Surah Qaf Meaning In English

• 1. Qaf. By the Glorious Qur’an [you, O Muhammad, are indeed the Messenger of Allah],
• 2. But they deem it strange that a wamer has come to them from among themselves, and the disbelievers say: This is a strange thing indeed!
• 3. What! When we have died and have turned into dust [will we be brought back to life]? That is farfetched indeed!
• 4. Indeed We know what the earth consumes of them; with Us is a record that preserves everything.
• 5. Rather they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a state of confusion.
• 6. Have they not looked at the heaven above them – how We have constructed it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?
• 7. And the earth We have spread out, and set therein mountains standing firm, and caused to grow therein beautiful plants of every kind.
• 8. All that is [a source of] insight and a reminder for every slave who turns to Allah [and reflects upon His signs].
• 9. We send down from the sky blessed rain, with which We cause to grow gardens and the grain that is harvested,
• 10. and lofty date palms with spathes containing tightly-packed flower-clusters,

• 11. as provision for people, and We give life thereby to a dead land. In like manner will be the resurrection.
• 12. Before them the people of Nooh, the people of the well, and Thamood also disbelieved,
• 13. [as did] ‘Ad, Pharaoh and the brethren of Loot,
• 14. and the dwellers of the Wood, and the people of Tubba’. All of them rejected the Messengers, and My warning was duly fulfilled.
• 15. Did We fail in the first creation [so that they think that We are unable to recreate them on the Day of Resurrection]? Rather they are in doubt about the resurrection.
• 16. We have created man, and We know what his soul whispers within him, for We are closer to him than his jugular vein,
• 17. when the two recording angels record [his deeds], constantly accompanying him, one on his right, the other on his left.
• 18. Not a word does he utter but there is with him a watcher, ready to record it.
• 19. The throes of death will bring the truth [before his eyes]: This is what you have been trying to avoid.
• 20. And the Trumpet will be blown; that will be the day whereof warning [had been given].

• 21. Every soul will come, accompanied by [an angel] to drive him on and another to bear witness.
• 22. [It will be said:] You were heedless of this; now We have removed the veil for you and your vision today is keen.
• 23. His companion [the angel who recorded his deeds] will say: Here is [the record of his deeds] ready with me.
• 24. [It will be said to the two angels:] Throw into hell every obstinate disbeliever,
• 25. every withholder of good, transgressor, doubter,
• 26. who set up another god besides Allah. Throw him into the severe punishment.
• 27. His [devil] companion will say: Our Lord, it was not I who misled him; he himself had already gone far astray.
• 28. Allah will say: Do not argue with one another in My presence when I had already sent you warning.
• 29. My word cannot be changed, and I am never unjust to My slaves.
• 30. [Warn them of] the day when We will say to hell: Are you full? and it will say: Can there be any more to come?

• 31. Paradise will be brought within sight of the righteous, not far off.
• 32. [It will be said:] This is what you were promised; it is for everyone who constantly turned [to Us] and remained dutiful,
• 33. and feared the Most Gracious unseen, and came with a sincere heart.
• 34. Enter here in peace; this is the day of eternity.
• 35. There they will have all that they wish for, and with Us there is yet more.
• 36. How many nations We destroyed before them [Quraysh] who were stronger in power than them! They ventured through many lands, but did they find any escape?
• 37. Verily in that is a reminder for anyone who understands and listens attentively with full presence of mind.
• 38. Verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six days and no toil or weariness touched Us.
• 39. So bear patiently what they say, and glorify and praise your Lord before the rising of the sun and before [its] setting,
• 40. and glorify Him in the night and after the prayers.

• 41. Listen! On the day when the Caller will call out from a place nearby,
• 42. the day when they will hear the [second] Trumpet blast in truth, that will be the Day of Resurrection.
• 43. Verily it is We Who give life and cause death, and unto Us is the return [of all].
• 44. On the day when the earth will be rent asunder for them as they hasten forth [from their graves], that will be a gathering that is easy for Us.
• 45. We know best what they say, and you are not sent to compel them to believe. But admonish with the Qur’an those who fear My warning.
