Section 2 [Qaf 50:16] And indeed We have created man and We know what his soul instils in him; and We are nearer to him than the heart’s artery. [Qaf 50:17] When the two Receiving Angels receive (his deeds), one seated on the right and one on the left. [Qaf 50:18] He does not utter a single word, without a ready recorder seated next to him. [Qaf 50:19] And the hardship of death came with the truth; “This is what you were escaping from!” [Qaf 50:20] And the Trumpet was blown; “This is the Day of the promised punishment.” [Qaf 50:21] And every soul came, along with a herder and a witness. [Qaf 50:22] “You were indeed neglectful of this, so We have removed the veil for you, and your eyesight is sharp this day.” [Qaf 50:23] And his accompanying angel said, “This is the record of your deeds, available with me.” [Qaf 50:24] It will be said to the angels, “Both of you fling every excessive ungrateful, stubborn person into hell.” [Qaf 50:25] “The one who excessively prevented from virtue, the transgressor, the doubtful.” [Qaf 50:26] “The one who appointed another God along with Allah – so both of you fling him into the severe punishment.” [Qaf 50:27] His accompanying devil said, “Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel, but he himself was in extreme error.” [Qaf 50:28] He will say, “Do not dispute before Me – I had already warned you of the punishment.” [Qaf 50:29] “With Me, the decree does not change, and nor do I oppress the bondmen.” Section 3 [Qaf 50:30] The day when We will ask hell, “Are you filled up?” and it will answer, “Are there some more?” [Qaf 50:31] And Paradise will be brought close to the pious, not far away from them. [Qaf 50:32] This is what you are promised – for every repenting, careful person. [Qaf 50:33] Who fears the Most Gracious without seeing, and came with a heart that inclines. [Qaf 50:34] It will be said to him, “Enter it in peace; this is the day of eternity.” [Qaf 50:35] In it for them is all that they may desire,
and with Us is more than it. |
