50:1  Qaf. By the glorious Quran,

50:2  However, they are astonished that a warner from amongst them had come to them. So, the disbelievers said, “This is an astonishing thing.

50:3  What! When we are dead, and we have become dust! That is a farfetched comeback!

50:4  WE have known in advance what the earth diminishes from them and with US is a preserved record.

50:5  But Nay! They called lies to the Truth when it came to them— they have since been in a confused state.

50:6  [In evidence of the timeless Truth]: Have they not observed the sky above them? How WE have built it and adorned it, and are there not any discontinuities to it?

50:7  And the earth, WE have spread it out and WE have strewn anchored mountains in it, and WE have proliferated in it of every splendored kind—

50:8  offering insight and a reminder for every devotee whose recourse is God.

50:9  And WE have sent down blessed water from the sky. Thus WE have proliferated gardens, and the harvest’s grain

50:10  and the date palms, towering high, with serried fruit-blossoms to them—

50:11  sustenance for the servants. And through it WE have given life to a dead land. Likewise, is the emergence [from death].

50:12  Before them, the people of Noah had called lies to the Truth, and [so did] the residents of Al Rass and Thamūd,

50:13  and Aad, and Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot,

50:14  and the dwellers of the thicket, and the people of Tubba. Each of them had denied the messengers. So, MY forewarning became real.

50:15  So then, did WE tire with the first creation? Yet they are incredulous of a new creation.

50:16  WE have created man, and WE know what his soul whispers to him. WE are closer to him than his jugular vein.

50:17  When the two attendees embed, seated in place on the right and on the left,

50:18  not any word does he form, except integral to him is a ready observer on watch.

50:19  And [when] comes the stupor of death, bearing Reality— that which you were steering away from

50:20  And [the souls] are blown into the forms. That is the day of the fully conveyed warning.

50:21  And came each soul— along with it, a driver, and a witness.

50:22  [It was said], “You were heretofore remiss from all of this— so WE have now lifted your veil from you. So, your sight today is blade sharp.”

50:23  And his attendant [who kept his record] said, “This which is with me is a ready and exact [record].”

50:24  [It was said], “You two, cast in Jahannam, every stubborn ingrate,

50:25  [Every] blocker of the good, [every] transgressor, [every] cynic.

50:26  The one who set up another god alongside Allah— such a one, cast him into the most intense punishment.”

50:27  Said a close companion of his [one that he chose], “Our Rabb, I did not cause him to transgress, but he was in error way afar.”

50:28  HE said, “Do not pass blame in MY presence. I had sent ahead unto you all, the fully conveyed forewarning.

50:29  The pronouncement directly from ME is not to change, and I am in no way an oppressive sovereign to MY subjects

50:30  on a day— WE ask Jahannam, “Are you filled?” And it asks, “Are there some more?”

50:31  And the Garden was brought near the God-conscious— not at all distant.

50:32  “This is what you were promised to each who turned often to God, stayed vigilant—

50:33  one who lived in awe of Al Raḥmān, in all that is hidden from him yet fully manifest to HIM, and has come with a repentant heart.

50:34  ‘Enter in peace [Salaam].’” That is the day of eternal being.

50:35  For them in it is whatever they will for, and with US in the divine realm is even more.

50:36  How many a generation before them have WE destroyed— more intense than them in prowess. So [instead of heeding the warning], they had scouted the lands [for a stronghold]. Is there any escape?

50:37  Verily, in that is definitely a reminder for one who has a heart, or one who lends an ear and is a keen observer.

50:38  WE did create the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, in six [heavenly] days, and not any weariness touched US.

50:39  So, persevere over what they say and extol the limitless glory of your Rabb with praise, before the rise of the sun and before the setting,

50:40  and during [parts of] the night, extol HIS almightiness and in the wake of the [regular] prostrations

50:41  And be attentive. On a day the caller is to call from a near place.

50:42  One day they will hear the final call, in reality. That is the day of the final emergence.

50:43  Surely, it is WE— WE give life, and WE give death and unto US is the end [of all journeys].

50:44  [This] day, the earth will swiftly split open over them. That resurrected assembly is easy for US.

50:45  WE best know about what they say, and you are not one to anywise force your will upon them. So just remind with the Quran, whoever is to fear MY forewarning.
