Sahih International

Qāf.1 By the honored Qur’ān...2

Sahih International

But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing.

Sahih International

When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant [i.e., unlikely] return."

Sahih International

We know what the earth diminishes [i.e., consumes] of them, and with Us is a retaining record.

Sahih International

But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused condition.

Sahih International

Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?

Sahih International

And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind,

Sahih International

Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allāh].

Sahih International

And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest

Sahih International

And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers -

Sahih International

As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the emergence [i.e., resurrection].

Sahih International

The people of Noah denied before them,1 and the companions of the well2 and Thamūd

Sahih International

And ʿAad and Pharaoh and the brothers [i.e., people] of Lot

Sahih International

And the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubbaʿ. All denied the messengers, so My threat was justly fulfilled.

Sahih International

Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.

Sahih International

And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer1 to him than [his] jugular vein.

Sahih International

When the two receivers [i.e., recording angels] receive,1 seated on the right and on the left.

Sahih International

He [i.e., man] utters no word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].

Sahih International

And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid.

Sahih International

And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat.

Sahih International

And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness.1

Sahih International

[It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover,1 so your sight, this Day, is sharp."

Sahih International

And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared."

Sahih International

[Allāh will say], "Throw into Hell every obstinate disbeliever,

Sahih International

Preventer of good, aggressor, and doubter,

Sahih International

Who made [as equal] with Allāh another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment."

Sahih International

His [devil] companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he [himself] was in extreme error."

Sahih International

[Allāh] will say, "Do not dispute before Me, while I had already presented to you the threat [i.e., warning].

Sahih International

The word [i.e., decree] will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants."

Sahih International

On the Day We will say to Hell, "Have you been filled?" and it will say, "Are there some more,"

Sahih International

And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far,

Sahih International

[It will be said], "This is what you were promised - for every returner [to Allāh] and keeper [of His covenant].

Sahih International

Who feared the Most Merciful in the unseen and came with a heart returning [in repentance].

Sahih International

Enter it in peace. This is the Day of Eternity."

Sahih International

They will have whatever they wish therein, and with Us is more.

Sahih International

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?

Sahih International

Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind].

Sahih International

And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness.

Sahih International

So be patient, [O Muḥammad], over what they say and exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting,

Sahih International

And [in part] of the night exalt Him and after prostration [i.e., prayer].

Sahih International

And listen on the Day when the Caller1 will call out from a place that is near -

Sahih International

The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves].

Sahih International

Indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination

Sahih International

On the Day the earth breaks away from them [and they emerge] rapidly; that is a gathering easy for Us.

Sahih International

We are most knowing of what they say, and you are not over them a tyrant.1 But remind by the Qur’ān whoever fears My threat.
