Chapter 50, Page 518, Juz 26

1. Qãf. By the glorious Quran! 2. ˹All will be resurrected,˺ yet the deniers are astonished that a warner has come to them from among themselves ˹warning of resurrection˺. So the disbelievers say, “This is an astonishing thing! 3. ˹Will we be returned to life,˺ when we are dead and reduced to dust? Such a return is impossible.” 4. We certainly know what the earth consumes of them ˹after their death˺, and with us is a well-preserved Record. 5. In fact, they reject the truth when it has come to them, so they are in a confused state. 6. Have they not then looked at the sky above them: how We built it and adorned it ˹with stars˺, leaving it flawless? 7. As for the earth, We spread it out and placed upon it firm mountains, and produced in it every type of pleasant plant— 8. ˹all as˺ an insight and a reminder to every servant who turns ˹to Allah˺. 9. And We send down blessed rain from the sky, bringing forth gardens and grains for harvest, 10. and towering palm trees ˹loaded˺ with clustered fruit, 11. ˹as˺ a provision for ˹Our˺ servants. And with this ˹rain˺ We revive a lifeless land. Similar is the emergence ˹from the graves˺. 12. Before them, the people of Noah denied ˹the truth,˺ as did the people of the Water-pit, Thamûd, 13. ’Ȃd, Pharaoh, the kinfolk of Lot, 14. the residents of the Forest, and the people of Tubba’. Each rejected ˹their˺ messenger, so My warning was fulfilled. 15. Were We incapable of creating ˹them˺ the first time? In fact, they are in doubt about ˹their˺ re-creation.
