51:1  By the gale-force winds that scatter dust;

51:2  by the winds that carry heavily-laden clouds;

51:3  by the winds that sail ships with ease;

51:4  by the winds that distribute rain as commanded;

51:5  no doubt, what you have been promised is true;

51:6  the Day of Judgement will certainly come.

51:7  By the sky with its paths.

51:8  You have different views about this Quran.

51:9  Those who turn away from the Quran are deceived.

51:10  The liars are ruined,

51:11  who are numb and unaware of reality.

51:12  They ask, “When will the Judgement Day come?”

51:13  That Day they shall be punished with Fire.

51:14  “Taste your punishment; this is what you were so impatient for.”

51:15  The mindful will be in Gardens with flowing fountains;

51:16  they will take what their Lord gives them. In the world, they were gracious;

51:17  they slept little at night,

51:18  and at dawn sought Allah’s forgiveness.

51:19  They set aside a share in their wealth for beggars, and the needy.

51:20  And for those who believe firmly there are signs in the Earth

51:21  and in themselves. Don’t you see?

51:22  And in the sky is your promised sustenance.

51:23  By the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth, this is as true as what you speak

51:24  Did you hear the story of Ibrahim’s honourable guests?

51:25  They came and said, “Peace;” he replied, “Peace.” He thought, “these are strangers.”

51:26  He quietly slipped away to his family and brought a roasted fat calf

51:27  which he placed before them, and said, “Won’t you eat?”

51:28  He felt afraid of them, and they replied, “Don’t be afraid.” They gave him good news of a knowledgeable son.

51:29  His wife stepped forward and struck her face at this news, she was amazed and said, “Who me? A barren old woman!”

51:30  They said, “That’s how your Lord has decreed. Indeed, He is Wise, the Knower.

51:31  Ibrahim asked, “What’s the purpose of your coming, messengers?”

51:32  They replied, “We’ve been sent to the wicked people,

51:33  to pelt them with clay stones

51:34  marked by your Lord for those who’ve gone beyond limits.”

51:35  We rescued the believers from there;

51:36  We only found a single household of believers.

51:37  And We left behind a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

51:38  Also in the story of Musa is a sign, when We sent him with a clear authority to Pharaoh.

51:39  He turned away because of his military might and said, “Musa is a magician or a madman.”

51:40  So We seized him and his army and threw them into the sea; he was guilty.

51:41  And in the story of Ad is a lesson too, when we sent devastating wind upon them.

51:42  In its wake it left behind everything crushed and torn up

51:43  And in the story of Thamud when it was said to them: “Enjoy yourselves for a while.

51:44  They disobeyed the Lord’s command, so were seized by a blast as they watched.

51:45  Neither could they bear the punishment nor defend themselves against Us.

51:46  The people of Nuh before them faced a similar fate. They too were sinners

51:47  We built the universe with our creative power and We are ever expanding it.

51:48  And the Earth We spread out and levelled it smoothly.

51:49  We created everything in pairs so that you may reflect.

51:50  So come to Allah quickly. I am a clear Warner to you.

51:51  Don’t set up gods beside Allah, I am a clear Warner to you.

51:52  This is exactly what previous people did when a messenger was sent, they called him “a magician or a mad man.”

51:53  Did they tell one another to do this? No. They were transgressors

51:54  So ignore them, you are not to blame;

51:55  continue reminding, a reminder benefits the believers.

51:56  I created jinn and human beings only to worship Me.

51:57  I don’t want any sustenance from them nor for them to feed Me.

51:58  Allah is surely the Sustainer, the Superpower and strong.

51:59  The wrongdoers will have the punishment like their ancestors, so they shouldn’t ask Me to hasten it

51:60  It will be too bad for the disbelievers that Day, which they’ve been promised
