| 51:1 | | By the scatterers who scatter! |
| 51:2 | | and by those pregnant with their burden! |
| 51:3 | | and by those running on easily! |
| 51:4 | | and by the distributors of affairs!- |
| 51:5 | | verily, what ye are threatened with is surely true! |
| 51:6 | | And, verily, the judgment will surely take place! |
| 51:7 | | By the heaven possessed of paths; |
| 51:8 | | verily, ye are at variance in what ye say! |
| 51:9 | | He is turned from it who is turned. |
| 51:10 | | Slain be the liars, |
| 51:11 | | who are heedless in a flood (of ignorance). |
| 51:12 | | They will ask, 'When is the day of judgment?' |
| 51:13 | | The day when at the fire they shall be tried.- |
| 51:14 | | 'Taste your trial! this is what we wished to hasten on!' |
| 51:15 | | Verily, the pious are in gardens and springs, |
| 51:16 | | taking what their Lord brings them. Verily, they before that did well. |
| 51:17 | | But little of the night they slept; |
| 51:18 | | and at the dawn they asked forgiveness. |
| 51:19 | | And in their wealth was what was due to him who asked, and him who was kept back from asking. |
| 51:20 | | And in the earth are signs to those who are sure, |
| 51:21 | | and in yourselves,- what! do ye not then see? |
| 51:22 | | And in the heaven is your provision and that which ye are promised. |
| 51:23 | | But by the Lord of the heaven and the earth! verily, it is the truth,- like that which ye do utter! |
| 51:24 | | Has the tale of Abraham's honoured guests reached thee? |
| 51:25 | | When they entered in unto him and said, 'Peace!' he said, 'Peace!-a people unrecognised.' |
| 51:26 | | And he went aside unto his people and fetched a fat calf, |
| 51:27 | | and brought it nigh unto them; said he, 'Will ye then not eat?' |
| 51:28 | | And he felt a secret fear of them: said they, Fear not.' And they gave him glad tidings of a knowing boy. |
| 51:29 | | And his wife approached with a noise, and smote her face, and said, 'An old woman, barren!' |
| 51:30 | | Said they, 'Thus says thy Lord, He is knowing, wise.' |
| 51:31 | | Said he, 'And about what is your errand, O ye messengers?' |
| 51:32 | | They said, 'Verily, we are sent unto a sinful people, |
| 51:33 | | to send upon them stones of clay, |
| 51:34 | | marked from thy Lord for the extravagant.' |
| 51:35 | | And we sent out therefrom such as were in it of the believers; |
| 51:36 | | but we only found therein one house of Muslims. |
| 51:37 | | And we left therein a sign to those who fear the grievous woe. |
| 51:38 | | And in Moses; when we sent him to Pharaoh with obvious authority. |
| 51:39 | | But he turned his back towards his column and said, 'A sorcerer or mad!' |
| 51:40 | | And we seized him and his hosts and hurled them into the sea; for he was to be blamed. |
| 51:41 | | And in 'Ad, when we sent against them a desolating wind, |
| 51:42 | | that left naught on which it came without making it ashes! |
| 51:43 | | And in Thamud, when it was said to them, 'Enjoy yourselves for a season.' |
| 51:44 | | But they revolted against the bidding of their Lord; and the noise caught them as they looked on. |
| 51:45 | | And they could not stand upright, and they were not helped! |
| 51:46 | | And the people of Noah of yore; verily, they were an abominable people. |
| 51:47 | | And the heaven - we have built it with might, and, verily, we do surely give it ample space! |
| 51:48 | | And the earth - we have spread it out; and how well we lay it out! |
| 51:49 | | And of everything have we created pairs, haply ye may be mindful. |
| 51:50 | | Flee then to God; verily, I am a plain warner from Him to you! |
| 51:51 | | And do not set with God another god; verily, I am a plain warner from Him to you! |
| 51:52 | | Thus there came no apostle to those before them, but they said, 'A sorcerer, mad!' |
| 51:53 | | Do they bequeath it to each other? Yea, they are an outrageous people! |
| 51:54 | | So turn thy back upon them, so thou wilt not be to blame. |
| 51:55 | | And remind; for, verily, the reminder shall profit the believers. |
| 51:56 | | And I have not created the ginn and mankind save that they may worship me. |
| 51:57 | | I do not desire any provision from them, and I do not wish them to feed me. |
| 51:58 | | Verily, God, He is the provider, endowed with steady might. |
| 51:59 | | Verily, for those who injure (the Apostle) shall be a portion like the portion of their fellows, but let them not hurry Me! |
| 51:60 | | Then woe to those who misbelieve from their day which they are threatened. |
