وَٱلذَّٰرِيَٰتِ ذَرۡوٗا ١

By the [winds] scattering [dust], dispersing [it]

51:2Page 520

فَٱلۡحَٰمِلَٰتِ وِقۡرٗا ٢

And the [clouds] carrying a load [of water]

51:3Page 520

فَٱلۡجَٰرِيَٰتِ يُسۡرٗا ٣

And the ships sailing with ease

51:4Page 520

فَٱلۡمُقَسِّمَٰتِ أَمۡرًا ٤

And the [angels] apportioning [each] matter,

51:5Page 520

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٞ ٥

Indeed, what you are promised is true.

51:6Page 520

وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٞ ٦

And indeed, the recompense is to occur.

51:7Page 521

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡحُبُكِ ٧

By the heaven containing pathways,¹

51:8Page 521

إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِي قَوۡلٖ مُّخۡتَلِفٖ ٨

Indeed, you are in differing speech.¹

51:9Page 521

يُؤۡفَكُ عَنۡهُ مَنۡ أُفِكَ ٩

Deluded away from it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is he who is deluded.

51:10Page 521

قُتِلَ ٱلۡخَرَّٰصُونَ ١٠

Destroyed are the misinformers¹

51:11Page 521

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَةٖ سَاهُونَ ١١

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

51:12Page 521

يَسۡـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ ١٢

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

51:13Page 521

يَوۡمَ هُمۡ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفۡتَنُونَ ١٣

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

51:14Page 521

ذُوقُواْ فِتۡنَتَكُمۡ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ١٤

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

51:15Page 521

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ ١٥

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,

51:16Page 521

ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحۡسِنِينَ ١٦

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

51:17Page 521

كَانُواْ قَلِيلٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مَا يَهۡجَعُونَ ١٧

They used to sleep but little of the night,¹

51:18Page 521

وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ ١٨

And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,

51:19Page 521

وَفِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ ١٩

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

51:20Page 521

وَفِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ءَايَٰتٞ لِّلۡمُوقِنِينَ ٢٠

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

51:21Page 521

وَفِيٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ٢١

And in yourselves. Then will you not see?

51:22Page 521

وَفِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ ٢٢

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

51:23Page 521

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقّٞ مِّثۡلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمۡ تَنطِقُونَ ٢٣

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

51:24Page 521

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيۡفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِينَ ٢٤

Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham?¹ -

51:25Page 521

إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗاۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٞ قَوۡمٞ مُّنكَرُونَ ٢٥

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

51:26Page 521

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجۡلٖ سَمِينٖ ٢٦

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

51:27Page 521

فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡ قَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ٢٧

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

51:28Page 521

فَأَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِيفَةٗۖ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٖ ٢٨

And he felt from them apprehension.¹ They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

51:29Page 521

فَأَقۡبَلَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ فِي صَرَّةٖ فَصَكَّتۡ وَجۡهَهَا وَقَالَتۡ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٞ ٢٩

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

51:30Page 521

قَالُواْ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٣٠

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

51:31Page 522

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ ٣١

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

51:32Page 522

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ أُرۡسِلۡنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمٖ مُّجۡرِمِينَ ٣٢

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals¹

51:33Page 522

لِنُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةٗ مِّن طِينٖ ٣٣

To send down upon them stones of clay,

51:34Page 522

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ ٣٤

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

51:35Page 522

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٣٥

So We brought out whoever was in them [i.e., the cities] of the believers.

51:36Page 522

فَمَا وَجَدۡنَا فِيهَا غَيۡرَ بَيۡتٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ ٣٦

And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.¹

51:37Page 522

وَتَرَكۡنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ ٣٧

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

51:38Page 522

وَفِي مُوسَىٰٓ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٖ ٣٨

And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.¹

51:39Page 522

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكۡنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَٰحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٞ ٣٩

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

51:40Page 522

فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ ٤٠

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

51:41Page 522

وَفِي عَادٍ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلۡعَقِيمَ ٤١

And in ʿAad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.¹

51:42Page 522

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَيۡءٍ أَتَتۡ عَلَيۡهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتۡهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ ٤٢

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

51:43Page 522

وَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذۡ قِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَمَتَّعُواْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ ٤٣

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

51:44Page 522

فَعَتَوۡاْ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ ٤٤

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

51:45Page 522

فَمَا ٱسۡتَطَٰعُواْ مِن قِيَامٖ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنتَصِرِينَ ٤٥

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

51:46Page 522

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمٗا فَٰسِقِينَ ٤٦

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

51:47Page 522

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيۡنَٰهَا بِأَيۡيْدٖ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ٤٧

And the heaven We constructed with strength,¹ and indeed, We are [its] expander.

51:48Page 522

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنَٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَٰهِدُونَ ٤٨

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

51:49Page 522

وَمِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَا زَوۡجَيۡنِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ ٤٩

And of all things We created two mates [i.e., counterparts]; perhaps you will remember.

51:50Page 522

فَفِرُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ ٥٠

So flee to Allāh.¹ Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

51:51Page 522

وَلَا تَجۡعَلُواْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ ٥١

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

51:52Page 523

كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُواْ سَاحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ ٥٢

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

51:53Page 523

أَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٞ طَاغُونَ ٥٣

Did they suggest it to them?¹ Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.

51:54Page 523

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٖ ٥٤

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

51:55Page 523

وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٥٥

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

51:56Page 523

وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ ٥٦

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

51:57Page 523

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقٖ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطۡعِمُونِ ٥٧

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

51:58Page 523

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِينُ ٥٨

Indeed, it is Allāh who is the [continual] Provider,¹ the firm possessor of strength.

51:59Page 523

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذَنُوبٗا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ ٥٩

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

51:60Page 523

فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن يَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ ٦٠

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