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.
وَٱلذَّٰرِيَٰتِ ذَرْوًا
فالحاملات وقرا
And (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water.
فَٱلْحَٰمِلَٰتِ وِقْرًا
فالجاريات يسرا
And (the ships) that float with ease and gentleness.
فَٱلْجَٰرِيَٰتِ يُسْرًا
فالمقسمات أمرا
And those (angels) who distribute (provisions, rain, and other blessings) by (Allah's) Command.
فَٱلْمُقَسِّمَٰتِ 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 ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٌ
والسماء ذات الحبك
By the heaven full of paths,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْحُبُكِ
إنكم لفي قول مختلف
Certainly, you have different ideas (about Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Qur'an).
إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى 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 ٱلْخَرَّٰصُونَ
الذين هم في غمرة ساهون
Who are under a cover of heedlessness (think not about the gravity of the Hereafter),
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ
يسألون أيان يوم الدين
They ask: "When will be the Day of Recompense?"
يَسْـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
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 ٱلنَّارِ 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!"
ذُوقُوا۟ فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ 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 ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ 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).
ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ 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].
كَانُوا۟ قَلِيلًا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ
وبالأسحار هم يستغفرون
And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness.
وَبِٱلْأَسْحَارِ 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) .
وَفِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ
وفي الأرض آيات للموقنين
And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty.
وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ءَايَٰتٌ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ
وفي أنفسكم ۚ أفلا تبصرون
And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see?
وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ
وفي السماء رزقكم وما توعدون
And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised.
وَفِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ 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 ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَآ 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 أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْمُكْرَمِينَ
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 دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَٰمًا قَالَ سَلَٰمٌ 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 إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ سَمِينٍ
فقربه إليهم قال ألا تأكلون
And placed it before them, (saying): "Will you not eat?"
فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ 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 قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ 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 ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى 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."
قَالُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
۞ قال فما خطبكم أيها المرسلون
[Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Then for what purpose you have come, O Messengers?"
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ
قالوا إنا أرسلنا إلى قوم مجرمين
They said: "We have been sent to a people who are Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, disbelievers in Allah)
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ 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 ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
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 ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ
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 فِيهَآ ءَايَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ
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.
وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَٰنٍ 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 بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَٰحِرٌ 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.
فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ 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;
وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ
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 شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ
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!"
وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ 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.
فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
فما استطاعوا من قيام وما كانوا منتصرين
Then they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.
فَمَا ٱسْتَطَٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ 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 كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَٰسِقِينَ
والسماء بنيناها بأيد وإنا لموسعون
With power did We construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend the vastness of space thereof.
وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ
والأرض فرشناها فنعم الماهدون
And We have spread out the earth: how Excellent Spreader (thereof) are We!
وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَٰهِدُونَ
ومن كل شيء خلقنا زوجين لعلكم تذكرون
And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember (the Grace of Allah).
وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ 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.
فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ إِنِّى 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 تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ إِنِّى 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 مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ 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)!
أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ 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 فَمَآ 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 ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
وما خلقت الجن والإنس إلا ليعبدون
And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ 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).
مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ
إن الله هو الرزاق ذو القوة المتين
Verily, Allah is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ
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 ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَٰبِهِمْ 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 كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ
