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.
[51.11]
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.
