English - Chapter 51 - Adh-Dhariyat

By the dipersing winds that disperse

And the clouds bearing a load

And the ships that glide with ease

And the angels who distribute the affair

Verily that wherewith ye are threatened is surely true

And verily the Requital is surely to befall

By the heaven full of paths

Verily ye are in a divided opinion

Turned aside therefrom is who is turned aside

Perish the conjecturers

Those who are in heedlessness neglectful

They ask: when is the Day of Requital coming

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

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

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

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

Little of the night they were wont to slumber

And in the dawns they prayed for forgiveness

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

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

And also in Your own selves. Behold ye not

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That we may send down upon them stones of baked clay

Marked, from before thy Lord, for extravagant

Thus We brought forth from there in who were believers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So turn away thou from them, not thou art blameworthy

And admonish, for verily admonition profiteth the believers

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

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

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

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

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