Chapter 51
In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
51:1 By the winds that blow.
51:2 Carrying rain.
51:3 Traveling easily.
51:4 Distributing as commanded.
51:5 What you are being promised is true.
51:6 And the Judgment will come to pass.
51:7 By the heaven that is woven.
51:8 You are saying what is different.
51:9 To mislead those who are misled.
51:10 Woe to the deceitful.
51:11 Who are in mischief, unaware.
51:12 They ask: "When is the Day of Judgment?"
51:13 The Day they ordeal upon the Fire.
51:14 "Taste this ordeal of yours; this is what you asked to be hastened."
51:15 The righteous are in gardens and springs.
51:16 Receiving what their Lord has bestowed to them, for they were before that pious.
51:17 They used to rarely sleep the whole night.
51:18 And before dawn, they would seek forgiveness.
51:19 And in their money was a portion for the beggar and the needy.
51:20 And on the earth are signs for those who comprehend.
51:21 And within yourselves; do you not see?
51:22 And in the heaven is your provision, and what you are promised.
51:23 By the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is truth just as the fact that you speak.
51:24 Has the narrative of the noble guests of Abraham come to you?
51:25 When they entered upon him, they said: "Peace." He said: "Peace to a people unknown!"
51:26 Then he went to his family and brought a fat calf.
51:27 He offered it to them, he said: "Do you not eat?"
51:28 He then became fearful of them. They said: "Do not fear," and they gave him good news of a knowledgeable boy.
51:29 His wife then approached in amazement. She slapped upon her face, and said: "A barren old woman!"
51:30 They said: "It was such that your Lord has said. He is the Wise, the Knowledgeable."
51:31 He said: "What is your undertaking, O messengers?"
51:32 They said: "We have been sent to a criminal people."
51:33 "To send down upon them rocks of clay."
51:34 "Prepared by your Lord for the transgressors."
51:35 We then vacated from it all the believers.
51:36 But We only found in it one house of those who had submitted.
51:37 And We left in it a sign for those who fear the painful retribution.
51:38 And also Moses, for We sent him to Pharaoh with a clear authority.
51:39 But he and his camp turned away, and said: "A magician, or crazy."
51:40 So We took him and his troops; We cast them into the sea, and he was to blame.
51:41 And also 'Aad, for We sent upon them the barren wind.
51:42 Anything that it came upon was utterly destroyed.
51:43 And also Thamud, for it was said to them: "Enjoy for a while."
51:44 But they rebelled against the command of their Lord. So the thunderbolt took them while they were looking.
51:45 They were unable to rise up, nor could they win.
51:46 And the people of Noah before; they were a wicked people.
51:47 And the heaven We constructed with resources, and We are expanding it.
51:48 And the earth We have spread out; graced is the making.
51:49 And of everything We created a pair, perhaps you may remember.
51:50 So turn towards God. I am to you from Him a clear warner.
51:51 And do not make any other god with God. I am to you from Him a clear warner.
51:52 Likewise, when a messenger went to those before them, they said: "A magician, or crazy."
51:53 Have they passed down this saying to each other? Indeed, they are a wicked people.
51:54 So turn away from them; you will not be blamed.
51:55 And remind, for the reminder benefits the believers.
51:56 I did not create the Jinn and humans except to serve Me.
51:57 I need no provisions from them, nor do I need them to give food.
51:58 God is the Provider, the One with Power, the Supreme.
51:59 The transgressors will have the same fate as their previous friends; so let them not be hasty.
51:60 So woe to those who rejected from the Day that is waiting for them.
