Surah Qaf - English Translation by Mufti Taqi Usmani


قٓۚ وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ ٱلۡمَجِيدِ

Qāf . (I swear) by the glorious Qur’ān, (you are sent as a messenger)
Surah Qaf, Verse 1


بَلۡ عَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَقَالَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَيۡءٌ عَجِيبٌ

But they wonder that a warner has come to them from among themselves; so the disbelievers said, “This is something strange
Surah Qaf, Verse 2


أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗاۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجۡعُۢ بَعِيدٞ

Is it when we die and become dust (that we will be brought to life again?) That is a return, far (from understanding).”
Surah Qaf, Verse 3


قَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مِنۡهُمۡۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَٰبٌ حَفِيظُۢ

We know very well how much of them is diminished by the earth, and We have a Book that Preserves every thing
Surah Qaf, Verse 4


بَلۡ كَذَّبُواْ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ فِيٓ أَمۡرٖ مَّرِيجٍ

Rather, they rejected the truth when it came to them; so they are in a confused state
Surah Qaf, Verse 5


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

Did they not, then, look to the sky above them, how We have built it and beautified it, and it has no cracks
Surah Qaf, Verse 6


وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنَٰهَا وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجِۭ بَهِيجٖ

As for the earth, We have spread it out, and cast on it firm hills, and caused to grow therein every kind of delightful things
Surah Qaf, Verse 7


تَبۡصِرَةٗ وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبۡدٖ مُّنِيبٖ

as a source of vision and as a lesson to every servant (of Allah) who turns (to Him for guidance)
Surah Qaf, Verse 8


وَنَزَّلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ مُّبَٰرَكٗا فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّـٰتٖ وَحَبَّ ٱلۡحَصِيدِ

And We sent down blessed water from the sky, and caused to grow therewith gardens and grain of harvest
Surah Qaf, Verse 9


وَٱلنَّخۡلَ بَاسِقَٰتٖ لَّهَا طَلۡعٞ نَّضِيدٞ

and towering date palms that have spadices, put one upon another
Surah Qaf, Verse 10


رِّزۡقٗا لِّلۡعِبَادِۖ وَأَحۡيَيۡنَا بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةٗ مَّيۡتٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡخُرُوجُ

as a provision to the servants (of Allah). And We gave life with it to a dead land. Similar will be the exit (of the dead from their graves)
Surah Qaf, Verse 11


كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ

It (resurrection) was rejected before them by the people of NūH, and the people of Rass and Thamūd
Surah Qaf, Verse 12


وَعَادٞ وَفِرۡعَوۡنُ وَإِخۡوَٰنُ لُوطٖ

and ‘Ād, and Fir’aun (Pharaoh), and the brothers of LūT
Surah Qaf, Verse 13


وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡأَيۡكَةِ وَقَوۡمُ تُبَّعٖۚ كُلّٞ كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ

and dwellers of Aaikah, and the people of Tubba’. Each one of them rejected the messengers; so My threat came true
Surah Qaf, Verse 14


أَفَعَيِينَا بِٱلۡخَلۡقِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي لَبۡسٖ مِّنۡ خَلۡقٖ جَدِيدٖ

Is it, then, that We were worn out by the first creation? No, but they are still in confusion about the new creation
Surah Qaf, Verse 15


وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ وَنَعۡلَمُ مَا تُوَسۡوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفۡسُهُۥۖ وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنۡ حَبۡلِ ٱلۡوَرِيدِ

Indeed We have created man, and We know whatever thoughts his inner self develops, and We are closer to him than (his) jugular vein
Surah Qaf, Verse 16


إِذۡ يَتَلَقَّى ٱلۡمُتَلَقِّيَانِ عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٞ

when the two receiving angels receive (every human act to record it), seated (one) on the right and (one) on the left
Surah Qaf, Verse 17


مَّا يَلۡفِظُ مِن قَوۡلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيۡهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٞ

Not a single word is uttered by one but there is a watcher near him, ready (to record)
Surah Qaf, Verse 18


وَجَآءَتۡ سَكۡرَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِ بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنتَ مِنۡهُ تَحِيدُ

The daze of death has (to) come with truth. That is what you tried to escape
Surah Qaf, Verse 19


وَنُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡوَعِيدِ

And the Horn will be blown. That will be the day of (which) threat (was given)
Surah Qaf, Verse 20


وَجَآءَتۡ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّعَهَا سَآئِقٞ وَشَهِيدٞ

And everybody will come, along with one (angel) to drive (him to the field of reckoning) and one (angel) to testify (about his deeds)
Surah Qaf, Verse 21


لَّقَدۡ كُنتَ فِي غَفۡلَةٖ مِّنۡ هَٰذَا فَكَشَفۡنَا عَنكَ غِطَآءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ حَدِيدٞ

“You were heedless of this. Now We have removed your veil from you; so your sight today is sharp.”

(Then it will be said,) “Cast, (O two angels,) into Jahannam (Hell) every obstinate disbeliever

ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَأَلۡقِيَاهُ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلشَّدِيدِ

who set up another god along with Allah. So cast him (O angels) in the painful punishment.”
Surah Qaf, Verse 26


۞قَالَ قَرِينُهُۥ رَبَّنَا مَآ أَطۡغَيۡتُهُۥ وَلَٰكِن كَانَ فِي ضَلَٰلِۭ بَعِيدٖ

His (evil) companion (i.e. the Satan) will say, “O our Lord, I did not cause him to rebel, but he was himself (involved) in straying far from the track.”

قَالَ لَا تَخۡتَصِمُواْ لَدَيَّ وَقَدۡ قَدَّمۡتُ إِلَيۡكُم بِٱلۡوَعِيدِ

He (Allah) will say, “Do not quarrel before Me, while I had sent to you My threat well in advance

يَوۡمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ عَنۡهُمۡ سِرَاعٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ حَشۡرٌ عَلَيۡنَا يَسِيرٞ

on the Day when the earth will burst apart exposing them, while they will be hurrying up (to come out). That is an assembly, so easy for Us (to muster)
Surah Qaf, Verse 44


نَّحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِجَبَّارٖۖ فَذَكِّرۡ بِٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ مَن يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ
