   Qāf. By the honored Qur’ān...

   ق 1

2. بَلْ عَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا شَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ

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

   ق 2

3. أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌۢ بَعِيدٌ

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

   ق 3

4. قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَـٰبٌ حَفِيظٌۢ

   We know what the earth diminishes [i.e., consumes] of them, and with Us is a retaining record.

5. بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِىٓ أَمْرٍ مَّرِيجٍ

6. أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّـٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍ

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

   ق 6

7. وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَـٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيجٍ

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

   ق 7

8. تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيبٍ

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

   ق 8

9. وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً مُّبَـٰرَكًا فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّـٰتٍ وَحَبَّ ٱلْحَصِيدِ

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

11. رِّزْقًا لِّلْعِبَادِ ۖ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِۦ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْخُرُوجُ

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

12. كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ

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