Adh-Dhariyat
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By (the winds) that scatter dust. (1) And (the clouds) that
bear heavy weight of water; (2) And (the ships) that float with ease and
gentleness; (3) And those (angels) who distribute (provisions, rain, and other
blessings) by (Allâh's) Command;¬ (4) Verily, that which
you are promised (i.e. Resurrection in the Hereafter and receiving the reward
or punishment of good or bad deeds) is surely true. (5) And verily, the
Recompense is sure to happen. (6)By the heaven full of paths, (7) Certainly,
you have different ideas (about Muhammad SAW and the Qur'ân). (8) Turned aside
therefrom (i.e. from Muhammad SAW and the Qur’ân) is he who is turned aside (by
the Decree and Preordainment ÇáÞÖÇÁ æÇáÞÏÑ of Allâh). (9) Cursed be the liars, (10) Who
are under a cover of heedlessness (think not about the gravity of the
Hereafter), (11) They ask;"When will be the Day of Recompense?" (12) (It will be) a Day
when they will be tried (punished i.e. burnt) over the Fire! (13) "Taste you your
trial (punishment i.e. burning)! This is what you used to ask to be
hastened!" (14) Verily, the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2) will be in the midst
of Gardens and Springs (in the Paradise),
(15) Taking joy in the
things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinûn
(good-doers - see V.2:112) (16) They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord
(Allâh) and praying, with fear and hope]. (17) And in the hours
before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allâh) for forgiveness, (18) And in their
properties there was the right of the Sa'il (the beggar who asks), and the
Mahrûm (the poor who does not ask the others)[] , (19) And on the earth are
signs for those who have Faith with certainty, (20) And also in your
ownselves. Will you not then see? (21) And in the heaven is your provision, and that
which you are promised. (22) 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. (23) Has the story reached you, of the honoured
guests [three angels; Jibril (Gabriel) along with another two] of Ibrahîm
(Abraham)? (24) 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," (25) Then he turned to his
household, and brought out a roasted calf [as the property of Ibrahîm (Abraham)
was mainly cows]. (26) And placed it before them, (saying): "Will you not
eat?" (27) Then he conceived fear of them (when they ate not). They said:
"Fear not."[] And they gave him glad tidings of son, having knowledge
(about Allâh and His religion of True Monotheism). (28) Then his wife came
forward with a loud voice, she smote her face, and said: "A barren old
woman!"[] (29) They said: "Even so says your Lord.[]
Verily, He is the All-Wise, the All-Knower." (30)[Ibrâhim (Abraham)]
said: "Then for what purpose you have come, O Messengers?" (31) They said: "We
have been sent to a people who are Mujrimûn (polytheists, sinners, criminals,
disbelievers in Allâh); (32) To send down upon them stones of baked clay.
(33) Marked by your Lord
for the Musrifûn (polytheists, criminals, sinners — those who trespass Allâh's
set limits in evil-doings by committing great sins). (34) So We brought out
from therein the believers. (35) But We found not there any household of the
Muslims except one [of Lut (Lot) and his two
daughters]. (36) And We have left there a sign (i.e. the place of the Dead Sea[]
in Palestine)
for those who fear the painful torment. (37) And in Mûsa (Moses) (too, there is a
sign). When We sent him to Fir'aun (Pharaoh) with a manifest authority. (38) But [Fir'aun
(Pharaoh)] turned away (from Belief in might) along with his hosts, and said:
"A sorcerer, or a madman." (39) So We took him and his hosts, and
dumped them into the sea for he was blameworthy. (40) And in 'Ad (there is
also a sign) when We sent against them the barren wind; (41) It spared nothing
that it reached, but blew it into broken spreads of rotten ruins. (42) And in Thamûd (there
is also a sign), when they were told: "Enjoy yourselves for a while!"
(43) But they insolently
defied the Command of their Lord, so the Sâ'iqah[] overtook them while they
were looking. (44) Then they were unable to rise up, nor could they help
themselves. (45) (So were) the people of Nûh (Noah) before them. Verily, they
were a people who were Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh). (46) With power did We
construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend the vastness of space
thereof. (47) And We have spread out the earth, how Excellent Spreader
(thereof) are We! (48) And of everything We have created pairs, that you may
remember (the Grace of Allâh). (49) So flee to Allâh (from His Torment to His
Mercy — Islâmic Monotheism), verily, I (Muhammad SAW) am a plain warner to you
from Him.[] (50) And set not up (or worship not) any other ilâh (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.
(51) Likewise, no
Messenger came to those before them, but they said: "A sorcerer or a
madman!" (52) 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)! (53) So turn away (O Muhammad SAW) from them (Quraish pagans)
you are not blameworthy (as you have conveyed Allâh's Message). (54) And remind (by
preaching the Qur'ân, O Muhammad SAW) for verily, the reminding profits the
believers. (55) And I (Allâh) created not the jinn and mankind except that they
should worship Me (Alone). (56) 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). (57) Verily, Allâh is the
All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong. (58) 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! (59) Then, woe to those
who disbelieve (in Allâh and His Oneness — Islâmic Monotheism) from their Day
which they have been promised (for their punishment).[] (60)
