قٓ ۚ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْمَجِيدِ

Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'an,

Qaf walqur-ani almajeed

بَلْ عَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا شَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ

Nay, but they marvel that a warner of their own hath come unto them; and the disbelievers say: This is a strange thing:

Bal AAajiboo an jaahum munthirunminhum faqala alkafiroona hatha shay-onAAajeeb

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌۢ بَعِيدٌ

When we are dead and have become dust (shall we be brought back again)? That would be a far return!

قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَـٰبٌ حَفِيظٌۢ

We know that which the earth taketh of them, and with Us is a recording Book.

بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِىٓ أَمْرٍ مَّرِيجٍ

Nay, but they have denied the truth when it came unto them, therefor they are now in troubled case.

Bal kaththaboo bilhaqqilamma jaahum fahum fee amrin mareej

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

Have they not then observed the sky above them, how We have constructed it and beautified it, and how there are no rifts therein?

Afalam yanthuroo ila assama-ifawqahum kayfa banaynaha wazayyannahawama laha min furooj

And the earth have We spread out, and have flung firm hills therein, and have caused of every lovely kind to grow thereon,

And We send down from the sky blessed water whereby We give growth unto gardens and the grain of crops,
