قٓ ۚ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْمَجِيدِ ١

Qaf wal-qur'āni l-majīdi

Qaf By the glorious Quran!

بَلْ عَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا شَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ ٢

Bal ʿajibū an jāahum mundhirun min'hum faqāla l-kāfirūna hādhā shayon ʿajībun

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

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌۢ بَعِيدٌ ٣

A-idhā mit'nā wakunnā turāban dhālika rajʿun baʿīdun

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

قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَـٰبٌ حَفِيظٌۢ ٤

Qad ʿalim'nā mā tanquṣu l-arḍu min'hum waʿindanā kitābun ḥafīẓun

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

بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِىٓ أَمْرٍ مَّرِيجٍ ٥

Bal kadhabū bil-ḥaqi lammā jāahum fahum fī amrin marījin

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

أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّـٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍ ٦

Afalam yanẓurū ilā l-samāi fawqahum kayfa banaynāhā wazayyannāhā wamā lahā min furūjin

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

وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَـٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيجٍ ٧

Wal-arḍa madadnāhā wa-alqaynā fīhā rawāsiya wa-anbatnā fīhā min kulli zawjin bahījin

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

تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيبٍ ٨

Tabṣiratan wadhik'rā likulli ʿabdin munībin

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

وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً مُّبَـٰرَكًا فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّـٰتٍ وَحَبَّ ٱلْحَصِيدِ ٩

Wanazzalnā mina l-samāi māan mubārakan fa-anbatnā bihi jannātin waḥabba l-ḥaṣīdi

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

وَٱلنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَـٰتٍ لَّهَا طَلْعٌ نَّضِيدٌ ١٠

Wal-nakhla bāsiqātin lahā ṭalʿun naḍīdun

And tall palm trees laden with clusters of dates,
