Sura 50 Q
Q., and the glorious Quran.* 2They found it strange that a warner from among them came to them! The disbelievers said, "This is really strange. 3"After we die and become dust; this is impossible." 4We are fully aware of any one of them who gets consumed by the earth; we have an accurate record. 5They rejected the truth when it came to them; they are utterly confused. 6Have they not looked at the sky above them, and how we constructed it and adorned it, without a flaw? 7And we created the earth, and scattered on it mountains, and grew in it all kinds of beautiful plants. 8This is an enlightenment, and a reminder for every pious worshiper. 9And we sent from the sky blessed water, to grow with it gardens and grains to be harvested. 10Tall date palms, with clustered fruit. 11Provisions for the people. And we revive with it dead lands; you are similarly resurrected. 12Disbelieving before them were the people of Noah, the dwellers of Russ, and Thamûd.
*50:1 See Appendix 1 for the awesome miracles connected with the Initial Q (ق).
13And 'Ãd, Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot. 14And the dwellers of the woods, and the people of Tubba'. All of them disbelieved the messengers and, consequently, My retribution befell them. 15Were we too burdened by the first creation? Is this why they doubt resurrection? 16We created the human, and we know what he whispers to himself. We are closer to him than his jugular vein. 17Two recording (angels), at right and at left, are constantly recording. 18Not an utterance does he utter without an alert witness. 19Finally, the inevitable coma of death comes; this is what you tried to evade. 20The horn is blown; this is the promised day. 21Every soul comes with a herder and a witness. 22You used to be oblivious to this. We now remove your veil; today, your vision is (as strong as) steel. 23The companion said, "Here is my formidable testimony."*
*50:23 Your life-time companion witnesses everything you do. See Appendix 7.
24Throw into Gehenna every stubborn disbeliever. 25Forbidder of charity, aggressor, full of doubt. 26He set up besides GOD another god. Throw him into severe retribution. 27His companion said, "Our Lord, I did not mislead him; he was far astray." 28He said, "Do not feud in front of Me; I have sufficiently warned you. 29"Nothing can be changed now. I am never unjust towards the people." 30That is the day when we ask Hell, "Have you had enough?" It will say, "Give me more." 31Paradise will be offered to the righteous, readily. 32This is what was promised to every repenter, steadfast. 33They reverenced the Most Gracious, in their privacy, and came wholeheartedly. 34Enter it in peace; this is the Day of Eternity. 35They get anything they wish therein, and we have even more. 36Many a generation before them, who were more powerful, we annihilated. They searched the land; did they find an escape? 37This should be a lesson for everyone who possesses a mind, or is able to hear and witness.
38We have created the heavens and the earth, and everything between them in six days, and no fatigue touched us. 39Therefore, be patient in the face of their utterances, and praise and glorify your Lord before sunrise, and before sunset. 40During the night you shall meditate on His name, and after prostrating. 41Prepare for the day when the caller calls from a place that is near. 42When they hear the inevitable cry; that is the day you come out. 43We are the ones who control life and death; to us is the final destiny. 44The day will come when the earth cracks in a hurry, giving rise to them. Such summoning is easy for us to do. 45We are fully aware of everything they utter, while you have no power over them. Therefore, remind with this Quran, those who reverence My warnings.
