   وَٱلذَّٰرِيَٰتِ ذَرۡوًۭا

   By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing

2. 51:2

   فَٱلۡحَٰمِلَٰتِ وِقۡرًۭا

   And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water]

3. 51:3

   فَٱلۡجَٰرِيَٰتِ يُسۡرًۭا

   And those [ships] sailing with ease

4. 51:4

   فَٱلۡمُقَسِّمَٰتِ أَمۡرًا

   And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter,

5. 51:5

   إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌۭ

   Indeed, what you are promised is true.

6. 51:6

   وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ

   And indeed, the recompense is to occur.

7. 51:7

   وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡحُبُكِ

   By the heaven containing pathways,

8. 51:8

   إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِى قَوۡلٍۢ مُّخۡتَلِفٍۢ

   Indeed, you are in differing speech.

9. 51:9

   يُؤۡفَكُ عَنۡهُ مَنۡ أُفِكَ

   Deluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded.

10. 51:10

    قُتِلَ ٱلۡخَرَّٰصُونَ

    Destroyed are the falsifiers

11. 51:11

    ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِى غَمۡرَةٍۢ سَاهُونَ

    Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.

12. 51:12

    يَسۡـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ

    They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"

13. 51:13

    يَوۡمَ هُمۡ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفۡتَنُونَ

    [It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire

14. 51:14

    ذُوقُواْ فِتۡنَتَكُمۡ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

    [And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient."

15. 51:15

    إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍ

    Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,

16. 51:16

    ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ ۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحۡسِنِينَ

    Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.

17. 51:17

    كَانُواْ قَلِيلًۭا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مَا يَهۡجَعُونَ

    They used to sleep but little of the night,

18. 51:18

    وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ

    And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,

19. 51:19

    وَفِىٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقٌّۭ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ

    And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.

20. 51:20

    وَفِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ءَايَٰتٌۭ لِّلۡمُوقِنِينَ

    And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]

21. 51:21

    وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ

    And in yourselves. Then will you not see?

22. 51:22

    وَفِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ

    And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.

23. 51:23

    فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّۭ مِّثۡلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمۡ تَنطِقُونَ

    Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.

24. 51:24

    هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيۡفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِينَ

    Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham? -

25. 51:25

    إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَٰمًۭا ۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٌۭ قَوۡمٌۭ مُّنكَرُونَ

    When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown.

26. 51:26

    فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجۡلٍۢ سَمِينٍۢ

    Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf

27. 51:27

    فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡ قَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

    And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"

28. 51:28

    فَأَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِيفَةًۭ ۖ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٍۢ

    And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

29. 51:29

    فَأَقۡبَلَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍۢ فَصَكَّتۡ وَجۡهَهَا وَقَالَتۡ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌۭ

    And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"

30. 51:30

    قَالُواْ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

    They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."

31. 51:31

    ۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ

    [Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

32. 51:32

    قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ أُرۡسِلۡنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمٍۢ مُّجۡرِمِينَ

    They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

33. 51:33

    لِنُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةًۭ مِّن طِينٍۢ

    To send down upon them stones of clay,

34. 51:34

    مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ

    Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

35. 51:35

    فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

    So We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers.

36. 51:36

    فَمَا وَجَدۡنَا فِيهَا غَيۡرَ بَيۡتٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ

    And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

37. 51:37

    وَتَرَكۡنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ

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

38. 51:38

    وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِسُلۡطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ

    And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.

39. 51:39

    فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكۡنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَٰحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌۭ

    But he turned away with his supporters and said," A magician or a madman."

40. 51:40

    فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُمۡ فِى ٱلۡيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ

    So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.

41. 51:41

    وَفِى عَادٍ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلۡعَقِيمَ

    And in 'Aad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.

42. 51:42

    مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىۡءٍ أَتَتۡ عَلَيۡهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتۡهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ

    It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.

43. 51:43

    وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذۡ قِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَمَتَّعُواْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ

    And in Thamud, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."

44. 51:44

    فَعَتَوۡاْ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ

    But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.

45. 51:45

    فَمَا ٱسۡتَطَٰعُواْ مِن قِيَامٍۢ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنتَصِرِينَ

    And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.

46. 51:46

    وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٍۢ مِّن قَبۡلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمًۭا فَٰسِقِينَ

    And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.

47. 51:47

    وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيۡنَٰهَا بِأَيۡيْدٍۢ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ

    And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

48. 51:48

    وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنَٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَٰهِدُونَ

    And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.

49. 51:49

    وَمِن كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَا زَوۡجَيۡنِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ

    And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember.

50. 51:50

    فَفِرُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ

    So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

51. 51:51

    وَلَا تَجۡعَلُواْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ

    And do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

52. 51:52

    كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُواْ سَاحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ

    Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."

53. 51:53

    أَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٌۭ طَاغُونَ

    Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.

54. 51:54

    فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍۢ

    So leave them, [O Muhammad], for you are not to be blamed.

55. 51:55

    وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

    And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.

56. 51:56

    وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ

    And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

57. 51:57

    مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقٍۢ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطۡعِمُونِ

    I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.

58. 51:58

    إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِينُ

    Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.

59. 51:59

    فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذَنُوبًۭا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ

    And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their predecessors, so let them not impatiently urge Me.

60. 51:60

    فَوَيۡلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن يَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ

    And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
