51:1
By the Winnowing [Winds]
51:2
and those bearing a burden
51:3
and the ones blowing gently
51:4
and those delivering a command,
51:5
whatever you are promised is certain!
51:6
Doom is about to occur!
51:7
By the sky full of orbits,
51:8
you (all) have different ways of saying things,
51:9
to brush off anyone who may be brushed off.
51:10
Damned will be guessers
51:11
who are dazed with excitement.
51:12
They ask: "When will Doomsday be?"
51:13
Some day they will be tested over the Fire:
51:14
Taste your test! This is what you wanted to hurry up.
51:15
The heedful will be in gardens and by springs
51:16
partaking of whatever their Lord has given them. They had acted kindly even before that;
51:17
they used to slumber only a portion of the night
51:18
while in vigils towards dawning they sought forgiveness.
51:19
The beggar and the destitute had some right to their wealth.
51:20
On earth there are signs for the convinced,
51:21
and even within yourselves; do you not notice them?
51:22
In the sky is your sustenance and whatever you are promised;
51:23
so by the Lord of Heaven and Earth, it is the Truth just the same as you have been uttering!
51:24
Has the report of Abraham´s honored guests ever come to you,
51:25
when they entered his home and said: "Peace [be upon you]!"? He said: "[On you be] peace!" [even though] they were people he did not know.
51:26
So he slipped off to his family and fetched a fattened calf,
51:27
and brought it up to them. He said: "Will you not eat?"
51:28
He felt a fear concerning them. They said: "Don´t be afraid," and gave him the news of a clever lad.
51:29
His wife came up sighing, and struck her face and said: "[I´m] a barren old hag!"
51:30
They said: "Even so did your Lord say. He is the Wise, the Aware!
51:31
He said: "Yet what is your errand, 0 emissaries?"
51:32
They said: "We have been sent to a criminal folk,
51:33
to launch clay pellets on them
51:34
marked by your Lord for the dissipated."
51:35
So We brought out anyone there who were believers,
51:36
though We found only one house with Muslims in it.
51:37
We left a sign there for those who fear painful torment.
51:38
And with Moses when We sent him off with clear authority to Pharaoh,
51:39
who turned away with his warlords and said: "[He´s either] a magician or a madman!"
51:40
We seized him and his troops and hurled them into the deep while he was to blame.
51:41
And with Ad, when We loosed a devastating wind on them:
51:42
it left nothing that it chanced upon without turning it into rubble.
51:43
And with Thamud when someone told them: "Enjoy things for a while!"
51:44
They strutted around against their Lord´s command, as the Thunderbolt caught them while they were looking on.
51:45
They were unable to withstand it nor were they supported.
51:46
And Noah´s people had already been such immoral folk.
51:47
The sky We have built firmly and We are extending it.
51:48
The earth have We spread out; how Blissful is the One Who has smoothed it off!
51:49
With everything We have created pairs so that you may be reminded;
51:50
so flee to God: "I am a plain warner to you from Him!
51:51
"Do not place any other deity alongside God [Alone]: I am a plain warner to you from Him.
51:52
Thus no messenger ever came to those who preceded them unless they said: ´[He´s] a magician or a madman!´
51:53
Do they recommend it to one another? Yet they are such arrogant folk.
51:54
Turn away from them; you are not to blame!
51:55
Remind, for reminding benefits believers."
51:56
I have only created sprites and men so they may worship Me;
51:57
I do not want any sustenance from them nor do I need them to feed me.
51:58
God is the Provider, wielding sturdy strength.
51:59
The ones who do wrong have offences just like their companions´ offences, so do not let them ask Me to hurry things up.
51:60
It will be too bad for those who disbelieve on their day which has been promised them!
