| | Abdul Hye rendition of Surah The Winnowing Winds, The Scatterers(adh-Dhariyat)
--- |
|---|
| 51:1 | | By (the winds) that scatter dust |
| 51:2 | | and (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water; |
| 51:3 | | and (the ships) that float with ease and gentleness; |
| 51:4 | | and those (angels) that distribute command (of Allah); |
| 51:5 | | surely that which you are Promised is true; |
| 51:6 | | and surely, the recompense is sure to happen. |
| 51:7 | | By the sky full of orbits, |
| 51:8 | | certainly, you have different ideas, |
| 51:9 | | turn aside from (Muhammad and the Qur’an) is the one who is turned aside. |
| 51:10 | | Curse be to the liars, |
| 51:11 | | who are under a cover of heedlessness (don’t think about the Hereafter). |
| 51:12 | | They ask: “When will be the Day of recompense?” |
| 51:13 | | (It will be) a Day when they will be punished over the fire, |
| 51:14 | | (it will be said): “You taste your trial (burning)! This is what you used to ask to be hastened!” |
| 51:15 | | Surely, the pious will be in the midst of gardens and springs (in Paradise), |
| 51:16 | | taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Surely, they were before this (in the world) righteous people. |
| 51:17 | | They used to sleep but little by the night, |
| 51:18 | | and ask (Allah) for forgiveness in the Hours before dawn, |
| 51:19 | | and share their properties with the needy (who asked) for it, and the deprived (who did not ask). |
| 51:20 | | And in the earth, there are signs for those who have firm faith, |
| 51:21 | | and also in your own selves. Can you not then see? |
| 51:22 | | And in the heaven is your provision, and all that which you are Promised. |
| 51:23 | | Then by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, surely it is the truth just as what you speak! |
| 51:24 | | Has the story of the honored guests (angel Gabriel with 2 more angels) of Abraham reached you? |
| 51:25 | | When they came to him, and said: “Peace be upon you!” He answered: “Peace be upon you,” and said: “You are people unknown to me,” |
| 51:26 | | then he turned to his family, brought out a fat roasted calf |
| 51:27 | | and he put it before them (saying): “Will you not eat?” |
| 51:28 | | (When they did not eat), he became afraid of them. They said: “Don’t fear.” They gave him glad tidings of an intelligent son. |
| 51:29 | | Then his wife came forward with a loud voice, she strikes her face and said: “(A son to) a barren old woman!” |
| 51:30 | | They said: “Even so says your Lord. Surely, He is the All-Wise, the All-Knower.” |
| 51:31 | | He (Abraham) said: “For what purpose you have come, O Messengers?” |
| 51:32 | | They said: “We have been sent to a criminal people (of prophet Lot, who were homosexuals) |
| 51:33 | | to send down upon them stones of baked clay, |
| 51:34 | | marked by your Lord for those who transgress Allah’s limits.” |
| 51:35 | | So We brought out all those who were believers in the town, |
| 51:36 | | but We found none in it except one household of the Muslims (Lot and his 2 daughters) |
| 51:37 | | and We left in it a sign (the Dead Sea in Palestine) for those who fear the painful punishment. |
| 51:38 | | And (There is sign in the story) of Moses, when We sent him to Pharaoh with a clear authority, |
| 51:39 | | but he (Pharaoh) turned away (from belief) with his hosts and said: “A sorcerer, or a madman.” |
| 51:40 | | So, We took him and his hosts, and dumped them into the sea. Indeed he deserved to be blamed. |
| 51:41 | | (There is sign in the story) of Ad, when We sent against them the barren wind, |
| 51:42 | | which spared nothing that it reached and it blew on like something rotten (decayed). |
| 51:43 | | And (there is sign in the story) of Thamud, when it was said to them: “Enjoy yourselves for a while (3 days),” |
| 51:44 | | but they disobeyed the command of their Lord with arrogance; so the awful cry overtook them while they were looking. |
| 51:45 | | So neither they were able to rise up nor could they help themselves. |
| 51:46 | | (Allah destroyed) the people of Noah before them. Surely, they were people who were rebellious, disobedient (to Allah). |
| 51:47 | | Allah has built the heaven with power. Surely, We are Able to extend the vastness of space in it. |
| 51:48 | | And We have spread out the earth, how Excellent Spreader are We! |
| 51:49 | | We have created everything in pairs, so that you may remember (Allah). |
| 51:50 | | (Say to mankind, O Muhammad):“Rush towards Allah, surely, I (Muhammad) am from Him a plain Warner to you. |
| 51:51 | | And don’t set up any other one worthy of worship with Allah. Surely, I (Muhammad) am from Him a plain Warner to you.” |
| 51:52 | | Likewise, whenever a Messenger came to those before them, they said: “A sorcerer or a madman!” |
| 51:53 | | Have they (past people) transmitted this saying (to these pagans)? Nay, but they are a people transgressing beyond bounds! |
| 51:54 | | So, turn away (O Muhammad) from them (pagans), you are not to be blamed (you have conveyed message). |
| 51:55 | | And remind (by preaching the Qur’an, O Muhammad), for surely, the reminding benefits the believers. |
| 51:56 | | I have not created the jinns and mankind except to worship Me (alone). |
| 51:57 | | I don’t want any provision from them nor do I want that they feed Me. |
| 51:58 | | Surely, Allah is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Strong. |
| 51:59 | | And surely, for those who do wrong, there is a portion of punishment similar to the portion of the punishment of their friends (predecessors), so ask Me not to hasten on! |
| 51:60 | | Then, woe to those who disbelieve from their Day which they have been promised (for punishment). |
