Chapter 50, Page 518, Juz 26

1. Qāf . (I swear) by the glorious Qur’ān, (you are sent as a messenger.) 2. But they wonder that a warner has come to them from among themselves; so the disbelievers said, “This is something strange. 3. Is it when we die and become dust (that we will be brought to life again?) That is a return, far (from understanding).” 4. We know very well how much of them is diminished by the earth, and We have a Book that Preserves every thing. 5. Rather, they rejected the truth when it came to them; so they are in a confused state. 6. Did they not, then, look to the sky above them, how We have built it and beautified it, and it has no cracks? 7. 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, 8. as a source of vision and as a lesson to every servant (of Allah) who turns (to Him for guidance). 9. And We sent down blessed water from the sky, and caused to grow therewith gardens and grain of harvest, 10. and towering date palms that have spadices, put one upon another, 11. 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). 12. It (resurrection) was rejected before them by the people of NūH, and the people of Rass and Thamūd, 13. and ‘Ād, and Fir’aun (Pharaoh), and the brothers of LūT, 14. and dwellers of Aaikah, and the people of Tubba’. Each one of them rejected the messengers; so My threat came true. 15. Is it, then, that We were worn out by the first creation? No, but they are still in confusion about the new creation.
