ق ۚ وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ

Qaaaf; wal Qur aanil Majeed

Qaf. By the honored Qur'an...

بَلْ عَجِبُوا أَن جَاءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَيْءٌ عَجِيبٌ

Bal 'ajibooo an jaa'ahum munzirum minhum faqaalal kaafiroona haazaa shai'un 'ajeeb

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

أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌ بَعِيدٌ

'A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaaban zaalika raj'um ba'eed

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

قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ الْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَابٌ حَفِيظٌ

Qad 'alimnaa maa tanqu-sul-ardu minhum wa 'indanaa Kitaabun Hafeez

We know what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a retaining record.

بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِي أَمْرٍ مَّرِيجٍ

Bal kazzaboo bilhaqqi lammaa jaaa'ahum fahum feee amrim mareej

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

أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَاهَا وَزَيَّنَّاهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍ

Afalam yanzurooo ilas samaaa'i fawqahum kaifa banainaahaa wa zaiyannaahaa wa maa lahaa min furooj

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

وَالْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ بَهِيجٍ

Wal arda madadnaahaa wa alqainaa feehaa rawaasiya wa ambatnaa feehaa min kulli zawjim baheej

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

تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيبٍ

Tabsiratanw wa zikraa likulli 'abdim muneeb

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

وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً مُّبَارَكًا فَأَنبَتْنَا بِهِ جَنَّاتٍ وَحَبَّ الْحَصِيدِ

Wa nazzalnaa minas samaaa'i maaa'am mubaarakan fa ambatnaa bihee jannaatinw wa habbal haseed

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

وَالنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَاتٍ لَّهَا طَلْعٌ نَّضِيدٌ

Wannakhla baasiqaatil laha tal'un nadeed

And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers -

رِّزْقًا لِّلْعِبَادِ ۖ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ الْخُرُوجُ

Rizqal lil'ibaad, wa ahyainaa bihee baldatam maitaa; kazaalikal khurooj

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

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَأَصْحَابُ الرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ

Kazzabat qablahum qawmu Noohinw wa Ashaabur Rassi wa Samood

The people of Noah denied before them, and the companions of the well and Thamud

وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَانُ لُوطٍ

Wa 'Aadunw wa Fir'awnu wikhwaanu loot

And 'Aad and Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot

وَأَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ ۚ كُلٌّ كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ

Wa Ashaabul Aykati wa qawmu Tubba'; kullun kazzabar Rusula fahaqqa wa'eed

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

أَفَعَيِينَا بِالْخَلْقِ الْأَوَّلِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِي لَبْسٍ مِّنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ

Afa'a yeenaa bilkhalqil awwal; bal hum fee labsim min khalqin jadeed

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