Qaf By the glorious Quran!

But the disbelievers are amazed that a warner has come from among them and they say, ‘How strange!

To come back [to life] after we have died and become dust? That is too farfetched.’

We know very well what the earth takes away from them: We keep a comprehensive record.

But the disbelievers deny the truth when it comes to them; they are in a state of confusion.

قٓۚ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْمَجِيدِ

بَلْ عَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرࣱ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَيْءٌ عَجِيبٌ

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابࣰاۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعُۢ بَعِيدࣱ

قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَٰبٌ حَفِيظُۢ

بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِيٓ أَمْرࣲ مَّرِيجٍ

Do they not see the sky above them––how We have built and adorned it, with no rifts in it;

how We spread out the earth and put solid mountains on it, and caused every kind of joyous plant to grow in it,

as a lesson and reminder for every servant who turns to God;

and how We send blessed water down from the sky and grow with it gardens, the harvest grain,

and tall palm trees laden with clusters of dates,

as a provision for everyone; how with water We give [new] life to a land that is dead? This is how the dead will emerge [from their graves].

أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجࣲ

وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجِۭ بَهِيجࣲ

تَبْصِرَةࣰ وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدࣲ مُّنِيبࣲ

وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءࣰ مُّبَٰرَكࣰا فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّٰتࣲ وَحَبَّ ٱلْحَصِيدِ

وَٱلنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَٰتࣲ لَّهَا طَلْعࣱ نَّضِيدࣱ

رِّزْقࣰا لِّلْعِبَادِۖ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِۦ بَلْدَةࣰ مَّيْتࣰاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْخُرُوجُ

The people of Noah disbelieved long before these disbelievers, as did the people of Rass, Thamud,

Ad, Pharaoh, Lot,

the Forest-Dwellers, Tubba: all of these people disbelieved their messengers, and so My warning was realized.

So were We incapable of the first creation? No indeed! Yet they doubt a second creation.

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحࣲ وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ

وَعَادࣱ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَٰنُ لُوطࣲ

وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعࣲۚ كُلࣱّ كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ

أَفَعَيِينَا بِٱلْخَلْقِ ٱلْأَوَّلِۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِي لَبْسࣲ مِّنْ خَلْقࣲ جَدِيدࣲ
