# Translation Ayah
1 By the winds which scatter dust, وَالذَّارِيَاتِ ذَرْوًا
2 which carry clouds laden with water, فَالْحَامِلَاتِ وِقْرًا
3 which then smoothly speed along, فَالْجَارِيَاتِ يُسْرًا
4 and execute the great task of apportioning (rainfall): فَالْمُقَسِّمَاتِ أَمْرًا
5 surely what you are being warned against is true, إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌ
6 and the Judgement shall doubtlessly take place. وَإِنَّ الدِّينَ لَوَاقِعٌ
7 By the heaven with its numerous forms: وَالسَّمَاء ذَاتِ الْحُبُكِ
8 surely you are at variance (about the Hereafter); إِنَّكُمْ لَفِي قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ
9 though only those who are averse to the Truth will turn away from (believing in it). يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ
10 Doomed are the conjecturers قُتِلَ الْخَرَّاصُونَ
11 who are steeped in ignorance and heedlessness. الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ
12 They ask: “When will the Day of Judgement be?” يَسْأَلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
13 It will be the Day when they shall be scourged by the Fire يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ
14 (and be told): “Taste your ordeal! This is what you were seeking to hasten.” ذُوقُوا فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
15 As for the God-fearing, they shall be in the midst of gardens and fountains, إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
16 joyously receiving what their Lord will have granted them. Verily they did good works before (the coming of this Day): آخِذِينَ مَا آتَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ
17 they used to sleep but little by night, كَانُوا قَلِيلًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ
18 and would ask for forgiveness at dawn, وَبِالْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ
19 and in their wealth there was a rightful share for him who would ask and for the destitute. وَفِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ
20 There are many Signs on earth for those of sure faith, وَفِي الْأَرْضِ آيَاتٌ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ
21 and also in your own selves. Do you not see? وَفِي أَنفُسِكُمْ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ
22 And in heaven is your provision and also what you are being promised. وَفِي السَّمَاء رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ
23 So, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is certainly true, as true as the fact of your speaking. فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاء وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ
24 (O Prophet), did the story of Abraham's honoured guests reach you? هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ
25 When they came to him, they said: “Peace”; he said: “Peace also be to you; (you seem to be) a group of strangers.” إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا سَلَامًا قَالَ سَلَامٌ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ
26 Then he went back to his family and brought a fat roasted calf فَرَاغَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَجَاء بِعِجْلٍ سَمِينٍ
27 and laid it before them, saying: “Will you not eat?” فَقَرَّبَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ
28 Then he became afraid of them. They said: “Fear not,” and announced to him the good news of (the birth of) a boy endowed with knowledge. فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً قَالُوا لَا تَخَفْ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَامٍ عَلِيمٍ
29 So hearing his wife went forth shouting. She struck her face and exclaimed: “A barren old woman am I.” فَأَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ فِي صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ
30 They said: “So has your Lord said (that you shall have a boy). Surely He is Most Wise, All-Knowing.” قَالُوا كَذَلِكَ قَالَ رَبُّكِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ
31 Abraham said: “Envoys (of Allah), what is your errand?” قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ
32 They replied: “Behold, we have been sent to a wicked people قَالُوا إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَى قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ
33 that we may unleash a shower of clay-stones لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن طِينٍ
34 marked by your Lord upon those who go beyond the limits.” مُسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ
35 Then We evacuated there from all the believers فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
36 – and We did not find there any, apart from a single house of Muslims – فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
37 and We left therein a Sign for those who fear the grievous chastisement. وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَا آيَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ
38 There is also a Sign for you in the story of Moses when We sent him with a clear authority to Pharaoh. وَفِي مُوسَى إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
39 But Pharaoh turned away, showing arrogance on account of his power, and said (about Moses): “He is either a sorcerer or a madman.” فَتَوَلَّى بِرُكْنِهِ وَقَالَ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ
40 So We seized him and his hosts, and cast them into the sea. He became an object of much blame. فَأَخَذْنَاهُ وَجُنُودَهُ فَنَبَذْنَاهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ
41 There is also a Sign for you in (the story of) Ad, when We let loose upon them an ominous wind وَفِي عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّيحَ الْعَقِيمَ
42 that left nothing that it came upon without reducing it to rubble. مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَيْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيمِ
43 There is also a Sign for you in (the story of) Thamud. They were told: “Enjoy yourselves for a while.” وَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا حَتَّى حِينٍ
44 But they brazenly disobeyed their Lord's command, and then a sudden chastisement overtook them while they looked on. فَعَتَوْا عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
45 They were unable even to stand up or protect themselves. فَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا مِن قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنتَصِرِينَ
46 Before all these We destroyed the people of Noah: they were a wicked people. وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ
47 And heaven – We made it with Our Own Power and We have the Power to do so. وَالسَّمَاء بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ
48 And the earth – We spread it out, and how well have We smoothed it! وَالْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَاهَا فَنِعْمَ الْمَاهِدُونَ
49 And of everything We have created pairs; perhaps you will take heed. وَمِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
50 Flee, therefore, to Allah. Surely I am a clear warner to you from Him; فَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
51 and do not set up any deity with Allah. Surely I am a clear warner to you from Him. وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
52 Thus has it been (in the past): never did a Messenger come to the nations that preceded them but they said: “(He is) a sorcerer, or a mad-man.” كَذَلِكَ مَا أَتَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ
53 Have they arrived at a common understanding concerning this? No; but they are a people given to transgression. أَتَوَاصَوْا بِهِ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ
54 So turn your attention away from them; you shall incur no blame. فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَا أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ
55 Do, however, keep exhorting them; for exhortation benefits those endowed with faith. وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَى تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
56 I created the jinn and humans for nothing else but that they may serve Me; وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
57 I desire from them no provision, nor do I want them to feed Me. مَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ
58 Surely Allah is the Bestower of all provision, the Lord of all power, the Strong. إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ
59 The wrong-doers shall receive a portion of the chastisements as their fellows (of yore). So let them not rush Me. فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ
60 Woe, then, betide those who disbelieved in that Day of theirs which they are being asked to hold in dread. فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن يَوْمِهِمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ
