- Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'an (Thou art Allah's Apostle).
- But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves. So the Unbelievers say: "This is a wonderful thing!
- "What! when we die and become dust (shall we live again?). That is a (sort of) Return far (from our understanding)."
- We already know how much of them the earth takes away: with Us is a Record guarding (the full account).
- But they deny the truth when it comes to them: So they are in a confused state.
- Do they not look at the sky above them? How We have made it and adorned it and there are no flaws in it?
