| | Muhammad Sarwar rendition of Surah The Winnowing Winds, The Scatterers(adh-Dhariyat)
--- |
|---|
| 51:1 | | By the winds which carry dust particles |
| 51:2 | | by the clouds which are heavily loaded with water |
| 51:3 | | by the ships which smoothly sail on the oceans |
| 51:4 | | by the angels which distribute the affairs |
| 51:5 | | that what you are promised is certainly tru |
| 51:6 | | and the Day of Judgment will inevitably take place |
| 51:7 | | By the beautiful heavens |
| 51:8 | | your ideas are confused |
| 51:9 | | Let whoever wishes, turn away from Our Quran |
| 51:10 | | Death to those whose opinions are merely baseless conjectures |
| 51:11 | | and who wander in the abyss of confusion |
| 51:12 | | They ask, "When it will be the Day of Judgment?" |
| 51:13 | | On the Day of Judgment they will be punished by the fir |
| 51:14 | | and will be told, "Suffer the torment which you wanted to experience immediately" |
| 51:15 | | The pious ones will live amidst gardens and springs |
| 51:16 | | receiving their reward from their Lord. They had been righteous people before the Day of Judgment |
| 51:17 | | They slept very little during the nigh |
| 51:18 | | and asked for forgiveness in the early morning |
| 51:19 | | They assigned a share of their property for the needy and the destitute |
| 51:20 | | In the earth there is evidence (of the Truth) for those who have strong faith |
| 51:21 | | There is also evidence of the Truth within your own selves. Will you then not see |
| 51:22 | | In the heavens there is your sustenance and that which you were promised (Paradise) |
| 51:23 | | This, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth is as certain as your ability to speak |
| 51:24 | | Have you heard the story of the honorable guests of Abraham |
| 51:25 | | When they came to him saying, "Peace be with you," he replied to their greeting in the same manner and said to himself, "These are a strange people" |
| 51:26 | | He went quietly to his wife and returned to his guests with a fat, roasted calf |
| 51:27 | | He placed it before them. Then he said, "Why are you not eating?" |
| 51:28 | | He began to feel afraid. They said, "Do not be afraid," and then gave him the glad news of the birth of a knowledgeable son |
| 51:29 | | His wife came forward, crying and beating her face, saying, "I am an old barren woman!" |
| 51:30 | | They said, "This is true but your Lord has said, (that you will have a son); He is All-wise and All-knowing" |
| 51:31 | | Abraham asked, "Messengers, what is your task?" |
| 51:32 | | They replied, "We have been sent to a sinful peopl |
| 51:33 | | to bring down upon them showers of marked lumps of clayy |
| 51:34 | | They are transgressors in the presence of your Lord" |
| 51:35 | | We saved the believers among them |
| 51:36 | | but We found only one Muslim house |
| 51:37 | | We left therein evidence for those who fear the painful torment |
| 51:38 | | There is also evidence (of the Truth) in the story of Moses when We sent him to the Pharaoh with clear authority |
| 51:39 | | The Pharaoh and his forces turned away from him, saying, "He is either a magician or an insane person" |
| 51:40 | | We seized him and his army and threw them into the sea. He himself was to be blamed |
| 51:41 | | There is also evidence of the Truth in the story of Ad whom We struck with a violent win |
| 51:42 | | which turned everything it approached into dust |
| 51:43 | | There is also evidence (of the Truth) in the story of the Thamud, who were told to enjoy themselves for an appointed time |
| 51:44 | | They transgressed against the command of their Lord. So a blast of sound struck them and they were unable to do anything but stare |
| 51:45 | | They were unable to stand up, nor were they helped |
| 51:46 | | The people of Noah who lived before them were also evil doing people |
| 51:47 | | We have made the heavens with Our own hands and We expanded it |
| 51:48 | | We have spread out the earth and how brilliantly it is spread |
| 51:49 | | We have created everything in pairs so that perhaps you may take heed |
| 51:50 | | (Muhammad), tell them,"Seek refuge in God. I have been sent from Him to plainly warn you |
| 51:51 | | Do not choose other gods besides Him. I have been sent from Him to plainly warn you" |
| 51:52 | | In the same way no Messenger came to those who lived before them without his people calling him a magician or an insane person |
| 51:53 | | Have they inherited such dealings with the Prophets from their predecessors or are they a rebellious people |
| 51:54 | | (Muhammad), leave them alone and you will not be blamed |
| 51:55 | | Keep on reminding them. This benefits the believers |
| 51:56 | | We have created jinn and human beings only that they might worship Me |
| 51:57 | | I do not expect to receive any sustenance from them or that they should feed Me |
| 51:58 | | It is God Who is the Sustainer and the Lord of invincible strength |
| 51:59 | | The unjust will bear a burden like that of their unjust predecessors. Let them not make Me bring immediate punishment upon them |
| 51:60 | | Woe to the disbelievers when the day with which they have been threatened comes |
