51:1 |
|
By the (Winds) that scatter broadcast;
|
51:2 |
|
And those that lift and bear away heavy weights;
|
51:3 |
|
And those that flow with ease and gentleness;
|
51:4 |
|
And those that distribute and apportion by Command;-
|
51:5 |
|
Verily that which ye are promised is true;
|
51:6 |
|
And verily Judgment and Justice must indeed come to pass.
|
51:7 |
|
By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths,
|
51:8 |
|
Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant,
|
51:9 |
|
Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded.
|
51:10 |
|
Woe to the falsehood-mongers,-
|
51:11 |
|
Those who (flounder) heedless in a flood of confusion:
|
51:12 |
|
They ask, "When will be the Day of Judgment and Justice?"
|
51:13 |
|
(It will be) a Day when they will be tried (and tested) over the Fire!
|
51:14 |
|
"Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!"
|
51:15 |
|
As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs,
|
51:16 |
|
Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life.
|
51:17 |
|
They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night,
|
51:18 |
|
And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness;
|
51:19 |
|
And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking).
|
51:20 |
|
On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith,
|
51:21 |
|
As also in your own selves: Will ye not then see?
|
51:22 |
|
And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised.
|
51:23 |
|
Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other.
|
51:24 |
|
Has the story reached thee, of the honoured guests of Abraham?
|
51:25 |
|
Behold, they entered his presence, and said: "Peace!" He said, "Peace!" (and thought, "These seem) unusual people."
|
51:26 |
|
Then he turned quickly to his household, brought out a fatted calf,
|
51:27 |
|
And placed it before them.. he said, "Will ye not eat?"
|
51:28 |
|
(When they did not eat), He conceived a fear of them. They said, "Fear not," and they gave him glad tidings of a son endowed with knowledge.
|
51:29 |
|
But his wife came forward (laughing) aloud: she smote her forehead and said: "A barren old woman!"
|
51:30 |
|
They said, "Even so has thy Lord spoken: and He is full of Wisdom and Knowledge."
|
51:31 |
|
(Abraham) said: "And what, O ye Messengers, is your errand (now)?"
|
51:32 |
|
They said, "We have been sent to a people (deep) in sin;-
|
51:33 |
|
"To bring on, on them, (a shower of) stones of clay (brimstone),
|
51:34 |
|
"Marked as from thy Lord for those who trespass beyond bounds."
|
51:35 |
|
Then We evacuated those of the Believers who were there,
|
51:36 |
|
But We found not there any just (Muslim) persons except in one house:
|
51:37 |
|
And We left there a Sign for such as fear the Grievous Penalty.
|
51:38 |
|
And in Moses (was another Sign): Behold, We sent him to Pharaoh, with authority manifest.
|
51:39 |
|
But (Pharaoh) turned back with his Chiefs, and said, "A sorcerer, or one possessed!"
|
51:40 |
|
So We took him and his forces, and threw them into the sea; and his was the blame.
|
51:41 |
|
And in the 'Ad (people) (was another Sign): Behold, We sent against them the devastating Wind:
|
51:42 |
|
It left nothing whatever that it came up against, but reduced it to ruin and rottenness.
|
51:43 |
|
And in the Thamud (was another Sign): Behold, they were told, "Enjoy (your brief day) for a little while!"
|
51:44 |
|
But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord: So the stunning noise (of an earthquake) seized them, even while they were looking on.
|
51:45 |
|
Then they could not even stand (on their feet), nor could they help themselves.
|
51:46 |
|
So were the People of Noah before them for they wickedly transgressed.
|
51:47 |
|
With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace.
|
51:48 |
|
And We have spread out the (spacious) earth: How excellently We do spread out!
|
51:49 |
|
And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction.
|
51:50 |
|
Hasten ye then (at once) to Allah. I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!
