| | Syed Vickar Ahamed rendition of Surah The Winnowing Winds, The Scatterers(adh-Dhariyat)
--- |
|---|
| 51:1 | | By (the winds) that scatter (around) the dust |
| 51:2 | | And those (winds) that lift and carry away heavy weights |
| 51:3 | | And those that flow with ease, (joy) and gentleness |
| 51:4 | | And those that distribute and rearrange by (His) Order&mdash |
| 51:5 | | Surely, that which you have been promised is indeed true |
| 51:6 | | And surely, Judgment and Recompense must indeed become established |
| 51:7 | | By the sky with (its) numerous paths (through it) |
| 51:8 | | Truly, you are in a disagreeing opinion (about Faith and Islam |
| 51:9 | | Through (such opinions) which (people are) misled (away from the Truth) such as those who would be misled |
| 51:10 | | Misery to the liars and falsehood-mongers&mdash |
| 51:11 | | Those who (are) carelessly (blundering) in a state of confusion (about the Faith of Islam) |
| 51:12 | | They ask: "When will be the Day of Judgment and Recompense?" |
| 51:13 | | (It will be) a Day when they will be tried (and burned) over the Fire |
| 51:14 | | "Taste you your trial! This is what you asked to be hastened!" |
| 51:15 | | Verily, as to the righteous (with firm Faith), they will be within the Gardens and Springs |
| 51:16 | | Taking joy in the things that their Lord has given them, verily, they were the doers of good deeds |
| 51:17 | | They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night |
| 51:18 | | And in the hours of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness |
| 51:19 | | And in their wealth and possessions (were remembered) the right of the (needy) he who asked and he who was prevented (from asking) |
| 51:20 | | On the earth are Signs for those with certainty in Faith |
| 51:21 | | As also in your selves: Will you not then see |
| 51:22 | | And in the heavens is (beautiful) provision, and (all) that which (you) are promised |
| 51:23 | | Then by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that you can speak intelligently to each other |
| 51:24 | | Has the story of the honored guests (three angels) of Ibrahim (Abraham) reached you |
| 51:25 | | When they entered his presence, and said: “Peace!” He said, "Peace!" And said: "You are a people unknown to me." |
| 51:26 | | Then he turned quickly, to his household, brought out a fatted calf |
| 51:27 | | And placed it before them... He said, "Will you not eat?" |
| 51:28 | | (When they did not eat), he became afraid of them. They said, "Fear not," and they gave him glad tidings of a son endowed with knowledge |
| 51:29 | | Then his wife came forward (laughing) aloud: She touched her face (in wonder) and said: "A barren old woman!" |
| 51:30 | | They said, "Even so, your Lord has spoken: Verily, He is All Wise (Hakeem) and All Knowing (Aleem)." |
| 51:31 | | (Ibrahim) said: "Then for what purpose have you have come, O messengers?" |
| 51:32 | | They said, "We have been sent to a people who are criminals in (deep sin)&mdash |
| 51:33 | | "To bring on, on them, (a shower of) stones of clay (brimstones) |
| 51:34 | | "Marked as from the Lord for those who trespass beyond bounds." |
| 51:35 | | Then We safely removed those of the believers who were there |
| 51:36 | | But We did not find there any just (believing) persons except in one house |
| 51:37 | | And We have left there a Sign for those who may fear the painful penalty |
| 51:38 | | And in (Musa was another Sign) when We sent him to Firon (Pharaoh), with clear authorit |
| 51:39 | | But (Firon) turned back with his Chiefs, and said, "An (evil) magician, or a madman!" |
| 51:40 | | So We took him and his forces, and threw them into the sea; And the blame was his |
| 51:41 | | And in the ‘Ad (people, is another Sign): We sent against them the devastating Wind |
| 51:42 | | It left nothing whatever that it came up against. But reduced it to ruin and decay |
| 51:43 | | And in the Samood (Thamud) people (was another sign): They were told, "Enjoy (your brief day) for a little while!" |
| 51:44 | | But they angrily defied the Command of their Lord: So the stunning and destructive noise (of an earthquake) caught them, even while they were looking on |
| 51:45 | | Then they could not even stand (on their feet), nor could they help themselves |
| 51:46 | | So were the people of Nuh (Noah) before them: Verily, they wickedly exceeded all limits |
| 51:47 | | With Power (and Skill) did We construct the (mighty Arch of the) heaven : Verily, We are Who create the vastness of space with it |
| 51:48 | | And We have spread out the (spacious) earth: How excellently We do spread out |
| 51:49 | | And of everything We have created pairs: That you may remember and receive guidance |
| 51:50 | | So hasten you then (at once) to Allah: Verily, from Him, I am a Warner to you, clear and open |
| 51:51 | | And make no other object of worship with (Almighty) Allah: Verily, from Him, I am a Warner to you, clear and open |
| 51:52 | | Like this, no messenger came to the peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, an (evil) magician, or a madman |
| 51:53 | | Is this the teaching they have transmitted, one to another? No! They are themselves a people breaking beyond (their) bounds |
| 51:54 | | So turn away from them: Yours is not the blame |
| 51:55 | | And remind (the message) truly teaching the benefits (of the Quran) to the believers |
| 51:56 | | And I (Allah) have only created jinns' and men, that they may worship (and serve) Me |
| 51:57 | | No sustenance do I require from them, nor do I require that they should feed Me |
| 51:58 | | Verily, Allah is the All Providing (Al-Raziq) of the provision— Lord of Power— Supreme, the Almighty (Al-Matin)&mdash |
| 51:59 | | And verily, for the wrongdoers, their portion (of punishment) is like the portion of their fellows (of earlier generations): Then let them not ask Me to hasten (that portion) |
| 51:60 | | Misery, then, to the unbelievers, on account of that Day of theirs which they have been promised |
