The Scatterers

In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent,
the Merciful.

[51.1]

I swear by the wind that scatters far and wide,

[51.2]

Then those clouds bearing the load (of minute things in space).

[51.3]

Then those (ships) that glide easily,

[51.4]

Then those (angels who) distribute blessings by Our command;

[51.5]

What you are threatened with is most surely true,

[51.6]

And the judgment must most surely come about.

[51.7]

1 swear by the heaven full of ways.

[51.8]

Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say,

[51.9]

He is turned away from it who would be turned away.

[51.10]

Cursed be the liars,

[51.11]

Who are in a gulf (of ignorance) neglectful;

[51.12]

They ask:
When is the day of judgment?

[51.13]

(It is) the day on which they shall be tried at the fire.

[51.14]

Taste your persecution!
this is what.
you would hasten on.

[51.15]

Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and fountains.

[51.16]

Taking what their Lord gives them;
surely they were before that,
the doers of good.

[51.17]

They used to sleep but little in the night.

[51.18]

And in the morning they asked forgiveness.

[51.19]

And in their property was a portion due to him who begs and to him who is denied (good).

[51.20]

And in the earth there are signs for those who are sure,

[51.21]

And in your own souls (too);
will you not then see?

[51.22]

And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you are threatened with.

[51.23]

And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth!
it is most surely the truth,
just as you do speak.

[51.24]

Has there come to you information about the honored guests of Ibrahim?

[51.25]

When they entered upon him,
they said:
Peace.
Peace,
said he,
a strange people.

[51.26]

Then he turned aside to his family secretly and brought a fat (roasted) calf,

[51.27]

So he brought it near them.
He said:
What!
will you not eat?

[51.28]

So he conceived in his mind a fear on account of them.
They said:
Fear not.
And they gave him the good news of a boy possessing knowledge.

[51.29]

Then his wife came up in great grief,
and she struck her face and said:
An old barren woman!

[51.30]

They said:
Thus says your Lord:
Surely He is the Wise,
the Knowing.

[51.31]

He said:
What is your affair then,
O messengers!

[51.32]

They said:
Surely we are sent to a guilty people,

[51.33]

That we may send down upon them stone of clay,

[51.34]

Sent forth from your Lord for the extravagant.

[51.35]

Then We brought forth such as were therein of the believers.

[51.36]

But We did not find therein save a (single) house of those who submitted (the Muslims).

[51.37]

And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

[51.38]

And in Musa:
When We sent him to Firon with clear authority.

[51.39]

But he turned away with his forces and said:
A magician or a mad man.

[51.40]

So We seized him and his hosts and hurled them into the sea and he was blamable.

[51.41]

And in Ad:
When We sent upon them the destructive wind.

[51.42]

It did not leave aught on which it blew,
but it made it like ashes.

[51.43]

And in Samood:
When it was said to them:
Enjoy yourselves for a while.

[51.44]

But they revolted against the commandment of their Lord,
so the rumbling overtook them while they saw.

[51.45]

So they were not able to rise up,
nor could they defend themselves- 46 And the people of Nuh before,
surely they were a transgressing people.

[51.47]

And the heaven,
We raised it high with power,
and most surely We are the makers of things ample.

[51.48]

And the earth,
We have made it a wide extent;
how well have We then spread (it) out.

[51.49]

And of everything We have created pairs that you may be mindful.

[51.50]

Therefore fly to Allah,
surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.

[51.51]

And do not set up with Allah another god:
surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.

[51.52]

Thus there did not come to those before them an apostle but they said:
A magician or a mad man.

[51.53]

Have they charged each other with this?
Nay!
they are an inordinate people.

[51.54]

Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame;

[51.55]

And continue to remind,
for surely the reminder profits the believers.

[51.56]

And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should serve Me.

[51.57]

1 do not desire from them any sustenance and I do not desire that they should feed Me.

[51.58]

Surely Allah is the Bestower of sustenance,
the Lord of Power,
the Strong.

[51.59]

So surely those who are unjust shall have a portion like the portion of their companions,
therefore let them not ask Me to hasten on.

[51.60]

Therefore woe to those who disbelieve because of their day which they are threatened with.
