The Scatterers -Ath-Thariyat |
|
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful |
|
1 |
|
[ 51. 1 ] By the scatterers ( the wind ) scattering, |
|
2 |
|
[ 51. 2 ] then the bearers of weight ( the clouds ), |
|
3 |
|
[ 51. 3 ] then the easy runners ( the ships ); |
|
4 |
|
[ 51. 4 ] then by the distributors ( angels ), ordered; |
|
5 |
|
[ 51. 5 ] indeed, that which you are promised is true, |
|
6 |
|
[ 51. 6 ] and the recompense shall surely happen. |
|
7 |
|
[ 51. 7 ] By the heaven with its passages, |
|
8 |
|
[ 51. 8 ] surely, you are in different sayings, |
|
9 |
|
[ 51. 9 ] and are turned away from him who is turned. |
|
10 |
|
[ 51. 10 ] Woe to the liars |
|
11 |
|
[ 51. 11 ] who are heedless in the immersion. |
|
12 |
|
[ 51. 12 ] 'When will the Day of Judgement be?' they ask. |
|
13 |
|
[ 51. 13 ] On that Day they shall be tried at the Fire, |
|
14 |
|
[ 51. 14 ] 'Taste your trial. This is what you have sought to hasten!' |
|
15 |
|
[ 51. 15 ] The righteous shall live among gardens and fountains, |
|
16 |
|
[ 51. 16 ] receiving what their Lord will give them because before this they were gooddoers. |
|
17 |
|
[ 51. 17 ] They slept but a little at night, |
|
18 |
|
[ 51. 18 ] and at dawn would ask forgiveness, |
|
19 |
|
[ 51. 19 ] and in their wealth was a share for whosoever asked and for whosoever was prevented. |
|
20 |
|
[ 51. 20 ] For those with sure belief there are signs in the earth, |
|
21 |
|
[ 51. 21 ] and also in yourselves. Can you not see? |
|
22 |
|
[ 51. 22 ] In the sky is your provision and that which you are promised. |
|
23 |
|
[ 51. 23 ] So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as true as your speech. |
|
24 |
|
[ 51. 24 ] Have you heard the story of Abraham's honored guests? |
|
25 |
|
[ 51. 25 ] They entered to him and said: 'Peace.' And he replied: 'Peace, you are people unknown to me.' |
|
26 |
|
[ 51. 26 ] So he turned to his household and brought a fattened calf. |
|
27 |
|
[ 51. 27 ] He set it before them, saying: 'Will you not eat?' |
|
28 |
|
[ 51. 28 ] Then he conceived a fear about them, and they said: 'Have no fear', and gave him the glad tidings that he was to have a knowledgeable son. |
|
29 |
|
[ 51. 29 ] ( Sarah ) his wife came with an exclamation and clasped her face, and said: 'Surely, I am a barren old woman!' |
|
30 |
|
[ 51. 30 ] 'Such, says your Lord,' they replied: 'He is the Wise, the Knower.' |
|
31 |
|
[ 51. 31 ] 'Messengers,' said he ( Abraham ), 'what is your errand?' |
|
32 |
|
[ 51. 32 ] They replied: 'We are sent to a sinful nation, |
|
33 |
|
[ 51. 33 ] so that we bring down stones of clay upon them |
|
34 |
|
[ 51. 34 ] marked by your Lord for the sinful.' |
|
35 |
|
[ 51. 35 ] So We brought the believers out of that they were in. |
|
36 |
|
[ 51. 36 ] But We found in it only one household of those who had surrendered themselves, |
|
37 |
|
[ 51. 37 ] and left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment. |
|
38 |
|
[ 51. 38 ] In Moses, too, ( there were signs ). We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority, |
|
39 |
|
[ 51. 39 ] but he turned his back with his Assembly, saying: 'He is ( either ) a sorcerer or a mad man!' |
|
40 |
|
[ 51. 40 ] So We seized him and his hosts and cast them into the sea. Indeed, he was blameworthy. |
|
41 |
|
[ 51. 41 ] And in Aad. We let loose on them a withering wind |
|
42 |
|
[ 51. 42 ] that left nothing it came upon, except that it was ashes. |
|
43 |
|
[ 51. 43 ] And in Thamood it was said to them: 'Take your enjoyment for awhile!' |
|
44 |
|
[ 51. 44 ] But in their pride they turn away from the commandment of their Lord and the thunderbolt struck them whilst they were looking; |
|
45 |
|
[ 51. 45 ] they could neither stand up straight, nor were they helped. |
|
46 |
|
[ 51. 46 ] And before them the nation of Noah, indeed they were a debauched nation. |
|
47 |
|
[ 51. 47 ] We built the heaven with might, and We widely extended it. |
|
48 |
|
[ 51. 48 ] and We cradled the earth. And We are the Best of Cradlers. |
|
49 |
|
[ 51. 49 ] We created two kinds of all things, so that you will remember. |
|
50 |
|
[ 51. 50 ] Therefore, flee to Allah. I am a clear warner to you from Him. |
|
51 |
|
[ 51. 51 ] Do not set up with Allah another god. I am a clear warner to you from Him. |
|
52 |
|
[ 51. 52 ] Similarly, no Messenger came to those before them but they said: 'Sorcerer, or mad!' |
|
53 |
|
[ 51. 53 ] Have they handed this down from one to another? No, rather, they are an insolent nation. |
|
54 |
|
[ 51. 54 ] So turn away from them, you shall not be blamed, |
|
55 |
|
[ 51. 55 ] But remind, the Reminder will benefit the believers. |
|
56 |
|
[ 51. 56 ] I have not created mankind and jinn except to worship Me. |
|
57 |
|
[ 51. 57 ] I do not desire provision from them, nor do I desire that they should feed Me. |
|
58 |
|
[ 51. 58 ] Surely, Allah is the Provider, the Possessor of Power, the Mighty. |
|
59 |
|
[ 51. 59 ] The evildoers shall have for their portion, a portion like their companions ( who were destroyed before them ). Therefore, they should not ask Us to hasten! |
|
60 |
|
[ 51. 60 ] Woe then to the unbelievers for their Day which they were promised! |
