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