Q (Qaaf)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By Qaf and the glorious Quran, (you are the Messenger of God). 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 are dead and have become dust (shall we be brought back again)? That would be a far return! 3 We know what the earth consumes of them, for We have the Book that preserves everything. 4 In fact they denied the Truth when it came to them, so they are now in a dilemma. 5 Did they never observe the sky above them: how We built it and beautified it; and it has no cracks; 6 We spread out the earth and set upon it solid mountains and We brought forth from it all kinds of delightful plants, 7 All these are to serve as eye openers and as a lesson to every being who is prone to turn (to the Truth). 8 We also sent down blessed water from the heaven, wherewith We caused gardens and harvest-grain to grow, 9 And high date-palms with lush fruit. 10 as sustenance for My servants. With this We have brought the dead land back to life. Thus, will also be your resurrection. 11 Cried lies before them the people of Noah and the men of Er-Rass, and Thamood, 12 The 'Ad, Pharaoh, the brethren of Lut, 13 And the dwellers of the grove and the people of Tuba; all rejected the apostles, so My threat came to pass. 14 Were We then worn out by the first creation? Yet they are in doubt about a new creation. 15
