Adh-Dhariyat The Winnowing Winds

وَٱلذَّٰرِيَـٰتِ ذَرْوًا ۝١

51:1 By those that winnow with a winnowing

فَٱلْحَـٰمِلَـٰتِ وِقْرًا ۝٢

51:2 And those that bear the burden (of the rain)

فَٱلْجَـٰرِيَـٰتِ يُسْرًا ۝٣

51:3 And those that glide with ease (upon the sea)

فَٱلْمُقَسِّمَـٰتِ أَمْرًا ۝٤

51:4 And those who distribute (blessings) by command,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌ ۝٥

51:5 Lo! that wherewith ye are threatened is indeed true,

وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٌ ۝٦

51:6 And lo! the judgment will indeed befall.

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْحُبُكِ ۝٧

51:7 By the heaven full of paths,

إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ ۝٨

51:8 Lo! ye, forsooth, are of various opinion (concerning the truth).

يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ ۝٩

51:9 He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse.

قُتِلَ ٱلْخَرَّٰصُونَ ۝١٠

51:10 Accursed be the conjecturers

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ ۝١١

51:11 Who are careless in an abyss!

يَسْـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ۝١٢

51:12 They ask: When is the Day of Judgment?

يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ ۝١٣

51:13 (It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire,

ذُوقُوا۟ فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ۝١٤

51:14 (And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ۝١٥

51:15 Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and watersprings,

ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٦

51:16 Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good;

كَانُوا۟ قَلِيلًا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ ۝١٧

51:17 They used to sleep but little of the night,

وَبِٱلْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ۝١٨

51:18 And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness,

وَفِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ ۝١٩

51:19 And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share.

وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ءَايَـٰتٌ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ ۝٢٠

51:20 And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure.

وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝٢١

51:21 And (also) in yourselves. Can ye then not see?

وَفِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ ۝٢٢

51:22 And in the heaven is your providence and that which ye are promised;

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ ۝٢٣

51:23 And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is the truth, even as (it is true) that ye speak.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْمُكْرَمِينَ ۝٢٤

51:24 Hath the story of Abraham's honoured guests reached thee (O Muhammad)?

إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمًا ۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمٌ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ ۝٢٥

51:25 When they came in unto him and said: Peace! he answered, Peace! (and thought): Folk unknown (to me).

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ سَمِينٍ ۝٢٦

51:26 Then he went apart unto his housefolk so that they brought a fatted calf;

فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ۝٢٧

51:27 And he set it before them, saying: Will ye not eat?

فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِيمٍ ۝٢٨

51:28 Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! and gave him tidings of (the birth of) a wise son.

فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ ۝٢٩

51:29 Then his wife came forward, making moan, and smote her face, and cried: A barren old woman!

قَالُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ۝٣٠

51:30 They said: Even so saith thy Lord. Lo! He is the Wise, the Knower.

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ۝٣١

51:31 (Abraham) said: And (afterward) what is your errand, O ye sent (from Allah)?

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ ۝٣٢

51:32 They said: Lo! we are sent unto a guilty folk,

لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن طِينٍ ۝٣٣

51:33 That we may send upon them stones of clay,

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ ۝٣٤

51:34 Marked by thy Lord for (the destruction of) the wanton.

فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٣٥

51:35 Then we brought forth such believers as were there.

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ ۝٣٦

51:36 But We found there but one house of those surrendered (to Allah).

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ ۝٣٧

51:37 And We left behind therein a portent for those who fear a painful doom.

وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ ۝٣٨

51:38 And in Moses (too, there is a portent) when We sent him unto Pharaoh with clear warrant,

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ ۝٣٩

51:39 But he withdrew (confiding) in his might, and said: A wizard or a madman.

فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ ۝٤٠

51:40 So We seized him and his hosts and flung them in the sea, for he was reprobate.

وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ ۝٤١

51:41 And in (the tribe of) A'ad (there is a portent) when we sent the fatal wind against them.

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ ۝٤٢

51:42 It spared naught that it reached, but made it (all) as dust.

وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ۝٤٣

51:43 And in (the tribe of) Thamud (there is a portent) when it was told them: Take your ease awhile.

فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ۝٤٤

51:44 But they rebelled against their Lord's decree, and so the thunderbolt overtook them even while they gazed;

فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ ۝٤٥

51:45 And they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَـٰسِقِينَ ۝٤٦

51:46 And the folk of Noah aforetime. Lo! they were licentious folk.

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ۝٤٧

51:47 We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof).

وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَـٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَـٰهِدُونَ ۝٤٨

51:48 And the earth have We laid out, how gracious is the Spreader (thereof)!

وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٤٩

51:49 And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect.

فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ۝٥٠

51:50 Therefor flee unto Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from him.

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ۝٥١

51:51 And set not any other god along with Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from Him.

كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ ۝٥٢

51:52 Even so there came no messenger unto those before them but they said: A wizard or a madman!

أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ ۝٥٣

51:53 Have they handed down (the saying) as an heirloom one unto another? Nay, but they are froward folk.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ ۝٥٤

51:54 So withdraw from them (O Muhammad), for thou art in no wise blameworthy,

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٥٥

51:55 And warn, for warning profiteth believers.

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ ۝٥٦

51:56 I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me.

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ ۝٥٧

51:57 I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ ۝٥٨

51:58 Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might.

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَـٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ ۝٥٩

51:59 And lo! for those who (now) do wrong there is an evil day like unto the evil day (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on (that day).

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ ۝٦٠

51:60 And woe unto those who disbelieve, from (that) their day which they are promised.
