English - Chapter 51 - Adh-Dhariyat

By the scattering Dhariyat

And the laden Hamilat

And the steady Jariyat

And the distributors of command

Verily, that which you are promised is surely true

And verily, Ad-Din is sure to occur

By the heaven full of Hubuk

Certainly, you have different ideas

Turned aside therefrom is he who is turned aside

Cursed be Al-Kharrasun

Who are under a cover of Sahun

They ask: "When will be the Day of Ad-Din

Taste you your trial! This is what you used to ask to be hastened

Verily, those who have Taqwa will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs

Taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this doers of good

They used to sleep but little by night

And in the hours before dawn, they were asking for forgiveness

And in their wealth there was the right of the Sa'il and the Mahrum

And on the earth are signs for those who have faith with certainty

And also in yourselves. Will you not then see

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

Then by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is the truth, just as you can speak

Has the story reached you, of the honored guests of Ibrahim

When they came in to him and said: "Salaman!" He answered: "Salamun" and said: "You are a people unknown to me

Then he turned to his household, and brought out a roasted calf

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

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

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

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

(Ibrahim) said: "Then for what purpose you have come, O messengers

They said: "We have been sent to a people who are criminals

To send down upon them stones of clay

Marked by your Lord for transgressors

So We brought out from therein the believers

But We found not there any household of the Muslims except one

And We have left there a sign for those who fear the painful torment

And in Musa, when We sent him to Fir`awn with a manifest authority

But (he) turned away along with his hosts, and said: "A sorcerer or a madman

So We took him and his armies, and dumped them into the sea (Yamm), for he was blameworthy

And in `Ad when We sent against them the barren wind

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

And in Thamud, when they were told: "Enjoy yourselves for a while

But they insolently defied the command of their Lord, so the Sa`iqah overtook them while they were looking

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

(So were) the people of Nuh before them. Verily, they were a people who were rebellious

With Hands We constructed the heaven. Verily, We are able to expand the vastness of space thereof

And We have made the earth a Firash; how excellent spreader (thereof) are We

And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember

So, flee to Allah. Verily, I am a plain warner to you from Him

And set not up any other god along with Allah. Verily, I am a plain warner to you from Him

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

Have they transmitted this saying to these Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds

So turn away from them, you are not blameworthy

And remind, for verily, the reminding profits the believers

And I created not the Jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me

I seek not any provision from them nor do I ask that they should feed Me

Verily, Allah is the All-Provider, Owner of power, the Most Strong

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

Then woe to those who disbelieve from their Day which they have been promised
