51Adh-Dhaariyat

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالذَّارِيَاتِ ذَرْوًا

By the dipersing winds that disperse.

فَالْحَامِلَاتِ وِقْرًا

And the clouds bearing a load.

فَالْجَارِيَاتِ يُسْرًا

And the ships that glide with ease.

فَالْمُقَسِّمَاتِ أَمْرًا

And the angels who distribute the affair.

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌ

Verily that wherewith ye are threatened is surely true.

وَإِنَّ الدِّينَ لَوَاقِعٌ

And verily the Requital is surely to befall.

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْحُبُكِ

By the heaven full of paths.

إِنَّكُمْ لَفِي قَوْلٍ مُخْتَلِفٍ

Verily ye are in a divided opinion.

يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ

Turned aside therefrom is who is turned aside.

قُتِلَ الْخَرَّاصُونَ

Perish the conjecturers

الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ

Those who are in heedlessness neglectful.

يَسْأَلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

They ask: when is the Day of Requital coming?

يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ

It will be the Day whereon in the Fire they will be burned

ذُوقُوا فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Taste your burning: this is that which ye sought to be hastened.

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Verily the God-fearing will be amid Gardens and water- springs.

آخِذِينَ مَا آتَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ

Taking that which their Lord will vouchsafe Unto hem. Verily they have been before that well-doers.

كَانُوا قَلِيلًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ

Little of the night they were wont to slumber.

وَبِالْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ

And in the dawns they prayed for forgiveness.

وَفِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ

And in their substance was the right of the beggar and non- beggar.

وَفِي الْأَرْضِ آيَاتٌ لِلْمُوقِنِينَ

And on the earth there are signs for those who would be convinced.

وَفِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ

And also in Your own selves. Behold ye not?

وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ

And in the heaven is Your provision and that which ye are promised.

فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنْطِقُونَ

By the Lord of the heaven and the earth it is sure, even as it is a fact that ye are speaking.

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ

Hath there come Unto thee the story of Ibrahim's honoured guests?

إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا سَلَامًا ۖ قَالَ سَلَامٌ قَوْمٌ مُنْكَرُونَ

When they came in Unto him, and said:'peace!' he said: 'peace'! - people unknown.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ فَجَاءَ بِعِجْلٍ سَمِينٍ

Then he turned away privately Unto his household, and brought a calf fatted.

فَقَرَّبَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ

And he set it before them, and said: wherefore eat ye not?

فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوا لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَامٍ عَلِيمٍ

Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: fear not. And they gave him the tidings of a youth knowing.

فَأَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ فِي صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ

Then his wife drew near vociferating, and smote her face, and said: an old barren woman!

قَالُوا كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ

They said: even so saith thine Lords Verily He! He is the Wise, the Knower.

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ

He said: what then is your errand! O ye sent ones!

قَالُوا إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُجْرِمِينَ

They said: verily we are sent Unto a people, guilty.

لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِنْ طِينٍ

That we may send down upon them stones of baked clay.

مُسَوَّمَةً عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ

Marked, from before thy Lord, for extravagant.

فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَنْ كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Thus We brought forth from there in who were believers.

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

And We found not therein more than one house of the Muslims.

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَا آيَةً لِلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ

And We left therein a sign for those who fear the afflictive torment.

وَفِي مُوسَىٰ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَانٍ مُبِينٍ

And in Musa also was a lesson, when We sent him Unto Fir'awn with authority manifest.

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِ وَقَالَ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ

Then he turned away with his court, and said: a magician or a madman.

فَأَخَذْنَاهُ وَجُنُودَهُ فَنَبَذْنَاهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ

Then We laid hold of him and his hosts and flung them into the sea, and he was reproachable.

وَفِي عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّيحَ الْعَقِيمَ

And in `A-ad also was a lesson, when We sent against them the barren wind.

مَا تَذَرُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيمِ

It left not aught whereon it came but it made it as matter decayed.

وَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

And in Thamud's also was a lesson, when it was said Unto them: enjoy yourselves for a season.

فَعَتَوْا عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ

Then they disdained the command of their Lord; wherefore the bolt laid hold of them even while they looked on.

فَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا مِنْ قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنْتَصِرِينَ

So they were not able to stand, nor could they help themselves.

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ

And the people of Nuh We destroyed aforetime; verily they were a people transgressing.

وَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ

And the heaven! We have built it with might, and verily We are powerful.

وَالْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَاهَا فَنِعْمَ الْمَاهِدُونَ

And the earth! We have stretched it forth beneath; an excellent Spreader are We!

وَمِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

And of every thing We have created pairs, that haply ye may remember.

فَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُمْ مِنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ

Flee therefore Unto Allah; verily I am Unto you from Him a warner manifest.

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُمْ مِنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ

And set not up another god with Allah; verily I am Unto you from Him a warner manifest.

كَذَٰلِكَ مَا أَتَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ

Likewise, there came not an apostle Unto those before them but they said: a magician or a madman!

أَتَوَاصَوْا بِهِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ

Have they bequeathed its Unto each other! Nay! they are a people contumacious.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَا أَنْتَ بِمَلُومٍ

So turn away thou from them, not thou art blameworthy.

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَىٰ تَنْفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And admonish, for verily admonition profiteth the believers.

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

And have not created the Jinn and mankind but that they should worship Me.

مَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ رِزْقٍ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ يُطْعِمُونِ

I seek not any provision from them, nor I desire that they should feed Me.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ

Verily Allah! He is the Provider, Owner of power, Firm.

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا ذَنُوبًا مِثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ

So verily Unto those who do wrong there is a portion like Unto the portion of their fellows; wherefore let them not ask Me to hasten on.

فَوَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ يَوْمِهِمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ

Woe, then, Unto those who disbelieve in their Day which they are promised.
