Al Zariyat

Shakir

1 I swear by the wind that scatters far and wide,

Shakir

2 Then those clouds bearing the load (of minute things in space).

Shakir

3 Then those (ships) that glide easily,

Shakir

4 Then those (angels who) distribute blessings by Our command;

Shakir

5 What you are threatened with is most surely true,

Shakir

6 And the judgment must most surely come about.

Shakir

7 I swear by the heaven full of ways.

Shakir

8 Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say,

Shakir

9 He is turned away from it who would be turned away.

Shakir

10 Cursed be the liars,

Shakir

11 Who are in a gulf (of ignorance) neglectful;

Shakir

12 They ask: When is the day of judgment?

Shakir

13 (It is) the day on which they shall be tried at the fire.

Shakir

14 Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on.

Shakir

15 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and fountains.

Shakir

16 Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good.

Shakir

17 They used to sleep but little in the night.

Shakir

18 And in the morning they asked forgiveness.

Shakir

19 And in their property was a portion due to him who begs and to him who is denied (good).

Shakir

20 And in the earth there are signs for those who are sure,

Shakir

21 And in your own souls (too); will you not then see?

Shakir

22 And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you are threatened with.

Shakir

23 And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth! it is most surely the truth, just as you do speak.

Shakir

24 Has there come to you information about the honored guests of Ibrahim?

Shakir

25 When they entered upon him, they said: Peace. Peace, said he, a strange people.

Shakir

26 Then he turned aside to his family secretly and brought a fat (roasted) calf,

Shakir

27 So he brought it near them. He said: What! will you not eat?

Shakir

28 So he conceived in his mind a fear on account of them. They said: Fear not. And they gave him the good news of a boy possessing knowledge.

Shakir

29 Then his wife came up in great grief, and she struck her face and said: An old barren woman!

Shakir

30 They said: Thus says your Lord: Surely He is the Wise, the Knowing.

Shakir

31 He said: What is your affair then, O apostles!

Shakir

32 They said: Surely we are sent to a guilty people,

Shakir

33 That we may send down upon them stone of clay,

Shakir

34 Sent forth from your Lord for the extravagant.

Shakir

35 Then We brought forth such as were therein of the believers.

Shakir

36 But We did not find therein save a (single) house of those who submitted (the Muslims).

Shakir

37 And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

Shakir

38 And in Musa: When We sent him to Firon with clear authority.

Shakir

39 But he turned away with his forces and said: A magician or a mad man.

Shakir

40 So We seized him and his hosts and hurled them into the sea and he was blamable.

Shakir

41 And in Ad: When We sent upon them the destructive wind.

Shakir

42 It did not leave aught on which it blew, but it made it like ashes.

Shakir

43 And in Samood: When it was said to them: Enjoy yourselves for a while.

Shakir

44 But they revolted against the commandment of their Lord, so the rumbling overtook them while they saw.

Shakir

45 So they were not able to rise up, nor could they defend themselves -

Shakir

46 And the people of Nuh before, surely they were a transgressing people.

Shakir

47 And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and most surely We are the makers of things ample.

Shakir

48 And the earth, We have made it a wide extent; how well have We then spread (it) out.

Shakir

49 And of everything We have created pairs that you may be mindful.

Shakir

50 Therefore fly to Allah, surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.

Shakir

51 And do not set up with Allah another god: surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.

Shakir

52 Thus there did not come to those before them an apostle but they said: A magician or a mad man.

Shakir

53 Have they charged each other with this? Nay! they are an inordinate people.

Shakir

54 Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame;

Shakir

55 And continue to remind, for surely the reminder profits the believers.

Shakir

56 And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should serve Me.

Shakir

57 I do not desire from them any sustenance and I do not desire that they should feed Me.

Shakir

58 Surely Allah is the Bestower of sustenance, the Lord of Power, the Strong.

Shakir

59 So surely those who are unjust shall have a portion like the portion of their companions, therefore let them not ask Me to hasten on.

Shakir

60 Therefore woe to those who disbelieve because of their day which they are threatened with.
