In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. |
1. | 
By (the winds)
that scatter dust. |
2. | 
And (the clouds)
that bear heavy weight of water; |
3. | 
And (the ships)
that float with ease and gentleness; |
4. | 
And those (angels)
who distribute (provisions, rain, and other blessings) by (Allâh's)
Command; |
5. | 
Verily, that which
you are promised (i.e. Resurrection in the Hereafter and receiving
the reward or punishment of good or bad deeds, etc.) is surely
true. |
6. | 
And verily, the
Recompense is sure to happen. |
7. | 
By the heaven
full of paths, |
8. | 
Certainly, you
have different ideas (about Muhammad SAW and the Qur'ân). |
9. | 
Turned aside therefrom
(i.e. from Muhammad SAW
and the Qur'ân) is he who is turned aside (by the Decree
and Preordainment of Allâh). |
10. | 
Cursed be the
liars, |
11. | 
Who are under
a cover of heedlessness (think not about the gravity of the Hereafter), |
12. | 
They ask;"When
will be the Day of Recompense?" |
13. | 
(It will be)
a Day when they will be tried (i.e. burnt) over the Fire! |
14. | 
"Taste you
your trial (burning)! This is what you used to ask to be hastened!" |
15. | 
Verily, the Muttaqûn
(pious - see V.2:2) will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs
(in the Paradise), |
16. | 
Taking joy in
the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were
before this Muhsinûn (good-doers - see V.2:112). |
17. | 
They used to
sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allâh) and
praying, with fear and hope]. |
18. | 
And in the hours
before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allâh) for forgiveness, |
19. | 
And in their
properties there was the right of the beggar, and the Mahrûm
(the poor who does not ask the others)[]
, |
20. | 
And on the earth are
signs for those who have Faith with certainty, |
21. | 
And also in your
ownselves. Will you not then see? |
22. | 
And in the heaven
is your provision, and that which you are promised. |
23. | 
Then, by the
Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is the truth (i.e. what has
been promised to you), just as it is the truth that you can speak. |
24. | 
Has the story
reached you, of the honoured guests [three angels; Jibrael (Gabriel)
along with another two] of Ibrahîm (Abraham)? |
25. | 
When they came
in to him, and said, "Salâm, (peace be upon
you)!" He answered;"Salâm, (peace be upon
you )," and said: "You are a people unknown to me," |
26. | 
Then he turned
to his household, so brought out a roasted calf [as the property
of Ibrahîm (Abraham) was mainly cows]. |
27. | 
And placed it
before them, (saying): "Will you not eat?" |
28. | 
Then he conceived
a fear of them (when they ate not). They said: "Fear not."[]
And they gave him glad tidings of an intelligent son, having knowledge
(about Allâh and His religion of True Monotheism). |
29. | 
Then his wife
came forward with a loud voice, she smote her face, and said:
"A barren old woman!"[] |
30. | 
They said: "Even
so says your Lord.[] Verily,
He is the All-Wise, the All-Knower." |
31. | 
[Ibrâhim
(Abraham)] said: "Then for what purpose you have come, O
Messengers?" |
32. | 
They said: "We
have been sent to a people who are Mujrimûn (polytheists,
sinners, criminals, disbelievers in Allâh); |
33. | 
To send down
upon them stones of baked clay. |
34. | 
Marked by your
Lord for the Musrifûn (polytheists, criminals, sinners
those who trespass Allâh's set limits in evil-doings by
committing great sins). |
35. | 
So We brought
out from therein the believers. |
36. | 
But We found
not there any household of the Muslims except one [i.e. Lout (Lot)
and his two daughters]. |
37. | 
And We have left
there a sign (i.e. the place of the Dead Sea[]
, well-known in Palestine) for those who fear the painful torment. |
38. | 
And in Mûsa
(Moses) (too, there is a sign). When We sent him to Fir'aun (Pharaoh)
with a manifest authority. |
39. | 
But [Fir'aun
(Pharaoh)] turned away (from Belief in might) along with his hosts,
and said: "A sorcerer, or a madman." |
40. | 
So We took him
and his hosts, and dumped them into the sea, while he was to be
blamed. |
41. | 
And in 'Ad (there
is also a sign) when We sent against them the barren wind; |
42. | 
It spared nothing
that it reached, but blew it into broken spreads of rotten ruins. |
43. | 
And in Thamûd
(there is also a sign), when they were told: "Enjoy yourselves
for a while!" |
44. | 
But they insolently
defied the Command of their Lord, so the Sâ'iqah[]
overtook them while they were looking. |
45. | 
Then they were
unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves. |
46. | 
(So were) the
people of Nûh (Noah) before them. Verily, they were a people
who were Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to
Allâh). |
47. | 
With power did
We construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend the vastness
of space thereof. |
48. | 
And We have spread
out the earth, how Excellent Spreader (thereof) are We! |
49. | 
And of everything
We have created pairs, that you may remember (the Grace of Allâh). |
50. | 
So flee to Allâh
(from His Torment to His Mercy Islâmic Monotheism), verily,
I (Muhammad SAW)
am a plain warner to you from Him.[] |
51. | 
And set not up
(or worship) any other ilâhan (god) along with Allâh
[Glorified be He (Alone), Exalted above all that they associate
as partners with Him]. Verily, I (Muhammad SAW) am a plain warner to you from
Him. |
52. | 
Likewise, no
Messenger came to those before them, but they said: "A sorcerer
or a madman!" |
53. | 
Have they (the
people of the past) transmitted this saying to these (Quraish
pagans)? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond
bounds (in disbelief)! |
54. | 
So turn away
(O Muhammad SAW)
from them (Quraish pagans) you are not to be blamed (as you have
conveyed Allâh's Message). |
55. | 
And remind (by
preaching the Qur'ân, O Muhammad SAW) for verily, the reminding profits
the believers. |
56. | 
And I (Allâh)
created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me
(Alone). |
57. | 
I seek not any
provision from them (i.e. provision for themselves or for My creatures)
nor do I ask that they should feed Me (i.e. feed themselves or
My creatures). |
58. | 
Verily, Allâh
is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong. |
59. | 
And verily, for
those who do wrong, there is a portion of torment like to the
evil portion of torment (which came for) their likes (of old),
so let them not ask Me to hasten on! |
60. | 
Then, woe to
those who disbelieve (in Allâh and His Oneness Islâmic
Monotheism) from (that) their Day which they have been promised
(for their punishment).[] |
