Chapter 51, 60 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By (the winds) that scatter dust.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والذاريات ذروا
وَٱلذَّٰرِيَٰتِ ذَرْوًا
And (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water.
فالحاملات وقرا
فَٱلْحَٰمِلَٰتِ وِقْرًا
And (the ships) that float with ease and gentleness.
فالجاريات يسرا
فَٱلْجَٰرِيَٰتِ يُسْرًا
And those (angels) who distribute (provisions, rain, and other blessings) by (Allah's) Command.
فالمقسمات أمرا
فَٱلْمُقَسِّمَٰتِ أَمْرًا
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.
إنما توعدون لصادق
إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌ
And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen.
وإن الدين لواقع
وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٌ
By the heaven full of paths,
والسماء ذات الحبك
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْحُبُكِ
Certainly, you have different ideas (about Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Qur'an).
إنكم لفي قول مختلف
إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ
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).
يؤفك عنه من أفك
يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ
Cursed be the liars
قتل الخراصون
قُتِلَ ٱلْخَرَّٰصُونَ
Who are under a cover of heedlessness (think not about the gravity of the Hereafter),
الذين هم في غمرة ساهون
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ
They ask: "When will be the Day of Recompense?"
يسألون أيان يوم الدين
يَسْـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
(It will be) a Day when they will be tried (punished i.e. burnt) over the Fire!
يوم هم على النار يفتنون
يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ
"Taste you your trial (punishment i.e. burning)! This is what you used to ask to be hastened!"
ذوقوا فتنتكم هذا الذي كنتم به تستعجلون
ذُوقُوا۟ فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Verily, the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2) will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs (in the Paradise),
إن المتقين في جنات وعيون
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
Taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinun (good-doers. See V.2:112).
آخذين ما آتاهم ربهم ۚ إنهم كانوا قبل ذلك محسنين
ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ
They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allah) and praying, with fear and hope].
كانوا قليلا من الليل ما يهجعون
كَانُوا۟ قَلِيلًا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ
And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness.
وبالأسحار هم يستغفرون
وَبِٱلْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ
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) .
وفي أموالهم حق للسائل والمحروم
وَفِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ
And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty.
وفي الأرض آيات للموقنين
وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ءَايَٰتٌ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ
And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see?
وفي أنفسكم ۚ أفلا تبصرون
وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ
And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised.
وفي السماء رزقكم وما توعدون
وَفِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ
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.
فورب السماء والأرض إنه لحق مثل ما أنكم تنطقون
فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ
Has the story reached you, of the honoured guests [three angels; Jibril (Gabriel) along with another two] of Ibrahim (Abraham)?
هل أتاك حديث ضيف إبراهيم المكرمين
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْمُكْرَمِينَ
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."
إذ دخلوا عليه فقالوا سلاما ۖ قال سلام قوم منكرون
إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَٰمًا قَالَ سَلَٰمٌ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ
Then he turned to his household, and brought out a roasted calf [as the property of Ibrahim (Abraham) was mainly cows].
فراغ إلى أهله فجاء بعجل سمين
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ سَمِينٍ
And placed it before them, (saying): "Will you not eat?"
فقربه إليهم قال ألا تأكلون
فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ
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).
فأوجس منهم خيفة ۖ قالوا لا تخف ۖ وبشروه بغلام عليم
فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٍ
Then his wife came forward with a loud voice: she smote her face, and said: "A barren old woman!"
فأقبلت امرأته في صرة فصكت وجهها وقالت عجوز عقيم
فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ
They said: "Even so says your Lord. Verily, He is the All-Wise, the All-Knower."
قالوا كذلك قال ربك ۖ إنه هو الحكيم العليم
قَالُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
[Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Then for what purpose you have come, O Messengers?"
۞ قال فما خطبكم أيها المرسلون
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ
They said: "We have been sent to a people who are Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, disbelievers in Allah)
قالوا إنا أرسلنا إلى قوم مجرمين
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ
To send down upon them stones of baked clay.
لنرسل عليهم حجارة من طين
لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن طِينٍ
Marked by your Lord for the Musrifun (polytheists, criminals, sinners - those who trespass Allah's set limits in evil-doings by committing great sins).
مسومة عند ربك للمسرفين
مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ
So We brought out from therein the believers.
فأخرجنا من كان فيها من المؤمنين
فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
But We found not there any household of the Muslims except one [of Lut (Lot) and his two daughters].
فما وجدنا فيها غير بيت من المسلمين
فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ
And We have left there a sign (i.e. the place of the Dead Sea in Palestine) for those who fear the painful torment.
وتركنا فيها آية للذين يخافون العذاب الأليم
وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ
And in Musa (Moses) (too, there is a sign), when We sent him to Fir'aun (Pharaoh) with a manifest authority.
وفي موسى إذ أرسلناه إلى فرعون بسلطان مبين
وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ
But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] turned away (from Belief in might) along with his hosts, and said: "A sorcerer, or a madman."
فتولى بركنه وقال ساحر أو مجنون
فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ
So We took him and his hosts, and dumped them into the sea, for he was blameworthy.
فأخذناه وجنوده فنبذناهم في اليم وهو مليم
فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ
And in 'Ad (there is also a sign) when We sent against them the barren wind;
وفي عاد إذ أرسلنا عليهم الريح العقيم
وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ
It spared nothing that it reached, but blew it into broken spreads of rotten ruins.
ما تذر من شيء أتت عليه إلا جعلته كالرميم
مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ
And in Thamud (there is also a sign), when they were told: "Enjoy yourselves for a while!"
وفي ثمود إذ قيل لهم تمتعوا حتى حين
وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord, so the Sa'iqah overtook them while they were looking.
فعتوا عن أمر ربهم فأخذتهم الصاعقة وهم ينظرون
فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
Then they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.
فما استطاعوا من قيام وما كانوا منتصرين
فَمَا ٱسْتَطَٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ
(So were) the people of Nuh (Noah) before them. Verily, they were a people who were Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
وقوم نوح من قبل ۖ إنهم كانوا قوما فاسقين
وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَٰسِقِينَ
With power did We construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend the vastness of space thereof.
والسماء بنيناها بأيد وإنا لموسعون
وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ
And We have spread out the earth: how Excellent Spreader (thereof) are We!
والأرض فرشناها فنعم الماهدون
وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَٰهِدُونَ
And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember (the Grace of Allah).
ومن كل شيء خلقنا زوجين لعلكم تذكرون
وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
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.
ففروا إلى الله ۖ إني لكم منه نذير مبين
فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
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.
ولا تجعلوا مع الله إلها آخر ۖ إني لكم منه نذير مبين
وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
Likewise, no Messenger came to those before them but they said: "A sorcerer or a madman!"
كذلك ما أتى الذين من قبلهم من رسول إلا قالوا ساحر أو مجنون
كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ
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)!
أتواصوا به ۚ بل هم قوم طاغون
أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ
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).
فتول عنهم فما أنت بملوم
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ
And remind (by preaching the Qur'an, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), for verily, the reminding profits the believers.
وذكر فإن الذكرى تنفع المؤمنين
وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).
وما خلقت الجن والإنس إلا ليعبدون
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
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).
ما أريد منهم من رزق وما أريد أن يطعمون
مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ
Verily, Allah is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong.
إن الله هو الرزاق ذو القوة المتين
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ
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!
فإن للذين ظلموا ذنوبا مثل ذنوب أصحابهم فلا يستعجلون
فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ
Then woe to those who disbelieve (in Allah and His Oneness - Islamic Monotheism) from their Day which they have been promised (for their punishment).
فويل للذين كفروا من يومهم الذي يوعدون
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ
