| 51:1 | | By the scatterers as they scatter |
| 51:2 | | and by those that bear a burden |
| 51:3 | | by those that course with ease |
| 51:4 | | and by those that apportion the Command |
| 51:5 | | verily what you are promised is true |
| 51:6 | | and truly the judgment shall come to pass |
| 51:7 | | By Heaven possessed of paths |
| 51:8 | | truly you are of differing claims |
| 51:9 | | Whosoever has been turned away shall from it be turned away |
| 51:10 | | Perish those who conjecture |
| 51:11 | | Those who blunder along in a stupor |
| 51:12 | | asking, “When is the Day of Judgment? |
| 51:13 | | A day when they are tried upon the Fire |
| 51:14 | | Taste your trial! This is what you sought to hasten |
| 51:15 | | Truly the reverent shall be amidst gardens and springs |
| 51:16 | | partaking of that which their Lord has given them. Truly they were virtuous aforetime |
| 51:17 | | Little of the night did they slumber |
| 51:18 | | and ere dawn would seek forgiveness |
| 51:19 | | And in their wealth was a due for the beggar and the deprived |
| 51:20 | | Upon the earth are signs for those possessing certainty |
| 51:21 | | and within your souls. Do you not then behold |
| 51:22 | | And in Heaven is your provision and that which you were promised |
| 51:23 | | So by the Lord of Heaven and earth, it is indeed true—as it is that you are endowed with speech |
| 51:24 | | Hast thou heard tell of Abraham’s honored guests |
| 51:25 | | when they entered upon him and said, “Peace!” he said, “Peace—an unfamiliar folk. |
| 51:26 | | Then he went quietly to his family and came with a fattened calf |
| 51:27 | | He placed it close to them, saying, “Will you not eat? |
| 51:28 | | Then he conceived a fear of them. They said, “Fear not!” and gave him glad tidings of a knowing son |
| 51:29 | | Then his wife came forward with a loud cry; she struck her face and said, “A barren old woman! |
| 51:30 | | They said, “Thus has thy Lord decreed. Truly He is the Wise, the Knowing. |
| 51:31 | | He said, “What is your errand, O messengers? |
| 51:32 | | They said, “We have been sent unto a guilty people |
| 51:33 | | to send upon them stones of cla |
| 51:34 | | marked by thy Lord for the prodigal. |
| 51:35 | | So We brought forth those among them who were believers |
| 51:36 | | yet We did not find therein but one house of submitters |
| 51:37 | | And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment |
| 51:38 | | And in Moses [We left a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with a manifest authority |
| 51:39 | | But he turned away with his court and said, “A sorcerer or one possessed. |
| 51:40 | | So We seized him and his hosts and cast them into the sea, for he was blameworthy |
| 51:41 | | And in ?Ad [We left a sign], when We sent upon them the barren wind |
| 51:42 | | Naught did it leave that it came upon, but that it made it as bones decayed |
| 51:43 | | And in Thamud [We left a sign], when it was said unto them, “Enjoy yourselves for a time. |
| 51:44 | | Then they insolently defied the Command of their Lord, and the thunderbolt seized them as they looked on |
| 51:45 | | So they were not able to rise; nor could they help one another |
| 51:46 | | As for the people of Noah before, truly they were an iniquitous people |
| 51:47 | | And the sky We established with might; truly We make vast |
| 51:48 | | And the earth We laid out—what excellent spreaders |
| 51:49 | | And of all things We created pairs, that haply you may remember |
| 51:50 | | So flee unto God. Truly I am a clear warner unto you from Him |
| 51:51 | | And do not set up another god along with God. Truly I am a clear warner unto you from Him |
| 51:52 | | Likewise, there came no messenger unto those before them, but that they said, “A sorcerer or one possessed. |
| 51:53 | | Do they exhort one another to it? Nay, they are a rebellious people |
| 51:54 | | So turn away from them, for thou shalt not be blamed |
| 51:55 | | And remind, for truly the Reminder benefits the believers |
| 51:56 | | I did not create jinn and mankind, save to worship Me |
| 51:57 | | I desire no provision from them; nor do I desire that they should feed Me |
| 51:58 | | Truly God is the Provider, the Possessor of Strength, the Firm |
| 51:59 | | And surely for those who do wrong are sins like unto the sins of their companions; so let them not seek to hasten |
| 51:60 | | Woe unto those who disbelieve on account of the Day that they are promised |
