1 By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing

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

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

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

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

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

3 And those [ships] sailing with ease

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

3 Then those (ships) that glide easily,

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

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

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

5 Indeed, what you are promised is true.

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 What you are threatened with is most surely true,

6 And indeed, the recompense is to occur.

6 And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen.

6 And the judgment must most surely come about.

7 By the heaven containing pathways,

7 By the heaven full of paths,

7 I swear by the heaven full of ways.

8 Indeed, you are in differing speech.

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

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

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

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 turned away from it who would be turned away.

10 Destroyed are the falsifiers

10 Cursed be the liars

10 Cursed be the liars,

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

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

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

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

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

12 They ask: When is the day of judgment?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

17 They used to sleep but little of the night,

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 in the night.

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

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

18 And in the morning they asked forgiveness.

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

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

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

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

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

21 And in yourselves. Then will you not see?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 most surely the truth, just as you do speak.

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

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

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

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

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, they said: Peace. Peace, said he, a strange people.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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 up in great grief, and she struck her face and said: An old barren woman!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

33 To send down upon them stones of clay,

33 To send down upon them stones of baked clay.

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

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

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 Sent forth from your Lord for the extravagant.

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

35 So We brought out from therein the believers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 forces and said: A magician or a mad man.

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

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 hurled them into the sea and he was blamable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 people of Nuh before, surely they were a transgressing people.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 Therefore fly to Allah, surely I 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.

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 set up with Allah another god: surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

57 I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed 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 desire from them any sustenance and I do not desire that they should feed Me.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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