|---|
| 51:1 | | By the winds that blow. |
| 51:2 | | Carrying rain. |
| 51:3 | | Travelling easily. |
| 51:4 | | Distributing as commanded. |
| 51:5 | | What you are being promised is true. |
| 51:6 | | And the Judgment will come to pass. |
| 51:7 | | By the sky that is clear. |
| 51:8 | | You are saying what is different. |
| 51:9 | | To mislead those who are misled. |
| 51:10 | | Woe to the deceitful. |
| 51:11 | | Who are in mischief, unaware. |
| 51:12 | | They ask: "When is the Day of Judgment" |
| 51:13 | | The Day they ordeal upon the Fire. |
| 51:14 | | "Taste this ordeal of yours; this is what you asked to be hastened." |
| 51:15 | | The righteous are in paradises and springs. |
| 51:16 | | Receiving what their Lord has bestowed to them, for they were before that pious. |
| 51:17 | | They used to rarely sleep the whole night. |
| 51:18 | | And before dawn, they would seek forgiveness. |
| 51:19 | | An in their money was a portion for the beggar and the needy. |
| 51:20 | | And in the Earth are signs for those who comprehend. |
| 51:21 | | And within yourselves; do you not see |
| 51:22 | | And in the heaven is your provision, and what you are promised. |
| 51:23 | | By the Lord of the heaven and the Earth, this is truth just as the fact that you speak. |
| 51:24 | | Has the story of Abraham's noble guests come to you |
| 51:25 | | When they entered upon him, they said: "Peace." He said: "Peace to a people unknown!" |
| 51:26 | | Then he went to his family and brought a fat roasted calf. |
| 51:27 | | He offered it to them, he said: "Do you not eat" |
| 51:28 | | He then became fearful of them. They said: "Do not fear," and they gave him good news of a knowledgeable son. |
| 51:29 | | His wife then approached in amazement. She slapped upon her face, and said: "I am a sterile old woman!" |
| 51:30 | | They said: "It was such that your Lord has said. He is the Wise, the Knowledgeable." |
| 51:31 | | He said: "What is your undertaking, O messengers" |
| 51:32 | | They said: "We have been sent to a criminal people." |
| 51:33 | | "To send down upon them rocks of clay." |
| 51:34 | | "Prepared by your Lord for the transgressors." |
| 51:35 | | We then vacated from it all the believers. |
| 51:36 | | But We only found in it one house of those who had surrendered. |
| 51:37 | | And We have left in it a sign for those who fear the painful retribution. |
| 51:38 | | And also Moses, for We sent him to Pharaoh with a clear authority. |
| 51:39 | | But he turned away, in arrogance, and he said: "A magician, or crazy." |
| 51:40 | | So We took him and his troops; We cast them into the sea, and he was to blame. |
| 51:41 | | And also 'Aad, for We sent upon them the hurricane wind. |
| 51:42 | | Anything that it came upon was utterly destroyed. |
| 51:43 | | And also Thamud, for it was said to them: "Enjoy for a while." |
| 51:44 | | But they rebelled against the command of their Lord. So the lightning struck them while they were looking. |
| 51:45 | | They were unable to rise up, nor could they win. |
| 51:46 | | And the people of Noah before; they were a wicked people. |
| 51:47 | | And We constructed the universe using matter, and We will expand it. |
| 51:48 | | And the Earth We furnished; glory be to the Makers. |
| 51:49 | | And from everything We created a pair, perhaps you may remember. |
| 51:50 | | So turn towards God. I am to you from Him a clear warner. |
| 51:51 | | And do not make any other god with God. I am to you from Him a clear warner. |
| 51:52 | | Likewise, when a messenger went to those before them, they said: "A magician, or crazy." |
| 51:53 | | Have they passed down this saying to each other Indeed, they are a wicked people. |
| 51:54 | | So turn away from them; you will not be blamed. |
| 51:55 | | And remind, for the reminder benefits the believers. |
| 51:56 | | I did not create the Jinn and the humans except to serve Me. |
| 51:57 | | I need no provisions from them, nor do I need them to give food. |
| 51:58 | | God is the Provider, the One with Power, the Supreme. |
| 51:59 | | The transgressors will have the same fate as their previous friends; so let them not be hasty. |
| 51:60 | | So woe to those who rejected from the Day that is waiting for them. |
