This is Quran chapter 50
In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Qaf. By the glorious Quran!
Nay, they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves; and the disbelievers say, 'This is a marvellous thing! What, when we are dead and have become dust? - that is a far return!'
Certainly, We know what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a book guarding.
Nay, they call the truth a lie when it comes to them, and they are in a confused affair.
Have they not looked at the heavens above them, how We have built it and adorned it, and it has no flaws?
And the earth, We have stretched it out and thrown in it firm mountains, and caused to grow therein of every beautiful kind. An insight and a reminder to every servant who repents! And We sent down from the heaven water as a blessing, and caused to grow therewith gardens and the harvest grain! And the tall palm trees having piled up spathes, A provision to servants; and We give life therewith to a dead land. Thus is the resurrection.
The people of Noah denied before them, and the fellows of ar Rass and Thamud, and 'Ad and Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot, and the fellows of the Grove and the people of Tubba all denied the messengers, so the threat was duly executed.
Were We then fatigued with the first creation? Nay! They are in doubt about a new creation.
And certainly We created man, and We know what his soul whispers to him, and We are nearer to him than the jugular vein!
When the two meeters meet, sitting on the right and on the left, not a word does he utter, but a watcher is by him ready!
And the agony of death shall come in truth! - 'that is what you were shunning!'
And the trumpet shall be blown! - that is the threatened day! And every soul shall come - with it a driver and a witness!
'Certainly you were in heedlessness of this, and We have removed from you your covering, so your sight today is sharp.'
And his companion shall say, 'This is what is ready with me.'
'Throw into Hell every stubborn disbeliever! - forbidder of good, transgressor, doubter! Who set up with God another god; so throw him, you two, into the severe punishment!'
His companion shall say, 'Our Lord! I did not make him transgress, but he was in far error.'
He shall say, 'Do not dispute before Me, and indeed, I sent the threat to you before. The sentence is not changed with Me, and I am not unjust to the servants.'
On the day We will say to Hell, 'Are you full?' And it will say, 'Are there any more?'
And Paradise shall be brought near to the pious, - not far. This is what you are promised, to every one who turns, who keeps: Who fears the Merciful in secret and comes with a repentant heart. 'Enter it in peace: that is a day of eternity!' They shall have what they wish therein, and with Us is more.
How many a generation have We destroyed before them, mightier than they in prowess! So they explored throughout the lands. Is there any place of escape? Indeed, in that surely is a reminder for whoever has a heart, or gives ear, and is a witness.
And certainly, We created the heavens and the earth and what is between the two in six days, and no weariness touched Us.
So be patient of what they say, and celebrate the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting. And of the night glorify Him and after the prostration.
And listen on the day when the caller shall call from a near place; - the day they shall hear the shout in truth - that is the day of coming forth!
Indeed, We give life and cause death, and to Us is the journey!
On the day when the earth shall be split asunder from them swiftly; - that is a gathering together easy for Us!
We know very well what they say; and you are not over them one to compel. Therefore remind, by the Quran, him who fears the threat.
