| | Muhammad Taqi Usmani rendition of Surah The Winnowing Winds, The Scatterers(adh-Dhariyat)
--- |
|---|
| 51:1 | | By those (winds) that scatter dust, |
| 51:2 | | then those that bear load (of clouds), |
| 51:3 | | then those that float with ease, |
| 51:4 | | then those who distribute things, |
| 51:5 | | whatever you are being promised is surely true, |
| 51:6 | | and Recompense (of deeds) is sure to happen. |
| 51:7 | | By the sky, having paths, |
| 51:8 | | you are (involved) in a contradictory discussion. |
| 51:9 | | Turned away from this (Qur‘an) is the one who is turned away (totally from the truth.) |
| 51:10 | | Death upon those who make conjectures (against the true faith), |
| 51:11 | | __ those who are drowned in ignorance, forgetful! |
| 51:12 | | They ask, .When shall be the Day of Recompense?. |
| 51:13 | | (It will be) the Day when they will be heated on the Fire, |
| 51:14 | | (and it will be said to them,) .Taste (the punishment of) your mischief. This is what you have been asking to be brought sooner. |
| 51:15 | | The God-fearing (on the other hand) will be in gardens and springs, |
| 51:16 | | receiving what their Lord will have given to them. Indeed, prior to this, they were good in their deeds. |
| 51:17 | | They used to sleep little in the night; |
| 51:18 | | and in the hours before dawn they used to pray for forgiveness, |
| 51:19 | | and in their wealth, there was a right for one who asks and for one who is deprived. |
| 51:20 | | In the earth, there are signs for those who (seek truth to) believe, |
| 51:21 | | and in your own selves! So, do you not perceive? |
| 51:22 | | And in the heavens, there is your sustenance and all that you have been promised. |
| 51:23 | | So, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it (the Day of Recompense) is a reality, as sure as the fact that you (can) speak. |
| 51:24 | | Has there come to you the story of the honoured guests of Ibrahim? |
| 51:25 | | When they (the angels in human form) entered unto him and said, .We greet you with Salam . He said, .Salam on you. (And he said to himself,) .(They are) unknown people. |
| 51:26 | | Then he slipped off to his home and fetched a fattened calf. |
| 51:27 | | So he presented it before them (to eat, but being angels, they refrained.) He said, .Would you not eat?. |
| 51:28 | | So he felt some fear in his heart. They said, .Be not scared. And they gave him the good news of (the birth of) a knowledgeable boy. |
| 51:29 | | So his wife came forward with a clamor, and slapped her own face and said, .(How can I have a child when I am) a barren old woman?. |
| 51:30 | | They said, .This is how your Lord has said. Surely, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. |
| 51:31 | | He (Ibrahim) said (to the angels), .Then, what is your mission O messengers?. |
| 51:32 | | They said, .We are sent to a guilty people, (i.e. the people of Sodom) |
| 51:33 | | so that we may send down upon them stones of clay, |
| 51:34 | | marked by your Lord for the transgressors. |
| 51:35 | | So, We let the believers who were there to come out (from danger), |
| 51:36 | | but We did not find in it any Muslims, except one house. |
| 51:37 | | And We left in this (event) a sign (of deterrence) for those who fear the painful punishment. |
| 51:38 | | And (We left a similar sign) in (the story of) Musa, when We sent him to Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) with a clear proof. |
| 51:39 | | So he turned away along with his chiefs and said, . (Musa is) a magician or a madman!. |
| 51:40 | | So We seized him and his army, and cast them into the sea, as he was of culpable behaviour. |
| 51:41 | | And (a similar sign was left) in (the story of) ‘Ad, when We sent upon them the wind that was barren (from any benefit); |
| 51:42 | | it spared nothing it came upon, but rendered it like a stuff smashed by decay. |
| 51:43 | | And (a similar sign was left) in (the story of) Thamud, when it was said to them, .Enjoy yourselves for a while. |
| 51:44 | | Then they rebelled against the command of your Lord; so the thunderbolt (of divine punishment) seized them, while they were looking on. |
| 51:45 | | Then they were neither able to stand (before the punishment), nor could they defend themselves. |
| 51:46 | | And (We have destroyed) the people of NuH even before; indeed they were a sinful people. |
| 51:47 | | And the sky was built by Us with might; and indeed We are the expanders. |
| 51:48 | | And the earth was spread out by Us as a floor; so how well have We spread it out! |
| 51:49 | | And from every thing We have created pairs of twos, so that you may heed. |
| 51:50 | | So, flee to Allah. Indeed I am a plain warner sent by Him for you. |
| 51:51 | | And do not make up any other god along with Allah. Indeed I am a plain warner sent by Him for you. |
| 51:52 | | In similar way, no messenger came to those before them, but they said, .(He is) a magician or a madman. |
| 51:53 | | Have they handed down (this saying) to each other as a legacy? Rather they are a rebellious people. |
| 51:54 | | So, turn away from them, for you are not blamed. |
| 51:55 | | And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers. |
| 51:56 | | I did not create the Jinns and the human beings except for the purpose that they should worship Me. |
| 51:57 | | I do not want any sustenance from them, nor do I want them to feed Me. |
| 51:58 | | In fact, Allah is the All-Sustainer, Possessor of power, the Strong. |
| 51:59 | | So, those who did wrong will have their turn like the turn of their counterparts. So, they should not ask Me to hasten on. |
| 51:60 | | Woe, then, to those who disbelieve because of the Day of theirs that they are promised (for punishment). |
