51-1 : I swear by the wind that scatters far and wide,

51-2 : Then those clouds bearing the load (of minute things in space).

51-3 : Then those (ships) that glide easily,

51-4 : Then those (angels who) distribute blessings by Our command;

51-5 : What you are threatened with is most surely true,

51-6 : And the judgment must most surely come about.

51-7 : I swear by the heaven full of ways.

51-8 : Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say,

51-9 : He is turned away from it who would be turned away.

51-10 : Cursed be the liars,

51-11 : Who are in a gulf (of ignorance) neglectful;

51-12 : They ask: When is the day of judgment?

51-13 : (It is) the day on which they shall be tried at the fire.

51-14 : Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on.

51-15 : Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and fountains.

51-16 : Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good.

51-17 : They used to sleep but little in the night.

51-18 : And in the morning they asked forgiveness.

51-19 : And in their property was a portion due to him who begs and to him who is denied (good).

51-20 : And in the earth there are signs for those who are sure,

51-21 : And in your own souls (too); will you not then see?

51-22 : And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you are threatened with.

51-23 : And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth! it is most surely the truth, just as you do speak.

51-24 : Has there come to you information about the honored guests of Ibrahim?

51-25 : When they entered upon him, they said: Peace. Peace, said he, a strange people.

51-26 : Then he turned aside to his family secretly and brought a fat (roasted) calf,

51-27 : So he brought it near them. He said: What! will you not eat?

51-28 : So he conceived in his mind a fear on account of them. They said: Fear not. And they gave him the good news of a boy possessing knowledge.

51-29 : Then his wife came up in great grief, and she struck her face and said: An old barren woman!

51-30 : They said: Thus says your Lord: Surely He is the Wise, the Knowing.

51-31 : He said: What is your affair then, O apostles!

51-32 : They said: Surely we are sent to a guilty people,

51-33 : That we may send down upon them stone of clay,

51-34 : Sent forth from your Lord for the extravagant.

51-35 : Then We brought forth such as were therein of the believers.

51-36 : But We did not find therein save a (single) house of those who submitted (the Muslims).

51-37 : And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

51-38 : And in Musa: When We sent him to Firon with clear authority.

51-39 : But he turned away with his forces and said: A magician or a mad man.

51-40 : So We seized him and his hosts and hurled them into the sea and he was blamable.

51-41 : And in Ad: When We sent upon them the destructive wind.

51-42 : It did not leave aught on which it blew, but it made it like ashes.

51-43 : And in Samood: When it was said to them: Enjoy yourselves for a while.

51-44 : But they revolted against the commandment of their Lord, so the rumbling overtook them while they saw.

51-45 : So they were not able to rise up, nor could they defend themselves -

51-46 : And the people of Nuh before, surely they were a transgressing people.

51-47 : And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and most surely We are the makers of things ample.

51-48 : And the earth, We have made it a wide extent; how well have We then spread (it) out.

51-49 : And of everything We have created pairs that you may be mindful.

51-50 : Therefore fly to Allah, surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.

51-51 : And do not set up with Allah another god: surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.

51-52 : Thus there did not come to those before them an apostle but they said: A magician or a mad man.

51-53 : Have they charged each other with this? Nay! they are an inordinate people.

51-54 : Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame;

51-55 : And continue to remind, for surely the reminder profits the believers.

51-56 : And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should serve Me.

51-57 : I do not desire from them any sustenance and I do not desire that they should feed Me.

51-58 : Surely Allah is the Bestower of sustenance, the Lord of Power, the Strong.

51-59 : So surely those who are unjust shall have a portion like the portion of their companions, therefore let them not ask Me to hasten on.

51-60 : Therefore woe to those who disbelieve because of their day which they are threatened with.
