Al Zariyat

1 Waalththariyati tharwan

1 By the (Winds) that scatter broadcast;

2 Faalhamilati wiqran

2 And those that lift and bear away heavy weights;

3 Faaljariyati yusran

3 And those that flow with ease and gentleness;

4 Faalmuqassimati amran

4 And those that distribute and apportion by Command; -

5 Innama tooAAadoona lasadiqun

5 Verily that which ye are promised is true;

6 Wainna alddeena lawaqiAAun

6 And verily Judgment and Justice must indeed come to pass.

7 Waalssamai thati alhubuki

7 By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths,

8 Innakum lafee qawlin mukhtalifin

8 Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant,

9 Yufaku AAanhu man ofika

9 Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded.

10 Qutila alkharrasoona

10 Woe to the falsehood - mongers, -

11 Allatheena hum fee ghamratin sahoona

11 Those who (flounder) heedless in a flood of confusion:

12 Yasaloona ayyana yawmu alddeeni

12 They ask, "When will be the Day of Judgment and Justice?"

13 Yawma hum AAala alnnari yuftanoona

13 (It will be) a Day when they will be tried (and tested) over the Fire!

14 Thooqoo fitnatakum hatha allathee kuntum bihi tastaAAjiloona

14 "Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!"

15 Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin waAAuyoonin

15 As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs,

16 Akhitheena ma atahum rabbuhum innahum kanoo qabla thalika muhsineena

16 Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life.

17 Kanoo qaleelan mina allayli ma yahjaAAoona

17 They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night,

18 Wabialashari hum yastaghfiroona

18 And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness;

19 Wafee amwalihim haqqun lilssaili waalmahroomi

19 And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking).

20 Wafee alardi ayatun lilmooqineena

20 On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith,

21 Wafee anfusikum afala tubsiroona

21 As also in your own selves: Will ye not then see?

22 Wafee alssamai rizqukum wama tooAAadoona

22 And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised.

23 Fawarabbi alssamai waalardi innahu lahaqqun mithla ma annakum tantiqoona

23 Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other.

24 Hal ataka hadeethu dayfi ibraheema almukrameena

24 Has the story reached thee, of the honoured guests of Abraham?

25 Ith dakhaloo AAalayhi faqaloo salaman qala salamun qawmun munkaroona

25 Behold, they entered his presence, and said: "Peace!" He said, "Peace!" (and thought, "These seem) unusual people."

26 Faragha ila ahlihi fajaa biAAijlin sameenin

26 Then he turned quickly to his household, brought out a fatted calf,

27 Faqarrabahu ilayhim qala ala takuloona

27 And placed it before them.. he said, "Will ye not eat?"

28 Faawjasa minhum kheefatan qaloo la takhaf wabashsharoohu bighulamin AAaleemin

28 (When they did not eat), He conceived a fear of them. They said, "Fear not," and they gave him glad tidings of a son endowed with knowledge.

29 Faaqbalati imraatuhu fee sarratin fasakkat wajhaha waqalat AAajoozun AAaqeemun

29 But his wife came forward (laughing) aloud: she smote her forehead and said: "A barren old woman!"

30 Qaloo kathaliki qala rabbuki innahu huwa alhakeemu alAAaleemu

30 They said, "Even so has thy Lord spoken: and He is full of Wisdom and Knowledge."

31 Qala fama khatbukum ayyuha almursaloona

31 (Abraham) said: "And what, O ye Messengers, is your errand (now)?"

32 Qaloo inna orsilna ila qawmin mujrimeena

32 They said, "We have been sent to a people (deep) in sin; -

33 Linursila AAalayhim hijaratan min teenin

33 "To bring on, on them, (a shower of) stones of clay (brimstone),

34 Musawwamatan AAinda rabbika lilmusrifeena

34 "Marked as from thy Lord for those who trespass beyond bounds."

35 Faakhrajna man kana feeha mina almumineena

35 Then We evacuated those of the Believers who were there,

36 Fama wajadna feeha ghayra baytin mina almuslimeena

36 But We found not there any just (Muslim) persons except in one house:

37 Watarakna feeha ayatan lillatheena yakhafoona alAAathaba alaleema

37 And We left there a Sign for such as fear the Grievous Penalty.

38 Wafee moosa ith arsalnahu ila firAAawna bisultanin mubeenin

38 And in Moses (was another Sign): Behold, We sent him to Pharaoh, with authority manifest.

39 Fatawalla biruknihi waqala sahirun aw majnoonun

39 But (Pharaoh) turned back with his Chiefs, and said, "A sorcerer, or one possessed!"

40 Faakhathnahu wajunoodahu fanabathnahum fee alyammi wahuwa muleemun

40 So We took him and his forces, and threw them into the sea; and his was the blame.

41 Wafee AAadin ith arsalna AAalayhimu alrreeha alAAaqeema

41 And in the 'Ad (people) (was another Sign): Behold, We sent against them the devastating Wind:

42 Ma tatharu min shayin atat AAalayhi illa jaAAalathu kaalrrameemi

42 It left nothing whatever that it came up against, but reduced it to ruin and rottenness.

43 Wafee thamooda ith qeela lahum tamattaAAoo hatta heenin

43 And in the Thamud (was another Sign): Behold, they were told, "Enjoy (your brief day) for a little while!"

44 FaAAataw AAan amri rabbihim faakhathathumu alssaAAiqatu wahum yanthuroona

44 But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord: So the stunning noise (of an earthquake) seized them, even while they were looking on.

45 Fama istataAAoo min qiyamin wama kanoo muntasireena

45 Then they could not even stand (on their feet), nor could they help themselves.

46 Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo qawman fasiqeena

46 So were the People of Noah before them for they wickedly transgressed.

47 Waalssamaa banaynaha biaydin wainna lamoosiAAoona

47 With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace.

48 Waalarda farashnaha faniAAma almahidoona

48 And We have spread out the (spacious) earth: How excellently We do spread out!

49 Wamin kulli shayin khalaqna zawjayni laAAallakum tathakkaroona

49 And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction.

50 Fafirroo ila Allahi innee lakum minhu natheerun mubeenun

50 Hasten ye then (at once) to Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!

51 Wala tajAAaloo maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara innee lakum minhu natheerun mubeenun

51 And make not another an object of worship with Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!

52 Kathalika ma ata allatheena min qablihim min rasoolin illa qaloo sahirun aw majnoonun

52 Similarly, no messenger came to the Peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, "A sorcerer, or one possessed"!

53 Atawasaw bihi bal hum qawmun taghoona

53 Is this the legacy they have transmitted, one to another? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds!

54 Fatawalla AAanhum fama anta bimaloomin

54 So turn away from them: not thine is the blame.

55 Wathakkir fainna alththikra tanfaAAu almumineena

55 But teach (thy Message) for teaching benefits the Believers.

56 Wama khalaqtu aljinna waalinsa illa liyaAAbudooni

56 I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me.

57 Ma oreedu minhum min rizqin wama oreedu an yutAAimooni

57 No Sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they should feed Me.

58 Inna Allaha huwa alrrazzaqu thoo alquwwati almateenu

58 For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance, - Lord of Power, - Steadfast (for ever).

59 Fainna lillatheena thalamoo thanooban mithla thanoobi ashabihim fala yastaAAjiloona

59 For the Wrong - doers, their portion is like unto the portion of their fellows (of earlier generations): then let them not ask Me to hasten (that portion)!

60 Fawaylun lillatheena kafaroo min yawmihimu allathee yooAAadoona

60 Woe, then, to the Unbelievers, on account of that Day of theirs which they have been promised!
