| | Mir Aneesuddin rendition of Surah The Winnowing Winds, The Scatterers(adh-Dhariyat)
--- |

| 51:1 | | By the scatterers, scattering, |
| 51:2 | | then those bearing heaviness, |
| 51:3 | | then those moving easily, |
| 51:4 | | then those distributing the affair (or command) , |
| 51:5 | | that which you are promised is certainly true, |
| 51:6 | | and the judgment will certainly take place. |
| 51:7 | | By the sky possessing ways, |
| 51:8 | | you are certainly differing in word (opinions). |
| 51:9 | | He is turned away from the (truth), who (himself) turns away. |
| 51:10 | | Slain be the liars, |
| 51:11 | | those who are heedless in ignorance. |
| 51:12 | | They ask, “When is the day of judgment?” |
| 51:13 | | The day on which they will be punished over the fire, |
| 51:14 | | (it will be said), "Taste your punishment, this is what you sought to be hastened." |
| 51:15 | | Those who had guarded (against evil) will certainly be in gardens and springs, |
| 51:16 | | taking that which their Fosterer gives them. Before that they certainly used to be doers of good. |
| 51:17 | | It was (only) a small (part) of the night (during) which they used to sleep, |
| 51:18 | | and they used to ask for protective forgiveness at dawns, |
| 51:19 | | and in their wealth there was a right (i.e. a portion) for him who begged and for him who was prevented (from begging). |
| 51:20 | | And in the earth there are signs for those who are certain, |
| 51:21 | | and in yourselves (too). Will you not then see? |
| 51:22 | | And in the sky is your provision and that which you are promised. |
| 51:23 | | So by the Fosterer of the sky and the earth, it is certainly a truth similar (to the truth) that you speak. |
| 51:24 | | Has the story of the honoured guests of Ibrahim come to you? |
| 51:25 | | When they entered upon him then said, “Peace.” He said, “Peace, people not recognisable.” |
| 51:26 | | Then he went towards his people and brought a (roasted) fat calf, |
| 51:27 | | and set it near them (and) said, “Will you not eat?” |
| 51:28 | | So he conceived a fear due to them. They said, “Do not fear,” and they gave him the good news of (the birth of) a boy possessing knowledge. |
| 51:29 | | At (this news) his wife came forward in (a state of wonder), shouting and striking her face, and said, “(How can I have a child when I am) a barren old woman?” |
| 51:30 | | They said, “Thus (it will be), says your Fosterer. He is certainly the Wise, the Knowing.” |
| 51:31 | | He said, “Then what is your affair (for which you have been sent) O you messengers?” |
| 51:32 | | They said, “We are sent to a criminal people |
| 51:33 | | that we may send upon them (porous) stones of clay, |
| 51:34 | | marked from your Fosterer for (the punishment of) the extravagant.” |
| 51:35 | | Then We brought out those who believed from among them, |
| 51:36 | | but We did not find therein any Muslims except (in) one house. |
| 51:37 | | And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment. |
| 51:38 | | And in Musa (there is a sign) when We sent him to Firawn with clear authority. |
| 51:39 | | But he turned away with his force and said, “A magician or one influenced by the jinn.” |
| 51:40 | | So We caught him and his army and threw them into (the flowing water of) the sea and he was blameworthy. |
| 51:41 | | And in Aad (there is a sign) when We sent on them the barren wind (for their destruction). |
| 51:42 | | It did not leave anything with which it came (in contact) without making it as if decomposed. |
| 51:43 | | And in Samood (there is a sign) when it was said to them, “Enjoy till a (set) time.” |
| 51:44 | | But they revolted against the command of their Fosterer, so the thunderbolt took hold of them while they were seeing. |
| 51:45 | | So they were not able to stand nor were they able to defend themselves. |
| 51:46 | | And the people of Nuh earlier (to them), they (too) were a transgressing people. |
| 51:47 | | And the sky, We constructed it with energy, and We are the Expanders (of it)*. * See notes under Ch. 21, Vs. 30 & 104 |
| 51:48 | | And the earth, We have spread it. How Excellent are We in making it habitable! |
| 51:49 | | And of everything We have created pairs that you may be mindful. |
| 51:50 | | So you all run towards Allah, I am a clear warner for you from Him. |
| 51:51 | | And do not set up another god with Allah, I am a clear warner for you from Him. |
| 51:52 | | Thus, there did not come to those before them any messenger but they said, “A magician or one influenced by jinn.” |
| 51:53 | | Do they recommend this to one another? No, they are a rebellious people. |
| 51:54 | | So turn away from them, because you are not blameworthy. |
| 51:55 | | And be reminding, because reminding certainly benefits the believers. |
| 51:56 | | And I did not create the jinn and mankind but (with the sole purpose) that they should serve Me. |
| 51:57 | | 1 do not intend (to get) any provision from them nor do I intend that they should feed Me. |
| 51:58 | | Allah is certainly the Provider, Possessor of power, the Strong. |
| 51:59 | | So for those who are unjust, (their) portion will certainly be like the portion of their companions, so do not let them ask Me to hasten on (the punishment). |
| 51:60 | | So sorrowful is the state of those who do not believe because of their day which they are threatened with. |
