51. Az-Zâriyât

Introduction to this Surat.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
1. arabic
By (the winds) that scatter dust.
2. arabic
And (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water;
3. arabic
And (the ships) that float with ease and gentleness;
4. arabic
And those (angels) who distribute (provisions, rain, and other blessings) by (Allâh's) Command;­
5. arabic
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. arabic
And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen.
7. arabic
By the heaven full of paths,
8. arabic
Certainly, you have different ideas (about Muhammad SAW and the Qur'ân).
9. arabic
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. arabic
Cursed be the liars,
11. arabic
Who are under a cover of heedlessness (think not about the gravity of the Hereafter),
12. arabic
They ask;"When will be the Day of Recompense?"
13. arabic
(It will be) a Day when they will be tried (i.e. burnt) over the Fire!
14. arabic
"Taste you your trial (burning)! This is what you used to ask to be hastened!"
15. arabic
Verily, the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2) will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs (in the Paradise),
16. arabic
Taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinûn (good-doers - see V.2:112).
17. arabic
They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allâh) and praying, with fear and hope].
18. arabic
And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allâh) for forgiveness,
19. arabic
And in their properties there was the right of the beggar, and the Mahrûm (the poor who does not ask the others)[] ,
20. arabic
And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty,
21. arabic
And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see?
22. arabic
And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised.
23. arabic
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. arabic
Has the story reached you, of the honoured guests [three angels; Jibrael (Gabriel) along with another two] of Ibrahîm (Abraham)?
25. arabic
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. arabic
Then he turned to his household, so brought out a roasted calf [as the property of Ibrahîm (Abraham) was mainly cows].
27. arabic
And placed it before them, (saying): "Will you not eat?"
28. arabic
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. arabic
Then his wife came forward with a loud voice, she smote her face, and said: "A barren old woman!"[]
30. arabic
They said: "Even so says your Lord.[] Verily, He is the All-Wise, the All-Knower."
31. arabic
[Ibrâhim (Abraham)] said: "Then for what purpose you have come, O Messengers?"
32. arabic
They said: "We have been sent to a people who are Mujrimûn (polytheists, sinners, criminals, disbelievers in Allâh);
33. arabic
To send down upon them stones of baked clay.
34. arabic
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. arabic
So We brought out from therein the believers.
36. arabic
But We found not there any household of the Muslims except one [i.e. Lout (Lot) and his two daughters].
37. arabic
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. arabic
And in Mûsa (Moses) (too, there is a sign). When We sent him to Fir'aun (Pharaoh) with a manifest authority.
39. arabic
But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] turned away (from Belief in might) along with his hosts, and said: "A sorcerer, or a madman."
40. arabic
So We took him and his hosts, and dumped them into the sea, while he was to be blamed.
41. arabic
And in 'Ad (there is also a sign) when We sent against them the barren wind;
42. arabic
It spared nothing that it reached, but blew it into broken spreads of rotten ruins.
43. arabic
And in Thamûd (there is also a sign), when they were told: "Enjoy yourselves for a while!"
44. arabic
But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord, so the Sâ'iqah[] overtook them while they were looking.
45. arabic
Then they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.
46. arabic
(So were) the people of Nûh (Noah) before them. Verily, they were a people who were Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).
47. arabic
With power did We construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend the vastness of space thereof.
48. arabic
And We have spread out the earth, how Excellent Spreader (thereof) are We!
49. arabic
And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember (the Grace of Allâh).
50. arabic
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. arabic
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. arabic
Likewise, no Messenger came to those before them, but they said: "A sorcerer or a madman!"
53. arabic
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. arabic
 So turn away (O Muhammad SAW) from them (Quraish pagans) you are not to be blamed (as you have conveyed Allâh's Message).
55. arabic
And remind (by preaching the Qur'ân, O Muhammad SAW) for verily, the reminding profits the believers.
56. arabic
And I (Allâh) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).
57. arabic
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. arabic
Verily, Allâh is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong.
59. arabic
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. arabic
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).[]
