateed. And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared."
أَلۡقِيَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ عَنِيدٖ ٢٤
Alqiya fee jahannama kulla kaffarinAAaneed. [ Allah will say], "Throw into Hell every obstinate disbeliever,
مَّنَّاعٖ لِّلۡخَيۡرِ مُعۡتَدٖ مُّرِيبٍ ٢٥
MannaAAin lilkhayri muAAtadin mureeb. Preventer of good, aggressor, and doubter,
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَأَلۡقِيَاهُ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلشَّدِيدِ ٢٦
Allathee jaAAala maAAa Allahiilahan akhara faalqiyahu fee alAAathabiashshadeed. Who made [as equal] with Allah another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment."
۞قَالَ قَرِينُهُۥ رَبَّنَا مَآ أَطۡغَيۡتُهُۥ وَلَٰكِن كَانَ فِي ضَلَٰلِۭ بَعِيدٖ ٢٧
Qala qareenuhu rabbana maatghaytuhu walakin kana fee dalalinbaAAeed. His [devil] companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he [himself] was in extreme error."
قَالَ لَا تَخۡتَصِمُواْ لَدَيَّ وَقَدۡ قَدَّمۡتُ إِلَيۡكُم بِٱلۡوَعِيدِ ٢٨
Qala la takhtasimooladayya waqad qaddamtu ilaykum bilwaAAeed. [ Allah ] will say, "Do not dispute before Me, while I had already presented to you the warning.
مَا يُبَدَّلُ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ لَدَيَّ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِظَلَّـٰمٖ لِّلۡعَبِيدِ ٢٩
Ma yubaddalu alqawlu ladayya wamaana bithallamin lilAAabeed. The word will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants."
يَوۡمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ ٱمۡتَلَأۡتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلۡ مِن مَّزِيدٖ ٣٠
Yawma naqoolu lijahannama hali imtala'tiwataqoolu hal min mazeed. On the Day We will say to Hell, "Have you been filled?" and it will say, "Are there some more,"
وَأُزۡلِفَتِ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ غَيۡرَ بَعِيدٍ ٣١
Waozlifati aljannatu lilmuttaqeena ghayrabaAAeed. And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far,
هَٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٖ ٣٢
Hatha ma tooAAadoona likulliawwabin hafeeth. [It will be said], "This is what you were promised - for every returner [to Allah ] and keeper [of His covenant]
مَّنۡ خَشِيَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَجَآءَ بِقَلۡبٖ مُّنِيبٍ ٣٣
Man khashiya arrahmanabilghaybi wajaa biqalbin muneeb. Who feared the Most Merciful unseen and came with a heart returning [in repentance].

Odkhulooha bisalamin thalikayawmu alkhulood. Enter it in peace. This is the Day of Eternity."
لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيۡنَا مَزِيدٞ ٣٥
Lahum ma yashaoona feehawaladayna mazeed. They will have whatever they wish therein, and with Us is more.
وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هُمۡ أَشَدُّ مِنۡهُم بَطۡشٗا فَنَقَّبُواْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ هَلۡ مِن مَّحِيصٍ ٣٦
Wakam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin humashaddu minhum batshan fanaqqaboo fee albiladi halmin mahees. 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?
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكۡرَىٰ لِمَن كَانَ لَهُۥ قَلۡبٌ أَوۡ أَلۡقَى ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٞ ٣٧
Inna fee thalika lathikraliman kana lahu qalbun aw alqa assamAAawahuwa shaheed. Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind].
وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِن لُّغُوبٖ ٣٨
Walaqad khalaqna assamawatiwal-arda wama baynahuma fee sittatiayyamin wama massana min lughoob. And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness.
فَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ قَبۡلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمۡسِ وَقَبۡلَ ٱلۡغُرُوبِ ٣٩
Fasbir AAala mayaqooloona wasabbih bihamdi rabbika qabla tulooAAiashshamsi waqabla alghuroob. 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 ٱلَّيۡلِ فَسَبِّحۡهُ وَأَدۡبَٰرَ ٱلسُّجُودِ ٤٠
Wamina allayli fasabbihhu waadbaraassujood. And [in part] of the night exalt Him and after prostration.
وَٱسۡتَمِعۡ يَوۡمَ يُنَادِ ٱلۡمُنَادِ مِن مَّكَانٖ قَرِيبٖ ٤١
WastamiAA yawma yunadi almunadimin makanin qareeb. And listen on the Day when the Caller will call out from a place that is near -
يَوۡمَ يَسۡمَعُونَ ٱلصَّيۡحَةَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡخُرُوجِ ٤٢
Yawma yasmaAAoona assayhatabilhaqqi thalika yawmu alkhurooj. The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves].
إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نُحۡيِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَإِلَيۡنَا ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ٤٣
Inna nahnu nuhyeewanumeetu wa-ilayna almaseer. Indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination
يَوۡمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ عَنۡهُمۡ سِرَاعٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ حَشۡرٌ عَلَيۡنَا يَسِيرٞ ٤٤
Yawma tashaqqaqu al-ardu AAanhum siraAAanthalika hashrun AAalayna yaseer. On the Day the earth breaks away from them [and they emerge] rapidly; that is a gathering easy for Us.
نَّحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِجَبَّارٖۖ فَذَكِّرۡ بِٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ مَن يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ ٤٥
Nahnu aAAlamu bima yaqooloonawama anta AAalayhim bijabbarin fathakkir bilqur-animan yakhafu waAAeed. 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.
