Qaf. By the honored Qur'an... ^[1]

But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing. ^[2]

When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant return." ^[3]

We know what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a retaining record. ^[4]

But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused condition. ^[5]

Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts? ^[6]

And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind, ^[7]

Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allah]. ^[8]

And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest ^[9]

And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers - ^[10]

As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the resurrection. ^[11]

The people of Noah denied before them, and the companions of the well and Thamud ^[12]

And 'Aad and Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot ^[13]

And the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubba'. All denied the messengers, so My threat was justly fulfilled. ^[14]

Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation. ^[15]

And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein ^[16]

When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left. ^[17]

Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]. ^[18]

And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid. ^[19]

And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat. ^[20]
