> Surah 51
> 
> Al Dhariyat (The Winds That Scatter)
> 
> In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
> 
> 1.  By the (Winds) that scatter broadcast;
> 
> 2.  And those that lift and bear away heavy weights;
> 
> 3.  And those that flow with ease and gentleness;
> 
> 4.  And those that distribute and apportion by command--
> 
> 5.  Verily that which ye are promised is true;
> 
> 6.  And verily Judgment and Justice must indeed come to pass.
> 
> 7.  By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths,
> 
> 8.  Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant,
> 
> 9.  Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded.
> 
> 10.  Woe to the falsehood-mongers--
> 
> 11.  Those who (flounder) heedless in a flood of confusion:
> 
> 12.  They ask, "when will be the Day of Judgment and Justice?"
> 
> 13.  (It will be) a Day when they will be tried (and tested) over the Fire!
> 
> 14.  "Taste ye your trial! this is what ye used to ask to be hastened!"
> 
> 15.  As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs,
> 
> 16.  Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life.
> 
> 17.  They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night,
> 
> 18.  And in the hours of early dawn, They (were found) praying for Forgiveness;
> 
> 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).
> 
> 20.  On the earth are Signs for those of assured Faith,
> 
> 21.  As also in your own selves: will ye not then see?
> 
> 22.  And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised.
> 
> 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.
> 
> 24.  Has the story reached thee, of the honored guests of Abraham?
> 
> 25.  Behold, they entered His presence, and said: "Peace!" He said, "Peace!" (and thought, "these seem) unusual people."
> 
> 26.  Then he turned quickly to his household, brought out a fatted calf.
> 
> 27.  And placed it before them...He said, "Will ye not eat?"
> 
> 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.
> 
> 29.  But his wife came forward (laughing) aloud: she smote her forehead and said: "a barren old woman!"
> 
> 30.  They said, "Even so has thy Lord spoken: and He is full of Wisdom and Knowledge."
> 
> 31.  (Abraham) said: "And what, o ye Messengers, is your errand (now)?"
> 
> 32.  They said, "We have been sent to a people (deep) in sin--
> 
> 33.  "To bring on, on them (a shower of) stones of clay (brimstone),
> 
> 34.  "Marked as from thy Lord for those who trespass beyond bounds."
> 
> 35.  Then We evacuated those of the Believers who were there.
> 
> 36.  But We found not there any just (Muslim) persons except in one house:
> 
> 37.  And We left there a Signs for such as fear the Grievous Penalty.
> 
> 38.  And in Moses (was another Sign): Behold, We sent him to Pharaoh, with authority manifest.
> 
> 39.  But (Pharaoh) turned back with his Chiefs, and said, "A sorcerer, or one possessed!"
> 
> 40.  So We took him and his forces, and threw them into the sea: and his was the blame.
> 
> 41.  And in the 'Ad (people) (was another Sign): Behold, We sent against them the devastating Wind:
> 
> 42.  It left nothing whatever that it came up against, but reduced it to ruin and rottenness.
> 
> 43.  And in the Thamud (was another Sign): Behold, they were told, "Enjoy (your brief day) for a little while!"
> 
> 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.
> 
> 45.  Then they could not even stand (on their feet), nor could they help themselves.
> 
> 46.  So were the people of Noah before them: for they wickedly transgressed.
> 
> 47.  With the power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of Space.
> 
> 48.  And We have spread out the (spacious) earth: how excellently We do spread out!
> 
> 49.  And of everything We have created pairs: that ye may receive instruction.
> 
> 50.  Hasten ye then (at once) to Allah: I am from Him a warner to you, clear and open!
> 
> 51.  And make not another an object of worship with Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!
> 
> 52.  Similarly, no messenger came to the Peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, "A sorcerer, or one possessed"!
> 
> 53.  Is this the legacy they have transmitted, one to another?  Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds!
> 
> 54.  So turn away from them: not thine is the blame.
> 
> 55.  But teach (thy Message): for teaching benefits the Believers.
> 
> 56.  I have only created jinns and men, that they may serve Me.
> 
> 57.  No sustenance do I require of them nor do I require that they should feed Me.
> 
> 58.  For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance, Lord of Power, Steadfast (for ever).
> 
> 59.  For the wrongdoers, their portion is like unto the portion of their fellows (of earlier generations): then let them not ask Me to hasten (that portion)!
> 
> 60.  Woe, then, to the Unbelievers, on account of that day of theirs which they have been promised!
