Yusuf Ali
Qaf: By the Glorious Qur´an (Thou art Allah´s Messenger).
Yusuf Ali
But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves. So the Unbelievers say: "This is a wonderful thing!
Yusuf Ali
"What! When we die and become dust, (shall we live again?) That is a (sort of) return far (from our understanding)."
Yusuf Ali
We already know how much of them the earth takes away: With Us is a record guarding (the full account).
Yusuf Ali
But they deny the Truth when it comes to them: so they are in a confused state.
Yusuf Ali
Do they not look at the sky above them?- How We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?
Yusuf Ali
And the earth- We have spread it out, and set thereon mountains standing firm, and produced therein every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs)-
Yusuf Ali
To be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning (to Allah).
Yusuf Ali
And We send down from the sky rain charted with blessing, and We produce therewith gardens and Grain for harvests;
Yusuf Ali
And tall (and stately) palm-trees, with shoots of fruit-stalks, piled one over another;-
Yusuf Ali
As sustenance for (Allah´s) Servants;- and We give (new) life therewith to land that is dead: Thus will be the Resurrection.
Yusuf Ali
Before them was denied (the Hereafter) by the People of Noah, the Companions of the Rass, the Thamud,
Yusuf Ali
The ´Ad, Pharaoh, the brethren of Lut,
Yusuf Ali
The Companions of the Wood, and the People of Tubba´; each one (of them) rejected the messengers, and My warning was duly fulfilled (in them).
Yusuf Ali
Were We then weary with the first Creation, that they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation?
Yusuf Ali
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.
Yusuf Ali
Behold, two (guardian angels) appointed to learn (his doings) learn (and noted them), one sitting on the right and one on the left.
Yusuf Ali
Not a word does he utter but there is a sentinel by him, ready (to note it).
Yusuf Ali
And the stupor of death will bring Truth (before his eyes): "This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!"
Yusuf Ali
And the Trumpet shall be blown: that will be the Day whereof Warning (had been given).
