| 50:1 | | Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'an |
| 50:2 | | Nay, but they marvel that a warner of their own hath come unto them; and the disbelievers say: This is a strange thing |
| 50:3 | | When we are dead and have become dust (shall we be brought back again)? That would be a far return |
| 50:4 | | We know that which the earth taketh of them, and with Us is a recording Book |
| 50:5 | | Nay, but they have denied the truth when it came unto them, therefor they are now in troubled case |
| 50:6 | | Have they not then observed the sky above them, how We have constructed it and beautified it, and how there are no rifts therein |
| 50:7 | | And the earth have We spread out, and have flung firm hills therein, and have caused of every lovely kind to grow thereon |
| 50:8 | | A vision and a reminder for every penitent slave |
| 50:9 | | And We send down from the sky blessed water whereby We give growth unto gardens and the grain of crops |
| 50:10 | | And lofty date-palms with ranged clusters |
| 50:11 | | Provision (made) for men; and therewith We quicken a dead land. Even so will be the resurrection of the dead |
| 50:12 | | The folk of Noah denied (the truth) before them, and (so did) the dwellers at Ar-Rass and (the tribe of) Thamud |
| 50:13 | | And (the tribe of) A'ad, and Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot |
| 50:14 | | And the dwellers in the wood, and the folk of Tubb'a: every one denied their messengers, therefor My threat took effect |
| 50:15 | | Were We then worn out by the first creation? Yet they are in doubt about a new creation |
| 50:16 | | We verily created man and We know what his soul whispereth to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein |
| 50:17 | | When the two Receivers receive (him), seated on the right hand and on the left |
| 50:18 | | He uttereth no word but there is with him an observer ready |
| 50:19 | | And the agony of death cometh in truth. (And it is said unto him): This is that which thou wast wont to shun |
| 50:20 | | And the trumpet is blown. This is the threatened Day |
| 50:21 | | And every soul cometh, along with it a driver and a witness |
| 50:22 | | (And unto the evil-doer it is said): Thou wast in heedlessness of this. Now We have removed from thee thy covering, and piercing is thy sight this day |
| 50:23 | | And (unto the evil-doer) his comrade saith: This is that which I have ready (as testimony) |
| 50:24 | | (And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate |
| 50:25 | | Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter |
| 50:26 | | Who setteth up another god along with Allah. Do ye twain hurl him to the dreadful doom |
| 50:27 | | His comrade saith: Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel, but he was (himself) far gone in error |
| 50:28 | | He saith: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered unto you the warning |
| 50:29 | | The sentence that cometh from Me cannot be changed, and I am in no wise a tyrant unto the slaves |
| 50:30 | | On the day when We say unto hell: Art thou filled? and it saith: Can there be more to come |
| 50:31 | | And the Garden is brought nigh for those who kept from evil, no longer distant |
| 50:32 | | (And it is said): This is that which ye were promised. (It is) for every penitent and heedful one |
| 50:33 | | Who feareth the Beneficent in secret and cometh with a contrite heart |
| 50:34 | | Enter it in peace. This is the day of immortality |
| 50:35 | | There they have all that they desire, and there is more with Us |
| 50:36 | | And how many a generation We destroyed before them, who were mightier than these in prowess so that they overran the lands! Had they any place of refuge (when the judgment came) |
| 50:37 | | Lo! therein verily is a reminder for him who hath a heart, or giveth ear with full intelligence |
| 50:38 | | And verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six Days, and naught of weariness touched Us |
| 50:39 | | Therefor (O Muhammad) bear with what they say, and hymn the praise of thy Lord before the rising and before the setting of the sun |
| 50:40 | | And in the night-time hymn His praise, and after the (prescribed) prostrations |
| 50:41 | | And listen on the day when the crier crieth from a near place |
| 50:42 | | The day when they will hear the (Awful) Cry in truth. That is the day of coming forth (from the graves) |
| 50:43 | | Lo! We it is Who quicken and give death, and unto Us is the journeying |
| 50:44 | | On the day when the earth splitteth asunder from them, hastening forth (they come). That is a gathering easy for Us (to make) |
| 50:45 | | We are Best Aware of what they say, and thou (O Muhammad) art in no wise a compeller over them. But warn by the Qur'an him who feareth My threat |
