Qaf: By the Glorious Qur´an (Thou art Allah´s Messenger).

بَلۡ عَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَقَالَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَيۡءٌ عَجِيبٌ

Bal AAajiboo an jaahum munthirun minhum faqala alkafiroona hatha shayon AAajeebun

But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves. So the Unbelievers say: "This is a wonderful thing!

Aitha mitna wakunna turaban thalika rajAAun baAAeedun

"What! When we die and become dust, (shall we live again?) That is a (sort of) return far (from our understanding)."

Qad AAalimna ma tanqusu alardu minhum waAAindana kitabun hafeethun

We already know how much of them the earth takes away: With Us is a record guarding (the full account).

Bal kaththaboo bialhaqqi lamma jaahum fahum fee amrin mareejin

But they deny the Truth when it comes to them: so they are in a confused state.

أَفَلَمۡ يَنظُرُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوۡقَهُمۡ كَيۡفَ بَنَيۡنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٖ

Afalam yanthuroo ila alssamai fawqahum kayfa banaynaha wazayyannaha wama laha min furoojin

Do they not look at the sky above them?- How We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنَٰهَا وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجِۭ بَهِيجٖ

Waalarda madadnaha waalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatna feeha min kulli zawjin baheejin
