The Winnowing Winds) - سورة الذاريات

وَالذَّارِيَاتِ ذَرْوًا ( 1 )
By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing

فَالْحَامِلَاتِ وِقْرًا ( 2 )
And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water]

فَالْجَارِيَاتِ يُسْرًا ( 3 )
And those [ships] sailing with ease

فَالْمُقَسِّمَاتِ أَمْرًا ( 4 )
And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌ ( 5 )
Indeed, what you are promised is true.

وَإِنَّ الدِّينَ لَوَاقِعٌ ( 6 )
And indeed, the recompense is to occur.

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْحُبُكِ ( 7 )
By the heaven containing pathways,

إِنَّكُمْ لَفِي قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ ( 8 )
Indeed, you are in differing speech.

يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ ( 9 )
Deluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded.

قُتِلَ الْخَرَّاصُونَ ( 10 )
Destroyed are the falsifiers

الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ ( 11 )
Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.

يَسْأَلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الدِّينِ ( 12 )
They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"

يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ ( 13 )
[It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire

ذُوقُوا فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ( 14 )
[And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient."

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ( 15 )
Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,

آخِذِينَ مَا آتَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ ( 16 )
Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.

كَانُوا قَلِيلًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ ( 17 )
They used to sleep but little of the night,

وَبِالْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ( 18 )
And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,

وَفِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ ( 19 )
And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.

وَفِي الْأَرْضِ آيَاتٌ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ ( 20 )
And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]

وَفِي أَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ ( 21 )
And in yourselves. Then will you not see?

وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ ( 22 )
And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.

فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ ( 23 )
Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ ( 24 )
Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham? -

إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا سَلَامًا ۖ قَالَ سَلَامٌ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ ( 25 )
When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet
you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people
unknown.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ فَجَاءَ بِعِجْلٍ سَمِينٍ ( 26 )
Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf

فَقَرَّبَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ( 27 )
And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"

فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوا لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَامٍ عَلِيمٍ ( 28 )
And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

فَأَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ فِي صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ ( 29 )
And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"

قَالُوا كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ ( 30 )
They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."

قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ ( 31 )
[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

قَالُوا إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ ( 32 )
They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن طِينٍ ( 33 )
To send down upon them stones of clay,

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ ( 34 )
Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( 35 )
So We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers.

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ( 36 )
And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَا آيَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ ( 37 )
And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

وَفِي مُوسَىٰ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ ( 38 )
And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِ وَقَالَ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ ( 39 )
But he turned away with his supporters and said," A magician or a madman."

فَأَخَذْنَاهُ وَجُنُودَهُ فَنَبَذْنَاهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ ( 40 )
So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.

وَفِي عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّيحَ الْعَقِيمَ ( 41 )
And in 'Aad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَيْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيمِ ( 42 )
It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.

وَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ( 43 )
And in Thamud, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."

فَعَتَوْا عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ( 44 )
But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.

فَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا مِن قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنتَصِرِينَ ( 45 )
And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ ( 46 )
And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.

وَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ( 47 )
And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

وَالْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَاهَا فَنِعْمَ الْمَاهِدُونَ ( 48 )
And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.

وَمِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ( 49 )
And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember.

فَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ( 50 )
So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ( 51 )
And do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

كَذَٰلِكَ مَا أَتَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ ( 52 )
Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."

أَتَوَاصَوْا بِهِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ ( 53 )
Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَا أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ ( 54 )
So leave them, [O Muhammad], for you are not to be blamed.

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( 55 )
And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ ( 56 )
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

مَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ ( 57 )
I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ ( 58 )
Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ ( 59 )
And indeed, for those who have wronged is a
portion [of punishment] like the portion of their predecessors, so let
them not impatiently urge Me.

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن يَوْمِهِمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ ( 60 )
And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
