1.  *     Qaf: By the Glorious Qur'an (Thou art Allah.s Messenger..
 
2.  *     But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves. So the Unbelievers say: "This is a wonderful thing!
 
3.  *     "What! When we die and become dust, (shall we live again?) That is a (sort of) return far (from our understanding)."
 
4.  *     We already know how much of them the earth takes away: With Us is a record guarding (the full account).
 
5.  *     But they deny the Truth when it comes to them: so they are in a confused state.
 
6.  *     Do they not look at the sky above them?- How We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?
 
7.  *     And the earth- We have spread it out, and set thereon mountains standing firm, and produced therein every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs)-
 
8.  *     To be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning (to Allah..
 
9.  *     And We send down from the sky rain charted with blessing, and We produce therewith gardens and Grain for harvests;
 
10.  *     And tall (and stately) palm-trees, with shoots of fruit-stalks, piled one over another;-
 
11.  *     As sustenance for ((Allah)'s) Servants;- and We give (new) life therewith to land that is dead: Thus will be the Resurrection.
 
12.  *     Before them was denied (the Hereafter) by the People of Noah, the Companions of the Rass, the Thamud,
 
13.  *     The 'Ad, Pharaoh, the brethren of Lut,
 
14.  *     The Companions of the Wood, and the People of Tubba'; each one (of them) rejected the apostles, and My warning was duly fulfilled (in them).
 
15.  *     Were We then weary with the first Creation, that they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation?
 
16.  *     It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein.
 
17.  *     Behold, two (guardian angels) appointed to learn (his doings) learn (and noted them), one sitting on the right and one on the left.
 
18.  *     Not a word does he utter but there is a sentinel by him, ready (to note it).
 
19.  *     And the stupor of death will bring Truth (before his eyes): "This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!"
 
20.  *     And the Trumpet shall be blown: that will be the Day whereof Warning (had been given).
 
21.  *     And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an (angel) to drive, and an (angel) to bear witness.
 
22.  *     (It will be said:) "Thou wast heedless of this; now have We removed thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this Day!"
 
23.  *     And his Companion will say: "Here is (his Record) ready with me!"
 
24.  *     (The sentence will be:) "Throw, throw into Hell every contumacious Rejecter (of Allah.!-
 
25.  *     "Who forbade what was good, transgressed all bounds, cast doubts and suspicions;
 
26.  *     "Who set up another god beside Allah. Throw him into a severe penalty."
 
27.  *     His Companion will say: "Our Lord! I did not make him transgress, but he was (himself) far astray."
 
28.  *     He will say: "Dispute not with each other in My Presence: I had already in advance sent you Warning.
 
29.  *     "The Word changes not before Me, and I do not the least injustice to My Servants."
 
30.  *     One Day We will ask Hell, "Art thou filled to the full?" It will say, "Are there any more (to come)?"
 
31.  *     And the Garden will be brought nigh to the Righteous,- no more a thing distant.
 
32.  *     (A voice will say:) "This is what was promised for you,- for every one who turned (to Allah. in sincere repentance, who kept (His Law),
 
33.  *     "Who feared ((Allah)) Most Gracious Unseen, and brought a heart turned in devotion (to Him):
 
34.  *     "Enter ye therein in Peace and Security; this is a Day of Eternal Life!"
 
35.  *     There will be for them therein all that they wish,- and more besides in Our Presence.
 
36.  *     But how many generations before them did We destroy (for their sins),- stronger in power than they? Then did they wander through the land: was there any place of escape (for them)?
 
37.  *     Verily in this is a Message for any that has a heart and understanding or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses (the truth).
 
38.  *     We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days, nor did any sense of weariness touch Us.
 
39.  *     Bear, then, with patience, all that they say, and celebrate the praises of thy Lord, before the rising of the sun and before (its) setting.
 
40.  *     And during part of the night, (also,) celebrate His praises, and (so likewise) after the postures of adoration.
 
41.  *     And listen for the Day when the Caller will call out from a place quiet near,-
 
42.  *     The Day when they will hear a (mighty) Blast in (very) truth: that will be the Day of Resurrection.
 
43.  *     Verily it is We Who give Life and Death; and to Us is the Final Goal-
 
44.  *     The Day when the Earth will be rent asunder, from (men) hurrying out: that will be a gathering together,- quite easy for Us.
 
45.  *     We know best what they say; and thou art not one to overawe them by force. So admonish with the Qur'an such as fear My Warning!
