[50:4] We are fully aware of any one of them who gets consumed by the earth; we have an accurate record.
[50:5] They rejected the truth when it came to them; they are utterly confused.
[50:6] Have they not looked at the sky above them, and how we constructed it and adorned it, without a flaw?
[50:7] And we created the earth, and scattered on it mountains, and grew in it all kinds of beautiful plants.

[50:9] And we sent from the sky blessed water, to grow with it gardens and grains to be harvested.
[50:10] Tall date palms, with clustered fruit.

[50:12] Disbelieving before them were the people of Noah, the dwellers of Russ, and Thamûd.
[50:13] And 'Ãd, Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot.
[50:14] And the dwellers of the woods, and the people of Tubba'. All of them disbelieved the messengers and, consequently, My retribution befell them.
[50:15] Were we too burdened by the first creation? Is this why they doubt resurrection?

[50:21] Every soul comes with a herder and a witness.
[50:22] You used to be oblivious to this. We now remove your veil; today, your vision is (as strong as) steel.
[50:23] The companion said, "Here is my formidable testimony."*
*50:23-28 Your life-time companion witnesses everything you do. See Appendix 7.
[50:24] Throw into Gehenna every stubborn disbeliever.
[50:25] Forbidder of charity, aggressor, full of doubt.
[50:26] He set up besides GOD another god. Throw him into severe retribution.
[50:27] His companion said, "Our Lord, I did not mislead him; he was far astray."
[50:28] He said, "Do not feud in front of Me; I have sufficiently warned you.

[50:35] They get anything they wish therein, and we have even more.
[50:36] Many a generation before them, who were more powerful, we annihilated. They searched the land; did they find an escape?
[50:37] This should be a lesson for everyone who possesses a mind, or is able to hear and witness.
[50:38] We have created the heavens and the earth, and everything between them in six days, and no fatigue touched us.
[50:39] Therefore, be patient in the face of their utterances, and praise and glorify your Lord before sunrise, and before sunset.
[50:40] During the night you shall meditate on His name, and after prostrating.
