51:1
By those [winds] that scatter far and wide
51:2
and those that are heavily laden
51:4
that distribute [rain] as ordained
51:5
What you [people] are promised is true
51:6
the Judgement will come––
51:7
by the sky with its pathways
51:8
you differ in what you say––
51:9
those who turn away from it are [truly] deceived
51:11
those steeped in error and unaware
51:12
They ask, ‘When is this Judgement Day coming?’
51:13
On a Day when they will be punished by the Fire
51:14
‘Taste the punishment! This is what you wished to hasten.’
51:15
The righteous will be in Gardens with [flowing] springs
51:16
They will receive their Lord’s gifts because of the good they did before
51:17
sleeping only little at night
51:18
praying at dawn for God’s forgiveness
51:19
giving a rightful share of their wealth to the beggar and the deprived
51:20
On earth there are signs for those with sure faith––
51:21
and in yourselves too, do you not see?––
51:22
in the sky is your sustenance and all that you are promised
51:23
By the Lord of the heavens and earth! All this is as real as your speaking
51:24
[Muhammad], have you heard the story of the honoured guests of Abraham
51:25
They went in to see him and said, ‘Peace.’ ‘Peace,’ he said, [adding to himself] ‘These people are strangers.’
51:26
He turned quickly to his household, brought out a fat calf
51:27
and placed it before them. ‘Will you not eat?’ he said
51:28
beginning to be afraid of them, but they said, ‘Do not be afraid.’ They gave him good news of a son who would be gifted with knowledge
51:29
His wife then entered with a loud cry, struck her face, and said, ‘A barren old woman?’
51:30
but they said, ‘It will be so. This is what your Lord said, and He is the Wise, the All Knowing.’
51:31
Abraham said, ‘What is your errand, messengers?’
51:32
They said, ‘We are sent to a people lost in sin
51:33
to bring down rocks of clay
51:34
marked by your Lord for those who exceed all bounds.’
51:35
We brought out such believers as were there
51:36
We found only one household devoted to God
51:37
and left the town to be a sign for those who fear the painful punishment
51:38
There is another sign in Moses: We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority
51:39
Pharaoh turned away with his supporters, saying, ‘This is a sorcerer, or maybe a madman,’
51:40
so We seized him and his forces and threw them into the sea: he was to blame
51:41
There is another sign in the Ad: We sent the life-destroying wind against the
51:42
and it reduced everything it came up against to shreds
51:43
And also in the Thamud: it was said to them, ‘Make the most of your lives for a while,’
51:44
but they rebelled against their Lord’s command, so the blast took them. They looked on helplessly
51:45
they could not even remain standing, let alone defend themselves
51:46
Before that We destroyed the people of Noah. They were a truly sinful people
51:47
We built the heavens with Our power and made them vast
51:48
We spread out the earth- how well We smoothed it out!
51:49
and We created pairs of all things so that you [people] might take note
51:50
[So, say to them, Prophet], ‘Quickly, turn to God- I am sent by Him to give you clear warning
51:51
and do not set up any other god alongside Him. I am sent by Him to give you clear warning!’
51:52
Every previous people to whom a messenger was sent also said, ‘A sor-cerer, or maybe a madman!’
51:53
Did they tell one another to do this? No! They are a people who exceed all bounds
51:54
so ignore them [Prophet]- you are not to blame
51:55
and go on reminding [people], it is good for those who believe to be reminded
51:56
I created jinn and mankind only to worship Me
51:57
I want no provision from them, nor do I want them to feed Me
51:58
God is the Provider, the Lord of Power, the Ever Mighty
51:59
The evildoers, like their predecessors, will have a share of punishment- they need not ask Me to hasten it
51:60
and woe betide those who deny the truth on the Day they have been promised
