| 51:1 | | And (by) the winnowers with (swift) winnowing. |
| 51:2 | | Then (by) the bearers of heavy burdens, (Or: obstruction). |
| 51:3 | | Then (by) the runners with ease, |
| 51:4 | | Then (by) the dividers by the Command. |
| 51:5 | | Surely what you are promised is indeed sincere. |
| 51:6 | | And surely the Doom is indeed befalling. |
| 51:7 | | And (by) the heaven comprising interwoven tracks, |
| 51:8 | | Surely you (The pronoun is plural) are indeed of a different opinion, (Literally: of a different saying) |
| 51:9 | | Diverged therefrom whoever is diverged (from truth). |
| 51:10 | | Slain are the constant conjecturers, |
| 51:11 | | They who are unmindful and in perplexity (about the Hereafter), |
| 51:12 | | Asking, "When is the Day of Doom?" |
| 51:13 | | The Day when it is they (who) will be tempted (Or: tried) at the Fire; |
| 51:14 | | "Taste your temptation! (Or: trial) This is what you were seeking to hasten." |
| 51:15 | | Surely the pious will be in (the midst of) Gardens and Springs, |
| 51:16 | | Taking whatever their Lord has brought them; surely, they were fair-doers before that. |
| 51:17 | | They used to slumber (only) little of the night; |
| 51:18 | | And before dawn, it is they (who) would seek forgiveness. |
| 51:19 | | And in their riches, the beggar and the dispossessed have what is truthfully their due. |
| 51:20 | | And in the earth are signs for the ones having certitude, |
| 51:21 | | And in your selves; do you then not behold? |
| 51:22 | | And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised. |
| 51:23 | | So by The Lord of the heaven and the earth, surely it is indeed true as (it is true) that you (can) pronounce (your languages). |
| 51:24 | | Has the discourse about Ibrahim's (Abraham) honored guests come up (to your knowledge)? |
| 51:25 | | As they entered to him, then they said, "Peace!" He said, "Peace! (You) are a people disclaimed (by me)." (i.e., not recognized by me) |
| 51:26 | | So he went apart to his family, then came with a plump calf; |
| 51:27 | | So he laid it near them and said, "Will you not eat?" |
| 51:28 | | Then he entertained a fright of them. They said, "Do not fear (anything)." And they gave him good tidings of a knowledgeable youth. |
| 51:29 | | So came forward his wife, clamoring; (literally: with a clamor) then she beat her face, and said, "An old sterile woman!" |
| 51:30 | | They said, "Thus your Lord has said; surely He, Ever He, is The Ever-Wise, The Ever-Knowing." |
| 51:31 | | Said he, "So, what is your concern, you Emissaries?" |
| 51:32 | | They said, "Surely we have been sent to a criminal people, |
| 51:33 | | To send upon them stones of clay |
| 51:34 | | Marked in the Reckoning of your Lord for the extravagant." |
| 51:35 | | Then We brought out whoever of the believers who were in it, |
| 51:36 | | Yet, in no way did We find therein other than one house of Muslims; (i.e., those who surrender themselves to Allah). |
| 51:37 | | And We have left in it a sign to the ones who fear the painful torment. |
| 51:38 | | And (also there is a sign) in Musa (Moses) as We sent him to Firaawn (pharaoh) with an evident, all- binding authority. |
| 51:39 | | Yet he turned away, with his (court) supporters, and said, "A sorcerer or a madman." |
| 51:40 | | So We took him (away) and his hosts; then We flung them off in the main, (and) he was blameworthy. |
| 51:41 | | And (also there is a sign) in c?d as We sent against them the sterile wind. |
| 51:42 | | In no way did it come upon anything except that it left it out (and) made it as a rotten (stuff). |
| 51:43 | | And (also there is a sign) in Thamud as it was said to them, "Take your enjoyment for a while." |
| 51:44 | | Yet they rebelled against the Command of their Lord; so that stunning (thunderbolt) took them (away) (while) they were looking on. |
| 51:45 | | So in no way were they able to be upright, and in no way were they vindicators. |
| 51:46 | | And the people of Nuh (Noah) earlier, surely they were an immoral people. |
| 51:47 | | And the heaven (is also a sign). We have built it with (Our) Hands (i.e., Capability) and surely We are indeed extending (it) wide. |
| 51:48 | | And the earth, We have laid it out (as) a bedding, so how excellent are the Smoothers! (i.e., Those who make the earth as a cradle) |
| 51:49 | | And of everything We created pairs, that possibly you would be mindful. |
| 51:50 | | "So flee to Allah! Surely I am an evident, constant warner from Him to you. |
| 51:51 | | And do not set up with Allah another god; surely I am an evident, constant warner from Him to you." |
| 51:52 | | Thus in no way did (any) Messenger come up to the ones even before them except that they said, "A sorcerer or a madman." |
| 51:53 | | Have they enjoined (this saying) one to another? No indeed, (but) they are an inordinate people. |
| 51:54 | | Then turn back from them; so in no way are you blameworthy. |
| 51:55 | | And remind; then surely reminding profits the believers. |
| 51:56 | | And in no way did I create the jinn and humankind except to worship Me. |
| 51:57 | | In no way would I have from them any provision; and in no way would I have them to feed Me. |
| 51:58 | | Surely Allah is The Superb Provider, The Owner of Power, The Ever-Pervading. |
| 51:59 | | Then surely the ones who did injustice will have an allotment like the allotment of their companions; so let them not seek to hasten Me! |
| 51:60 | | So woe to the ones who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised. |
