| | Ali Quli Qara'i rendition of Surah The Winnowing Winds, The Scatterers(adh-Dhariyat)
--- |
|---|
| 51:1 | | By the scattering [winds] that scatter [the clouds]; |
| 51:2 | | by the [rain] bearing [clouds] laden [with water]; |
| 51:3 | | by [the ships] which move gently [on the sea]; |
| 51:4 | | by [the angels] who dispense [livelihood] by [His] command: |
| 51:5 | | indeed what you are promised is true, |
| 51:6 | | and indeed the retribution will surely come to pass! |
| 51:7 | | By the sky full of adornment [with stars], |
| 51:8 | | indeed you are of different opinions! |
| 51:9 | | He is turned away from it who has been turned away [from the truth]. |
| 51:10 | | Perish the liars, |
| 51:11 | | who are heedless in a stupor! |
| 51:12 | | They ask, ‘When will be the Day of Retribution?’ |
| 51:13 | | It is the day when they will be tormented in the Fire, |
| 51:14 | | [and will be told]: ‘Taste your torment. This is what you used to hasten.’ |
| 51:15 | | Indeed the Godwary will be amid gardens and springs, |
| 51:16 | | receiving what their Lord has given them, for they had been virtuous aforetime. |
| 51:17 | | They used to sleep a little during the night, |
| 51:18 | | and at dawns they would plead for forgiveness,. |
| 51:19 | | and there was a share in their wealth for the beggar and the deprived. |
| 51:20 | | In the earth are signs for those who have conviction, |
| 51:21 | | and in your souls [as well]. Will you not then perceive? |
| 51:22 | | And in the sky is your provision and what you are promised. |
| 51:23 | | By the Lord of the sky and the earth, it is indeed the truth, just as [it is a fact that] you speak. |
| 51:24 | | Did you receive the story of Abraham’s honoured guests? |
| 51:25 | | When they entered into his presence, they said, ‘Peace!’ ‘Peace!’ He answered, ‘[You are] an unfamiliar folk.’ |
| 51:26 | | Then he retired to his family and brought a fat [roasted] calf, |
| 51:27 | | and put it near them. He said, ‘Will you not eat?’ |
| 51:28 | | Then he felt a fear of them. They said, ‘Do not be afraid!’ and they gave him the good news of a wise son. |
| 51:29 | | Then his wife came forward crying [with joy]. She beat her face, and said, ‘A barren old woman!’ |
| 51:30 | | They said, ‘So has your Lord said. Indeed He is the All-wise, the All-knowing.’ |
| 51:31 | | He said, ‘O messengers, what is now your errand?’ |
| 51:32 | | They said, ‘We have been sent toward a guilty people, |
| 51:33 | | that We may rain upon them stones of clay, |
| 51:34 | | marked with your Lord for the profligate. |
| 51:35 | | So We picked out those who were in it of the faithful, |
| 51:36 | | but We did not find there other than one house of muslims, |
| 51:37 | | and We have left therein a sign for those who fear a painful punishment.’ |
| 51:38 | | And in Moses [too there is a sign] when We sent him to Pharaoh with a manifest authority. |
| 51:39 | | But he turned away assured of his might, and said, ‘A magician or a crazy man!’ |
| 51:40 | | So We seized him and his hosts, and cast them into the sea, while he was blameworthy. |
| 51:41 | | And in ‘a€d when We unleashed upon them a barren wind. |
| 51:42 | | It left nothing that it came upon without making it like decayed bones. |
| 51:43 | | And in Thamud, when they were told, ‘Enjoy for a while.’ |
| 51:44 | | Then they defied the command of their Lord; so the thunderbolt seized them as they looked on. |
| 51:45 | | So they were neither able to rise up, nor to come to one another’s aid. |
| 51:46 | | And the people of Noah aforetime. Indeed they were a transgressing lot. |
| 51:47 | | We have built the sky with might, and indeed it is We who are its expanders. |
| 51:48 | | And the earth We have spread it out, so how excellent spreaders We have been! |
| 51:49 | | In all things We have created pairs so that you may take admonition. |
| 51:50 | | [Say,] ‘So flee toward Allah. Indeed I am a manifest warner to you from Him. |
| 51:51 | | Do not set up another god besides Allah. Indeed I am a manifest warner to you from Him.’ |
| 51:52 | | So it was that there did not come to those who were before them any apostle but they said, ‘A magician,’ or ‘A crazy man!’ |
| 51:53 | | Did they enjoin this upon one another?! Rather they were a rebellious lot. |
| 51:54 | | So turn away from them, for you will not be blameworthy. |
| 51:55 | | And admonish, for admonition indeed benefits the faithful. |
| 51:56 | | I did not create the jinn and the humans except that they may worship Me. |
| 51:57 | | I desire no provision from them, nor do I desire that they should feed Me. |
| 51:58 | | Indeed it is Allah who is the All-provider, Powerful, All-strong. |
| 51:59 | | Indeed the lot of those who do wrong [now] will be like the lot of their [earlier] counterparts. So let them not ask Me to hasten on [that fate]. |
| 51:60 | | Woe to the faithless for the day they are promised! |
