قٓ ۚ۫ وَ الْقُرْاٰنِ الْمَجِیْدِۚ۝۱

QAF. I CALL to witness the glorious Qur´an.

بَلْ عَجِبُوْۤا اَنْ جَآءَهُمْ مُّنْذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ هٰذَا شَیْءٌ عَجِیْبٌۚ۝۲

They are rather surprised that a warner from among themselves has come to them. So the unbelievers say: "This is astonishing:

ءَاِذَا مِتْنَا وَ كُنَّا تُرَابًا ۚ ذٰلِكَ رَجْعٌۢ بَعِیْدٌ۝۳

When we are dead and turned to dust, this returning (to life) is most far-fetched."

قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنْقُصُ الْاَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ ۚ وَ عِنْدَنَا كِتٰبٌ حَفِیْظٌ۝۴

We know what the earth consumes of them, for We have the Book that preserves everything.

بَلْ كَذَّبُوْا بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِیْۤ اَمْرٍ مَّرِیْجٍ۝۵

But no! They called the truth a lie when it came to them; so they are in a confused state.

اَفَلَمْ یَنْظُرُوْۤا اِلَی السَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَیْفَ بَنَیْنٰهَا وَ زَیَّنّٰهَا وَ مَا لَهَا مِنْ فُرُوْجٍ۝۶

Have they not looked at the sky above them, how We have fashioned and adorned it, and it has no flaw?

وَ الْاَرْضَ مَدَدْنٰهَا وَ اَلْقَیْنَا فِیْهَا رَوَاسِیَ وَ اَنْۢبَتْنَا فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِیْجٍۙ۝۷

We stretched the earth and placed upon it firm stabilisers and We made every kind of splendid thing to grow upon it

تَبْصِرَةً وَّ ذِكْرٰی لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِیْبٍ۝۸

As instruction and reminder to every penitent creature.

وَ نَزَّلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً مُّبٰرَكًا فَاَنْۢبَتْنَا بِهٖ جَنّٰتٍ وَّ حَبَّ الْحَصِیْدِۙ۝۹

And We send down water as a blessing from the sky, and grow gardens with it and the grain for harvest,

وَ النَّخْلَ بٰسِقٰتٍ لَّهَا طَلْعٌ نَّضِیْدٌۙ۝۱۰

And tall date-palms with their spathes pile on pile
