And how many a generation We destroyed before them, who were mightier than these in prowess so that they overran the lands! Had they any place of refuge (when the judgment came)

Lo! therein verily is a reminder for him who hath a heart, or giveth ear with full intelligence

And verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six Days, and naught of weariness touched Us

Therefor (O Muhammad) bear with what they say, and hymn the praise of thy Lord before the rising and before the setting of the sun

And in the night-time hymn His praise, and after the (prescribed) prostrations

And listen on the day when the crier crieth from a near place

The day when they will hear the (Awful) Cry in truth. That is the day of coming forth (from the graves)

Lo! We it is Who quicken and give death, and unto Us is the journeying

On the day when the earth splitteth asunder from them, hastening forth (they come). That is a gathering easy for Us (to make)

We are Best Aware of what they say, and thou (O Muhammad) art in no wise a compeller over them. But warn by the Qur'an him who feareth My threat

Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'an

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

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

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

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

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