Chapter 51, 60 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والذاريات ذروا
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By (the winds) that scatter dust.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالذَّارِيَاتِ ذَرْوًا
فالحاملات وقرا
And (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water.
فَالْحَامِلَاتِ وِقْرًا
فالجاريات يسرا
And (the ships) that float with ease and gentleness.
فَالْجَارِيَاتِ يُسْرًا
فالمقسمات أمرا
And those (angels) who distribute (provisions, rain, and other blessings) by (Allah's) Command.
فَالْمُقَسِّمَاتِ أَمْرًا
إنما توعدون لصادق
Verily, that which you are promised (i.e. Resurrection in the Hereafter and receiving the reward or punishment of good or bad deeds) is surely true.
إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌ
وإن الدين لواقع
And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen.
وَإِنَّ الدِّينَ لَوَاقِعٌ
والسماء ذات الحبك
By the heaven full of paths,
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْحُبُكِ
إنكم لفي قول مختلف
Certainly, you have different ideas (about Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Qur'an).
إِنَّكُمْ لَفِي قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ
يؤفك عنه من أفك
Turned aside therefrom (i.e. from Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Qur'an) is he who is turned aside (by the Decree and Preordainment القضاء والقدر of Allah).
يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ
قتل الخراصون
Cursed be the liars
قُتِلَ الْخَرَّاصُونَ
الذين هم في غمرة ساهون
Who are under a cover of heedlessness (think not about the gravity of the Hereafter),
الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ
يسألون أيان يوم الدين
They ask: "When will be the Day of Recompense?"
يَسْأَلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
يوم هم على النار يفتنون
(It will be) a Day when they will be tried (punished i.e. burnt) over the Fire!
يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ
ذوقوا فتنتكم هذا الذي كنتم به تستعجلون
"Taste you your trial (punishment i.e. burning)! This is what you used to ask to be hastened!"
ذُوقُوا فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
إن المتقين في جنات وعيون
Verily, the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2) will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs (in the Paradise),
إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
آخذين ما آتاهم ربهم ۚ إنهم كانوا قبل ذلك محسنين
Taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinun (good-doers. See V.2:112).
آخِذِينَ مَا آتَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ
كانوا قليلا من الليل ما يهجعون
They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allah) and praying, with fear and hope].
كَانُوا قَلِيلًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ
وبالأسحار هم يستغفرون
And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness.
وَبِالْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ
وفي أموالهم حق للسائل والمحروم
And in their properties there was the right of the Sa'il (the beggar who asks) and the Mahrum (the poor who does not ask others) .
وَفِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ
وفي الأرض آيات للموقنين
And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty.
وَفِي الْأَرْضِ آيَاتٌ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ
وفي أنفسكم ۚ أفلا تبصرون
And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see?
وَفِي أَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ
وفي السماء رزقكم وما توعدون
And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised.
وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ
فورب السماء والأرض إنه لحق مثل ما أنكم تنطقون
Then by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is the truth (i.e. what has been promised to you), just as it is the truth that you can speak.
فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ
هل أتاك حديث ضيف إبراهيم المكرمين
Has the story reached you, of the honoured guests [three angels; Jibril (Gabriel) along with another two] of Ibrahim (Abraham)?
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ
إذ دخلوا عليه فقالوا سلاما ۖ قال سلام قوم منكرون
When they came in to him and said: "Salam, (peace be upon you)!" He answered: "Salam, (peace be upon you)," and said: "You are a people unknown to me."
إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا سَلَامًا ۖ قَالَ سَلَامٌ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ
فراغ إلى أهله فجاء بعجل سمين
Then he turned to his household, and brought out a roasted calf [as the property of Ibrahim (Abraham) was mainly cows].
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ فَجَاءَ بِعِجْلٍ سَمِينٍ
فقربه إليهم قال ألا تأكلون
And placed it before them, (saying): "Will you not eat?"
فَقَرَّبَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ
فأوجس منهم خيفة ۖ قالوا لا تخف ۖ وبشروه بغلام عليم
Then he conceived fear of them (when they ate not). They said: "Fear not." And they gave him glad tidings of a son having knowledge (about Allah and His religion of True Monotheism).
فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوا لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَامٍ عَلِيمٍ
فأقبلت امرأته في صرة فصكت وجهها وقالت عجوز عقيم
Then his wife came forward with a loud voice: she smote her face, and said: "A barren old woman!"
فَأَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ فِي صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ
قالوا كذلك قال ربك ۖ إنه هو الحكيم العليم
They said: "Even so says your Lord. Verily, He is the All-Wise, the All-Knower."
قَالُوا كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ
۞ قال فما خطبكم أيها المرسلون
[Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Then for what purpose you have come, O Messengers?"
۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ
قالوا إنا أرسلنا إلى قوم مجرمين
They said: "We have been sent to a people who are Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, disbelievers in Allah)
قَالُوا إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ
لنرسل عليهم حجارة من طين
To send down upon them stones of baked clay.
لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن طِينٍ
مسومة عند ربك للمسرفين
Marked by your Lord for the Musrifun (polytheists, criminals, sinners - those who trespass Allah's set limits in evil-doings by committing great sins).
مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ
فأخرجنا من كان فيها من المؤمنين
So We brought out from therein the believers.
فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
فما وجدنا فيها غير بيت من المسلمين
But We found not there any household of the Muslims except one [of Lut (Lot) and his two daughters].
فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
وتركنا فيها آية للذين يخافون العذاب الأليم
And We have left there a sign (i.e. the place of the Dead Sea in Palestine) for those who fear the painful torment.
وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَا آيَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ
وفي موسى إذ أرسلناه إلى فرعون بسلطان مبين
And in Musa (Moses) (too, there is a sign), when We sent him to Fir'aun (Pharaoh) with a manifest authority.
وَفِي مُوسَىٰ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
فتولى بركنه وقال ساحر أو مجنون
But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] turned away (from Belief in might) along with his hosts, and said: "A sorcerer, or a madman."
فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِ وَقَالَ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ
فأخذناه وجنوده فنبذناهم في اليم وهو مليم
So We took him and his hosts, and dumped them into the sea, for he was blameworthy.
فَأَخَذْنَاهُ وَجُنُودَهُ فَنَبَذْنَاهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ
وفي عاد إذ أرسلنا عليهم الريح العقيم
And in 'Ad (there is also a sign) when We sent against them the barren wind;
وَفِي عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّيحَ الْعَقِيمَ
ما تذر من شيء أتت عليه إلا جعلته كالرميم
It spared nothing that it reached, but blew it into broken spreads of rotten ruins.
مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَيْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيمِ
وفي ثمود إذ قيل لهم تمتعوا حتى حين
And in Thamud (there is also a sign), when they were told: "Enjoy yourselves for a while!"
وَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
فعتوا عن أمر ربهم فأخذتهم الصاعقة وهم ينظرون
But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord, so the Sa'iqah overtook them while they were looking.
فَعَتَوْا عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
فما استطاعوا من قيام وما كانوا منتصرين
Then they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.
فَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا مِن قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنتَصِرِينَ
وقوم نوح من قبل ۖ إنهم كانوا قوما فاسقين
(So were) the people of Nuh (Noah) before them. Verily, they were a people who were Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ
والسماء بنيناها بأيد وإنا لموسعون
With power did We construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend the vastness of space thereof.
وَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ
والأرض فرشناها فنعم الماهدون
And We have spread out the earth: how Excellent Spreader (thereof) are We!
وَالْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَاهَا فَنِعْمَ الْمَاهِدُونَ
ومن كل شيء خلقنا زوجين لعلكم تذكرون
And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember (the Grace of Allah).
وَمِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
ففروا إلى الله ۖ إني لكم منه نذير مبين
So flee to Allah (from His Torment to His Mercy - Islamic Monotheism). Verily, I (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) am a plain warner to you from Him.
فَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
ولا تجعلوا مع الله إلها آخر ۖ إني لكم منه نذير مبين
And set not up (or worship not) any other ilah (god) along with Allah [Glorified be He (Alone), Exalted above all that they associate as partners with Him]. Verily, I (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) am a plain warner to you from Him.
وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
كذلك ما أتى الذين من قبلهم من رسول إلا قالوا ساحر أو مجنون
Likewise, no Messenger came to those before them but they said: "A sorcerer or a madman!"
كَذَٰلِكَ مَا أَتَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ
أتواصوا به ۚ بل هم قوم طاغون
Have they (the people of the past) transmitted this saying to these (Quraish pagans)? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds (in disbelief)!
أَتَوَاصَوْا بِهِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ
فتول عنهم فما أنت بملوم
So turn away (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from them (Quraish pagans), you are not blame-worthy (as you have conveyed Allah's Message).
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَا أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ
وذكر فإن الذكرى تنفع المؤمنين
And remind (by preaching the Qur'an, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), for verily, the reminding profits the believers.
وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
وما خلقت الجن والإنس إلا ليعبدون
And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
ما أريد منهم من رزق وما أريد أن يطعمون
I seek not any provision from them (i.e. provision for themselves or for My creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me (i.e. feed themselves or My creatures).
مَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ
إن الله هو الرزاق ذو القوة المتين
Verily, Allah is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ
فإن للذين ظلموا ذنوبا مثل ذنوب أصحابهم فلا يستعجلون
And verily, for those who do wrong, there is a portion of torment like to the evil portion of torment (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on!
فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ
فويل للذين كفروا من يومهم الذي يوعدون
Then woe to those who disbelieve (in Allah and His Oneness - Islamic Monotheism) from their Day which they have been promised (for their punishment).
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن يَوْمِهِمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ
