returning

مَزِيدٌ
(is) more
٣٥

وَكَمۡ
And how many
أَهۡلَكۡنَا
We destroyed
قَبۡلَهُم
before them
مِّن
of
قَرۡنٍ
a generation
هُمۡ
they
أَشَدُّ
(were) stronger
مِنۡهُم
than them
بَطۡشًا
(in) power
فَنَقَّبُواۡ
so they explored
فِى
throughout
ٱلۡبِلَـٰدِ
the lands
هَلۡ
Is (there)
مِن
any
مَّحِيصٍ
place of escape
٣٦
And how many a generation before them did We destroy who were greater than them in [striking] power and had explored throughout the lands. Is there any place of escape?
50:37
إِنَّ
Indeed
فِى
in
ذٰلِكَ
that
لَذِكۡرَىٰ
surely, is a reminder
لِمَن
for (one) who
كَانَ
is
لَهُۥ
for him
قَلۡبٌ
a heart
أَوۡ
or
أَلۡقَى
(who) gives ear
ٱلسَّمۡعَ
(who) gives ear
وَهُوَ
while he
شَهِيدٌ
(is) a witness
٣٧

50:38
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
خَلَقۡنَا
We created
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ
and the earth
وَمَا
and whatever
بَيۡنَهُمَا
(is) between both of them
فِى
in
سِتَّةِ
six
أَيَّامٍ
periods
وَمَا
and (did) not
مَسَّنَا
touch Us
مِن
any
لُّغُوبٍ
fatigue
٣٨
And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness.

the prostration
٤٠

a place
قَرِيبٍ
near
٤١

the Blast
بِٱلۡحَقِّ‌ۚ

That
يَوۡمُ
(is the) Day
ٱلۡخُرُوجِ
(of) coming forth
٤٢
The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves].
50:43
إِنَّا
Indeed, We
نَحۡنُ
[We]
نُحۡىِۦ
[We] give life
وَنُمِيتُ
and [We] cause death
وَإِلَيۡنَا
and to Us
ٱلۡمَصِيرُ
(is) the final return
٤٣
Indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination
50:44
يَوۡمَ
(The) Day
تَشَقَّقُ
will split
ٱلۡأَرۡضُ
the earth
عَنۡهُمۡ
from them
سِرَاعًا‌ۚ
hurrying
ذٰلِكَ
That
حَشۡرٌ
(is) a gathering
عَلَيۡنَا
for Us
يَسِيرٌ
easy
٤٤
On the Day the earth breaks away from them [and they emerge] rapidly; that is a gathering easy for Us.
50:45
نَّحۡنُ
We
أَعۡلَمُ
know best
بِمَا
[of] what
يَقُولُونَ‌ۖ
they say
وَمَآ
and not
أَنتَ
(are) you
عَلَيۡهِم
over them
بِجَبَّارٍ‌ۖ
the one to compel
فَذَكِّرۡ
But remind
بِٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ
with the Quran
مَن
whoever
يَخَافُ
fears
وَعِيدِ
My threat
٤٥
We are most knowing of what they say, and you are not over them a tyrant.1 But remind by the Qur’ān whoever fears My threat.
