| | Shakir rendition of Surah The Winnowing Winds, The Scatterers(adh-Dhariyat)
--- |
|---|
| 51:1 | | I swear by the wind that scatters far and wide, |
| 51:2 | | Then those clouds bearing the load (of minute things in space). |
| 51:3 | | Then those (ships) that glide easily, |
| 51:4 | | Then those (angels who) distribute blessings by Our command; |
| 51:5 | | What you are threatened with is most surely true, |
| 51:6 | | And the judgment must most surely come about. |
| 51:7 | | I swear by the heaven full of ways. |
| 51:8 | | Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say, |
| 51:9 | | He is turned away from it who would be turned away. |
| 51:10 | | Cursed be the liars, |
| 51:11 | | Who are in a gulf (of ignorance) neglectful; |
| 51:12 | | They ask: When is the day of judgment? |
| 51:13 | | (It is) the day on which they shall be tried at the fire. |
| 51:14 | | Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on. |
| 51:15 | | Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and fountains. |
| 51:16 | | Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good. |
| 51:17 | | They used to sleep but little in the night. |
| 51:18 | | And in the morning they asked forgiveness. |
| 51:19 | | And in their property was a portion due to him who begs and to him who is denied (good). |
| 51:20 | | And in the earth there are signs for those who are sure, |
| 51:21 | | And in your own souls (too); will you not then see? |
| 51:22 | | And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you are threatened with. |
| 51:23 | | And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth! it is most surely the truth, just as you do speak. |
| 51:24 | | Has there come to you information about the honored guests of Ibrahim? |
| 51:25 | | When they entered upon him, they said: Peace. Peace, said he, a strange people. |
| 51:26 | | Then he turned aside to his family secretly and brought a fat (roasted) calf, |
| 51:27 | | So he brought it near them. He said: What! will you not eat? |
| 51:28 | | So he conceived in his mind a fear on account of them. They said: Fear not. And they gave him the good news of a boy possessing knowledge. |
| 51:29 | | Then his wife came up in great grief, and she struck her face and said: An old barren woman! |
| 51:30 | | They said: Thus says your Lord: Surely He is the Wise, the Knowing. |
| 51:31 | | He said: What is your affair then, O messengers! |
| 51:32 | | They said: Surely we are sent to a guilty people, |
| 51:33 | | That we may send down upon them stone of clay, |
| 51:34 | | Sent forth from your Lord for the extravagant. |
| 51:35 | | Then We brought forth such as were therein of the believers. |
| 51:36 | | But We did not find therein save a (single) house of those who submitted (the Muslims). |
| 51:37 | | And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment. |
| 51:38 | | And in Musa: When We sent him to Firon with clear authority. |
| 51:39 | | But he turned away with his forces and said: A magician or a mad man. |
| 51:40 | | So We seized him and his hosts and hurled them into the sea and he was blamable. |
| 51:41 | | And in Ad: When We sent upon them the destructive wind. |
| 51:42 | | It did not leave aught on which it blew, but it made it like ashes. |
| 51:43 | | And in Samood: When it was said to them: Enjoy yourselves for a while. |
| 51:44 | | But they revolted against the commandment of their Lord, so the rumbling overtook them while they saw. |
| 51:45 | | So they were not able to rise up, nor could they defend themselves- |
| 51:46 | | And the people of Nuh before, surely they were a transgressing people. |
| 51:47 | | And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and most surely We are the makers of things ample. |
| 51:48 | | And the earth, We have made it a wide extent; how well have We then spread (it) out. |
| 51:49 | | And of everything We have created pairs that you may be mindful. |
| 51:50 | | Therefore fly to Allah, surely I am a plain warner to you from Him. |
| 51:51 | | And do not set up with Allah another god: surely I am a plain warner to you from Him. |
| 51:52 | | Thus there did not come to those before them a messenger but they said: A magician or a mad man. |
| 51:53 | | Have they charged each other with this? Nay! they are an inordinate people. |
| 51:54 | | Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame; |
| 51:55 | | And continue to remind, for surely the reminder profits the believers. |
| 51:56 | | And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should serve Me. |
| 51:57 | | I do not desire from them any sustenance and I do not desire that they should feed Me. |
| 51:58 | | Surely Allah is the Bestower of sustenance, the Lord of Power, the Strong. |
| 51:59 | | So surely those who are unjust shall have a portion like the portion of their companions, therefore let them not ask Me to hasten on. |
| 51:60 | | Therefore woe to those who disbelieve because of their day which they are threatened with. |
