আয্ যারিয়াত (উড়ন্ত ধূলিকণা)

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By (the winds) that scatter dust.

1 By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing

2 And (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water.

2 And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water]

3 And (the ships) that float with ease and gentleness.

3 And those [ships] sailing with ease

4 And those (angels) who distribute (provisions, rain, and other blessings) by (Allah's) Command.

4 And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter,

5 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.

5 Indeed, what you are promised is true.

6 And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen.

6 And indeed, the recompense is to occur.

7 By the heaven full of paths,

7 By the heaven containing pathways,

8 Certainly, you have different ideas (about Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Qur'an).

8 Indeed, you are in differing speech.

9 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).

9 Deluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded.

10 Cursed be the liars

10 Destroyed are the falsifiers

11 Who are under a cover of heedlessness (think not about the gravity of the Hereafter),

11 Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.

12 They ask: "When will be the Day of Recompense?"

12 They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"

13 (It will be) a Day when they will be tried (punished i.e. burnt) over the Fire!

13 [It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire

14 "Taste you your trial (punishment i.e. burning)! This is what you used to ask to be hastened!"

14 [And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient."

15 Verily, the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2) will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs (in the Paradise),

15 Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,

16 Taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinun (good-doers. See V.2:112).

16 Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.

17 They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allah) and praying, with fear and hope].

17 They used to sleep but little of the night,

18 And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness.

18 And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,

19 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) .

19 And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.

20 And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty.

20 And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]

21 And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see?

21 And in yourselves. Then will you not see?

22 And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised.

22 And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.

23 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.

23 Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.

24 Has the story reached you, of the honoured guests [three angels; Jibril (Gabriel) along with another two] of Ibrahim (Abraham)?

24 Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham? -

25 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."

25 When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown.

26 Then he turned to his household, and brought out a roasted calf [as the property of Ibrahim (Abraham) was mainly cows].

26 Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf

27 And placed it before them, (saying): "Will you not eat?"

27 And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"

28 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).

28 And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

29 Then his wife came forward with a loud voice: she smote her face, and said: "A barren old woman!"

29 And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"

30 They said: "Even so says your Lord. Verily, He is the All-Wise, the All-Knower."

30 They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."

31 [Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Then for what purpose you have come, O Messengers?"

31 [Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

32 They said: "We have been sent to a people who are Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, disbelievers in Allah)

32 They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

33 To send down upon them stones of baked clay.

33 To send down upon them stones of clay,

34 Marked by your Lord for the Musrifun (polytheists, criminals, sinners - those who trespass Allah's set limits in evil-doings by committing great sins).

34 Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

35 So We brought out from therein the believers.

35 So We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers.

36 But We found not there any household of the Muslims except one [of Lut (Lot) and his two daughters].

36 And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

37 And We have left there a sign (i.e. the place of the Dead Sea in Palestine) for those who fear the painful torment.

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

38 And in Musa (Moses) (too, there is a sign), when We sent him to Fir'aun (Pharaoh) with a manifest authority.

38 And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.

39 But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] turned away (from Belief in might) along with his hosts, and said: "A sorcerer, or a madman."

39 But he turned away with his supporters and said," A magician or a madman."

40 So We took him and his hosts, and dumped them into the sea, for he was blameworthy.

40 So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.

41 And in 'Ad (there is also a sign) when We sent against them the barren wind;

41 And in 'Aad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.

42 It spared nothing that it reached, but blew it into broken spreads of rotten ruins.

42 It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.

43 And in Thamud (there is also a sign), when they were told: "Enjoy yourselves for a while!"

43 And in Thamud, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."

44 But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord, so the Sa'iqah overtook them while they were looking.

44 But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.

45 Then they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.

45 And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.

46 (So were) the people of Nuh (Noah) before them. Verily, they were a people who were Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).

46 And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.

47 With power did We construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend the vastness of space thereof.

47 And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

48 And We have spread out the earth: how Excellent Spreader (thereof) are We!

48 And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.

49 And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember (the Grace of Allah).

49 And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember.

50 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.

50 So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

51 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.

51 And do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

52 Likewise, no Messenger came to those before them but they said: "A sorcerer or a madman!"

52 Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."

53 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)!

53 Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.

54 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).

54 So leave them, [O Muhammad], for you are not to be blamed.

55 And remind (by preaching the Qur'an, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), for verily, the reminding profits the believers.

55 And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.

56 And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).

56 And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

57 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).

57 I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.

58 Verily, Allah is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong.

58 Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.

59 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!

59 And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their predecessors, so let them not impatiently urge Me.

60 Then woe to those who disbelieve (in Allah and His Oneness - Islamic Monotheism) from their Day which they have been promised (for their punishment).

60 And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
