--- |
|---|
| 51:1 | | By the scattering [winds] that scatter [dust particles |
| 51:2 | | Then bear a load [of tiny water globues condensing around the dust particles |
| 51:3 | | Then sail smoothly alon |
| 51:4 | | And then execute given task of apportioning [rainfall] |
| 51:5 | | What you are being promised is certainy indeed true |
| 51:6 | | And the Judgement Day shall certainly indeed happen |
| 51:7 | | By the heaven full of perfectly defined pathways |
| 51:8 | | You do certainly indeed differ in what you say [about the Qur'aan] |
| 51:9 | | Those are deluded from it [Qur'aan] who are deluded from the Truth |
| 51:10 | | Doomed are those who just guess |
| 51:11 | | Those that are submerged in carelessness about Truth and Reaity |
| 51:12 | | They ask, "When will the Judgement Day be?" |
| 51:13 | | It will be the Day when they shall be made to suffer on the Fire |
| 51:14 | | "Taste the suffering you deserve! This is what you had sought to hasten." |
| 51:15 | | The pious and Allah-fearing shall indeed be in the midst of gardens and fountains |
| 51:16 | | They accept what their Lord gives them. They did indeed do good work before (in the life of the world. |
| 51:17 | | They slept but little at nigh |
| 51:18 | | And they asked for forgiveness in the wee hours before dawn |
| 51:19 | | And they considered it their duty to keep something aside in their property for the needy and the destitute |
| 51:20 | | And in the earth are there many signs for those who are certain in their belie |
| 51:21 | | And in your own persons too! Do you not see?h |
| 51:22 | | And in the heaven is your provision and also what you are being promised |
| 51:23 | | By the Lord of the heaven and the earth, then, this is indeed true, as true as the fact of your speaking |
| 51:24 | | Has the story of Abrahamճ honoured guests reached you, (O Prophet) |
| 51:25 | | On coming to him, they said: "Peace!" He said, "Peace, strangers!" |
| 51:26 | | Then slipping away from them to his family, he brought a fat calf [to feast his stranger guests therewith. |
| 51:27 | | And he laid it before them, saying, "Would you not eat it?" |
| 51:28 | | Then he was afraid of them. They said, "Fear not!" And they gave him the good news of a son endowed with knowledge |
| 51:29 | | His wife thereupon came forward crying. She struck her face and exclaimed, "A barren old woman am I!" |
| 51:30 | | They said, "Your Lord has said so! Indeed He is the One Most Wise, All-Knowing." |
| 51:31 | | Abraham said, "What is your mission then, O Messengers?" |
| 51:32 | | They replied, "We have indeed been sent towards a sinning people." |
| 51:33 | | "To throw stones of clay upon them." |
| 51:34 | | "Targeted with your Lord upon those who go beyond all bounds!" |
| 51:35 | | We then evacuated all of the believers who lived therein |
| 51:36 | | And We did not find therein any Muslims, apart from a single house |
| 51:37 | | And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment. |
| 51:38 | | And in Moses [there is a sign] - when We sent him with a clear authority to Pharaoh |
| 51:39 | | And he [Pharaoh] turned in arrogance on the strength of his support, and he said (to his council of elders), "He is a magician or a madman." |
| 51:40 | | So then We seized him and his troops, and threw them into the sea. And he was to blame [for this fate] |
| 51:41 | | And in Aad [there is a sign] - when We sent upon them a devastating win |
| 51:42 | | [The devastating wind] left nothing that it came upon without making it look like old and rotten bones |
| 51:43 | | And in Thamood [there is a sign] - when they were told, "Enjoy yourselves for a while." |
| 51:44 | | They had behaved insolently towards the Command of their Lord! So then a thunderbolt struck them as they looked on |
| 51:45 | | They could not even stand up or help themselves |
| 51:46 | | And the people of Noah before them all — they were indeed a people immersed in transgression |
| 51:47 | | And the heaven - We made it powerful and We can certainly indeed expand it |
| 51:48 | | And the earth - We prepared its crust, and how well have We prepared it! |
| 51:49 | | And of everything We have created in pairs, so that you ponder over this and remember! |
| 51:50 | | "Flee, therefore, to Allah. I am indeed a plain warner to you from Him." |
| 51:51 | | "And set up no other deity with Allah. I am indeed a plain warner to you from Him." |
| 51:52 | | Never did a Messenger come to those that preceded them but they called him a magician or a mad-man. Likewise |
| 51:53 | | Do they persist with the same [canard]!? Nay, they are a people committing transgression |
| 51:54 | | So turn away from them; you are not to blame |
| 51:55 | | And keep on counselling them; for counselling does indeed benefit the believers |
| 51:56 | | And I created the jinn and the humans for nothing but that they worship Me |
| 51:57 | | I want from them no provision, nor do I want them to feed Me |
| 51:58 | | Indeed, Allah is the One Who provides all sustenance. He is Possessor of power that never fails |
| 51:59 | | And, indeed, the lot of those who do wrong is like the lot of their counterparts (of yore). So let them not hasten Me |
| 51:60 | | Woe, then, to those, who suppress the Truth, during that Day of theirs which they are warned against |
