50.1 . Qaf . By the glorious Quran ,

50.2 . Nay , but they marvel that a warner of their own hath come unto them ; and the disbelievers say : This is a strange thing :

50.3 . When we are dead and have become dust ( shall we be brought back again ) ? That would be a far return!

50.4 . We know that which the earth taketh of them , and with Us is a recording Book .

50.5 . Nay , but they have denied the truth when it came unto them , therefor they are now in troubled case .

50.6 . Have they not then observed the sky above them , how We have constructed it and beautified it , and how there are no rifts therein?

50.7 . And the earth have We spread out , and have flung firm hills therein , and have caused of every lovely kind to grow thereon ,

50.8 . A vision and a reminder for every penitent slave .

50.9 . And We send down from the sky blessed water whereby We give growth unto gardens and the grain of crops ,

50.10 . And lofty date palms with ranged clusters ,

50.11 . Provision ( made ) for men ; and therewith We quicken a dead land . Even so will be the resurrection of the dead .

50.12 . The folk of Noah denied ( the truth ) before them , and ( so did ) the dwellers at Ar Kass and ( the tribe of ) Thamud ,

50.13 . And ( the tribe of ) Aad , and Pharaoh , and the brethren of Lot ,

50.14 . And the dwellers in the wood , and the folk of Tubba : every one denied their messengers , therefor My threat took effect .

50.15 . Were We then worn out by the first creation? Yet they are in doubt about a new creation .

50.16 . We verily created a man and We know what his soul whispereth to him , and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein .

50.17 . When the two Receivers receive ( him ) , seated on the right hand and on the left ,

50.18 . He uttereth no word but there is with him an observer ready .

50.19 . And the agony of death cometh in truth . ( And it is said unto him ) : This is that which thou wast wont to shun .

50.20 . And the trumpet is blown . This is the threatened Day .
