আয্ যারিয়াত (উড়ন্ত ধূলিকণা)

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

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those that winnow with a winnowing

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

2 And those that bear the burden (of the rain)

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

3 And those that glide with ease (upon the sea)

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

4 And those who distribute (blessings) by command,

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 Lo! that wherewith ye are threatened is indeed true,

6 And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen.

6 And lo! the judgment will indeed befall.

7 By the heaven full of paths,

7 By the heaven full of paths,

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

8 Lo! ye, forsooth, are of various opinion (concerning the truth).

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 He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse.

10 Cursed be the liars

10 Accursed be the conjecturers

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

11 Who are careless in an abyss!

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

12 They ask: When is the Day of Judgment ?

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

13 (It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire,

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

14 (And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten.

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

15 Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and watersprings,

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 Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were 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 ere the dawning of each day would seek 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 in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share.

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

20 And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure.

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

21 And (also) in yourselves. Can ye then not see ?

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

22 And in the heaven is your providence and that which ye 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 And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is the truth, even as (it is true) that ye speak.

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

24 Hath the story of Abraham's honoured guests reached thee (O Muhammad) ?

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 came in unto him and said: Peace! he answered, Peace! (and thought): Folk unknown (to me).

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 apart unto his housefolk so that they brought a fatted calf;

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

27 And he set it before them, saying: Will ye 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 Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! and gave him tidings of (the birth of) a wise son.

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

29 Then his wife came forward, making moan, and smote her face, and cried: A barren old woman!

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

30 They said: Even so saith thy Lord. Lo! He is the Wise, the Knower.

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

31 (Abraham) said: And (afterward) what is your errand, O ye sent (from Allah) ?

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

32 They said: Lo! we are sent unto a guilty folk,

33 To send down upon them stones of baked clay.

33 That we may send 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 by thy Lord for (the destruction of) the wanton.

35 So We brought out from therein the believers.

35 Then we brought forth such believers as were there.

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

36 But We found there but one house of those surrendered (to Allah).

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 behind therein a portent for those who fear a painful doom.

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 (too, there is a portent) when We sent him unto Pharaoh with clear warrant,

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 withdrew (confiding) in his might, and said: A wizard or a madman.

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

40 So We seized him and his hosts and flung them in the sea, for he was reprobate.

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

41 And in (the tribe of) A'ad (there is a portent) when we sent the fatal wind against them.

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

42 It spared naught that it reached, but made it (all) as dust.

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

43 And in (the tribe of) Thamud (there is a portent) when it was told them: Take your ease awhile.

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

44 But they rebelled against their Lord's decree, and so the thunderbolt overtook them even while they gazed;

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

45 And they were unable to rise up, nor could they help 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 the folk of Noah aforetime. Lo! they were licentious folk.

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

47 We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof).

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

48 And the earth have We laid out, how gracious is the Spreader (thereof)!

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

49 And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect.

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 Therefor flee unto Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from him.

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 set not any other god along with Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from Him.

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

52 Even so there came no messenger unto those before them but they said: A wizard 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 Have they handed down (the saying) as an heirloom one unto another ? Nay, but they are froward folk.

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 withdraw from them (O Muhammad), for thou art in no wise blameworthy,

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

55 And warn, for warning profiteth believers.

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

56 I created the jinn and humankind only that they might 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 seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me.

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

58 Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might.

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 lo! for those who (now) do wrong there is an evil day like unto the evil day (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on (that day).

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 unto those who disbelieve, from (that) their day which they are promised.
