Chapter 50
In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
50:1 Q, and the Qur'an of glory.
50:2 Are they surprised that a warner has come to them from amongst them, so the rejecters said: "This is something strange!"
50:3 "Can it be that when we are dead and we become dust, that we come back later?"
50:4 We know which of them has become consumed with the earth; and We have with Us a record which keeps track.
50:5 But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused state.
50:6 Did they not look to the heaven above them, how We built it, and adorned it, and how it has no openings?
50:7 And the land We extended it, and placed in it stabilizers, and We gave growth in it to every pair that is pleasing.
50:8 Something to see and a reminder for every pious servant.
50:9 And We sent down from the sky blessed water, and We gave growth with it to gardens and grain that is harvested.
50:10 And the palm trees, emerging with clustering fruit.
50:11 A provision for the servants, and We gave life with it to the land which was dead. Such is the resurrection.
50:12 Before their denial was that of the people of Noah, and the dwellers of Al-Raas, and Thamud.
50:13 And 'Aad, and Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot.
50:14 And the people of the Sycamore, and the people of Tubba`. All of them disbelieved the messengers, so the promise came to pass.
50:15 Did We have any difficulty in making the first creation? No, they are in confusion about the next creation.
50:16 And We have created the human being and We know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than his jugular vein.
50:17 When the two receivers meet on the right and on the left.
50:18 He does not utter a word except a watcher is constantly with him.
50:19 And the moment of death came with truth: "This is what you have been trying to avoid!"
50:20 And the horn is blown on the promised Day.
50:21 And every soul is brought, being driven, and with a witness.
50:22 "You were heedless of this, so now We have removed your cover, and your sight today is iron!"
50:23 And his associate said: "Here is one who is a transgressor."
50:24 "Cast in Hell every stubborn rejecter."
50:25 "Denier of good, transgressor, doubter."
50:26 "The one who has set up with God another god; so cast him into the severe retribution."
50:27 His associate said: "Our Lord, I did not corrupt him, but he was already far astray."
50:28 He said: "Do not argue with each other before Me, I have already presented you with My promise."
50:29 "The sentence will not be changed with Me, and I do not wrong the servants."
50:30 The Day We say to Hell: "Are you full?" And it says: "Is there not more?"
50:31 And Paradise is brought near to the righteous, not far off.
50:32 This is what you have been promised, for every obedient, steadfast.
50:33 Who is concerned towards the Almighty while unseen, and came with a repenting heart.
50:34 Enter it in peace. This is the Day of eternal life.
50:35 In it they will have what they wish, and We have even more.
50:36 And how many a generation before them have We destroyed? They were stronger in power, and they had dominated the land. Did they find any refuge?
50:37 In that is a reminder for whoever has a heart, or cares to listen while he is heedful.
50:38 And We have created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days, and no fatigue touched Us.
50:39 So be patient to what they are saying, and glorify the grace of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting.
50:40 And from the night glorify Him, and after prostrating.
50:41 And listen to the Day when the caller will call from a near place.
50:42 The Day they hear the scream with the truth. That is the Day of coming out.
50:43 We are the Ones who give life and bring death, and to Us is the destiny.
50:44 The Day when the earth will rapidly crumble away from them; that will be a gathering which is easy for Us.
50:45 We are fully aware of what they say; and you are not a tyrant over them. So remind with the Qur'an those who fear My promise.
