| 1 | By the ( Winds ) that scatter broadcast; | ||
| 2 | And those that lift and bear away heavy weights; | ||
| 3 | And those that flow with ease and gentleness; | ||
| 4 | And those that distribute and apportion by command | ||
| 5 | Verily that which ye are promised is true; | ||
| 6 | And verily Judgment and Justice must indeed come to pass. | ||
| 7 | By the Sky with ( its ) numerous Paths. | ||
| 8 | Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant. | ||
| 9 | Through which are deluded ( away from the Truth ) such as would be deluded. | ||
| 10 | Woe to the falsehood-mongers | ||
| 11 | Those who ( flounder ) heedless in a flood of confusion: | ||
| 12 | They ask " when will be the Day of Judgment and Justice? " | ||
| 13 | ( It will be ) a Day when they will be tried ( and tested ) over the Fire! | ||
| 14 | " Taste ye your trial! this is what ye used to ask to be hastened! " | ||
| 15 | As to the Righteous they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs. | ||
| 16 | Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them because before then they lived a good life. | ||
| 17 | They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night. | ||
| 18 | And in the hours of early dawn They ( were found ) praying for Forgiveness; | ||
| 19 | And in their wealth and possessions ( was remembered ) the right of the ( needy ) him who asked and him who ( for some reason ) was prevented ( from asking ). | ||
| 20 | On the earth are Signs for those of assured Faith. | ||
| 21 | As also in your own selves: will ye not then see?. | ||
| 22 | And in heaven is your Sustenance as ( also ) that which ye are promised. | ||
| 23 | Then by the Lord of heaven and earth this is the very Truth as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other. | ||
| 24 | Has the story reached thee of the honored guests of Abraham?. | ||
| 25 | Behold they entered His presence and said: " Peace! " He said " Peace! " ( and thought " these seem ) unusual people. " | ||
| 26 | Then he turned quickly to his household brought out a fatted calf. | ||
| 27 | And placed it before them. He said " Will ye not eat? " | ||
| 28 | ( When they did not eat ) He conceived a fear of them. They said " Fear not " and they gave him glad tidings of a son endowed with knowledge. | ||
| 29 | But his wife came forward ( laughing ) aloud: she smote her forehead and said: " a barren old woman! " | ||
| 30 | They said " Even so has thy Lord spoken: and He is full of Wisdom and Knowledge. " | ||
| 31 | ( Abraham ) said: " And what o ye Messengers is your errand ( now )? " | ||
| 32 | They said " We have been sent to a people ( deep ) in sin | ||
| 33 | " To bring on on them ( a shower of ) stones of clay ( brimstone ). | ||
| 34 | " Marked as from thy Lord for those who trespass beyond bounds. " | ||
| 35 | Then We evacuated those of the Believers who were there. | ||
| 36 | But We found not there any just ( Muslim ) persons except in one house: | ||
| 37 | And We left there a Signs for such as fear the Grievous Penalty. | ||
| 38 | And in Moses ( was another Sign ): Behold We sent him to Pharaoh with authority manifest. | ||
| 39 | But ( Pharaoh ) turned back with his Chiefs and said " A sorcerer or one possessed! " | ||
| 40 | So We took him and his forces and threw them into the sea: and his was the blame. | ||
| 41 | And in the 'Ad ( people ) ( was another Sign ): Behold We sent against them the devastating Wind: | ||
| 42 | It left nothing whatever that it came up against but reduced it to ruin and rottenness. | ||
| 43 | And in the Thamud ( was another Sign ): Behold they were told " Enjoy ( your brief day ) for a little while! " | ||
| 44 | But they insolently defied the command of their Lord: so the stunning noise ( of an earthquake ) seized them even while they were looking on. | ||
| 45 | Then they could not even stand ( on their feet ) nor could they help themselves. | ||
| 46 | So were the people of Noah before them: for they wickedly transgressed. | ||
| 47 | With the power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of Space. | ||
| 48 | And We have spread out the ( spacious ) earth: how excellently We do spread out! | ||
| 49 | And of everything We have created pairs: that ye may receive instruction. | ||
| 50 | Hasten ye then ( at once ) to Allah: I am from Him a warner to you clear and open! | ||
| 51 | And make not another an object of worship with Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you clear and open! | ||
| 52 | Similarly no apostle came to the Peoples before them but they said ( of him ) in like manner " A sorcerer or one possessed "! | ||
| 53 | Is this the legacy they have transmitted one to another? Nay they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds! | ||
| 54 | So turn away from them: not thine is the blame. | ||
| 55 | But teach ( thy Message ): for teaching benefits the Believers. | ||
| 56 | I have only created jinns and men that they may serve Me. | ||
| 57 | No sustenance do I require of them nor do I require that they should feed Me. | ||
| 58 | For Allah is He Who gives ( all ) Sustenance Lord of Power Steadfast ( for ever ). | ||
| 59 | For the wrongdoers their portion is like unto the portion of their fellows ( of earlier generations ): then let them not ask Me to hasten ( that portion )! | ||
| 60 | Woe then to the Unbelievers on account of that day of theirs which they have been promised! | ||
