| 51:1 | | By oath of those which carry away while dispersing |
| 51:2 | | Then by oath of those which carry the burdens |
| 51:3 | | Then by oath of those which move with ease |
| 51:4 | | Then by oath of those which distribute by the command |
| 51:5 | | Undoubtedly, the promise you are given is surely true |
| 51:6 | | And undoubtedly justice will surely be done |
| 51:7 | | And by oath of the decorated heaven |
| 51:8 | | You are indeed in different opinions regarding this Qur’an |
| 51:9 | | Only those who are destined to revert, are reverted from it |
| 51:10 | | Slain be those who mould from their imaginations |
| 51:11 | | Those who have forgotten in a state of intoxication |
| 51:12 | | They ask, “When will be the Day of Judgement?&rdquo |
| 51:13 | | It will be on the day when they will be roasted in the fire |
| 51:14 | | And it will be said to them, “Taste your own roasting; this is what you were impatient for.&rdquo |
| 51:15 | | Indeed the pious are among Gardens and water springs |
| 51:16 | | Accepting the rewards given by their Lord; they were indeed virtuous before this |
| 51:17 | | They used to sleep only a little during the night |
| 51:18 | | And used to seek forgiveness before dawn |
| 51:19 | | And the beggar and the destitute had a share in their wealth |
| 51:20 | | And in the earth are signs for those who are certain |
| 51:21 | | And in your own selves; so can you not perceive |
| 51:22 | | And in the heaven lies your sustenance, and the promise you are given |
| 51:23 | | So by oath of the Lord of the heavens and the earth, this Qur’an is the Truth, in the same language that you speak |
| 51:24 | | Did the news of Ibrahim’s honourable guests reach you (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) |
| 51:25 | | When they came to him and said, “Peace”; he answered, “Peace”; and thought, “These people are not familiar.&rdquo |
| 51:26 | | Then he went to his home - so he brought a healthy calf |
| 51:27 | | He then presented it before them and said, “Do you not eat?&rdquo |
| 51:28 | | He therefore inwardly sensed fear of them; they said, “Do not fear!”; and they gave him the glad tidings of a knowledgeable son |
| 51:29 | | So his wife came screaming, and striking her forehead cried, “What! For a barren old woman?&rdquo |
| 51:30 | | They said, “This is how your Lord has decreed; indeed He only is the Wise, the All Knowing.&rdquo |
| 51:31 | | Said Ibrahim, “What is your task, O the sent angels?&rdquo |
| 51:32 | | They said, “We have been sent towards a guilty nation.&rdquo |
| 51:33 | | “To throw upon them stones of baked clay.&rdquo |
| 51:34 | | “That are kept marked, with your Lord, for the transgressors.&rdquo |
| 51:35 | | So We removed the people who had faith, from that town |
| 51:36 | | We therefore found just one house over there that was Muslim |
| 51:37 | | And We kept a sign remaining in it, for those who fear the painful punishment |
| 51:38 | | And in Moosa, when We sent him with a clear proof towards Firaun |
| 51:39 | | In response, he turned away along with his army and said, “He is a magician or a madman.&rdquo |
| 51:40 | | We therefore seized him and his army and threw them into the sea, while he was blaming himself |
| 51:41 | | And in the tribe of A’ad, when we sent a dry windstorm upon them |
| 51:42 | | It left out nothing in its path, but which it split up into fragments |
| 51:43 | | And in the tribe of Thamud when it was told to them, “Enjoy for a while.&rdquo |
| 51:44 | | In response they rebelled against their Lord’s command, so the thunderbolt seized them whilst they were watching |
| 51:45 | | So they were neither able to stand up, nor were they able to take revenge |
| 51:46 | | And before them, We destroyed the people of Nooh; they were indeed a sinning nation |
| 51:47 | | And We have built the heaven with hands (the Divine Power), and it is We Who give the expanse |
| 51:48 | | And We made the earth a base, so how well do We lay out |
| 51:49 | | And We created all things in pairs, so that you may ponder |
| 51:50 | | “Therefore rush towards Allah; indeed I am from Him, a clear Herald of Warning towards you.&rdquo |
| 51:51 | | “And do not appoint other deities along with Allah; indeed I am from Him, a clear Herald of Warning towards you.&rdquo |
| 51:52 | | Similarly, whenever a Noble Messenger came to those before them they always said, “He is a magician or a madman.&rdquo |
| 51:53 | | What! Have they willed this utterance to one another? In fact they are a rebellious people |
| 51:54 | | Therefore turn away from them (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him), - so there is no blame upon you |
| 51:55 | | And advise, for advice benefits the Muslims |
| 51:56 | | And I created the jinns and men, only for them to worship Me |
| 51:57 | | I do not ask any sustenance from them, nor wish that they give Me food |
| 51:58 | | Indeed it is Allah, Who is the Greatest Sustainer, the Strong, the Able |
| 51:59 | | And indeed for these unjust is also a turn of punishment, like that of their companions - so they must not ask Me to hasten |
| 51:60 | | So ruin is for disbelievers, from their day - which they are promised |
