In the Name of Allaah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. |
|
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 (Allaah's) 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 sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam and the Qur'aan). |
|
9. |
Turned aside therefrom (i.e, from Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam and the Qur'aan) is he who is turned aside (by the Decree and Preordainment of Allaah). |
|
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 (the pious believers of Islaamic Monotheism) 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 (Allaah) and praying, with fear and hope]. |
|
18. |
And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allaah) for forgiveness, |
|
19. |
And in their properties there was the right of the beggar, and the Mahrum (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 Ibraaheem (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 Ibraaheem (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 Allaah 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 Allaah); |
|
33. |
To send down upon them stones of baked clay. |
|
34. |
Marked by your Lord for the Musrifun (polytheists, criminals, sinners those who trespass Allaah's 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, Loot (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 Moosaa (Moses) (too, there is a sign), When We sent him to Fir'aun (Pharaoh) with a manifest authority. |
|
39. |
But [Fir'aun (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 Sa'iqah 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 Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allaah). |
|
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 Allaah). |
|
50. |
So flee to Allaah (from His Torment to His Mercy Islaamic Monotheism), verily, I (Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) am a plain warner to you from Him. |
|
51. |
And set not up (or worship) any other Ilaahan (god) along with Allaah [Glorified be He (Alone), Exalted above all that they associate as partners with Him], Verily, I (Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) 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 sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) from them (Quraish pagans) you are not to be blamed (as you have conveyed Allaah's Message). |
|
55. |
And remind (by preaching the Qur'aan, O Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) for verily, the reminding profits the believers. |
|
56. |
And I (Allaah) 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, Allaah 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 Allaah and His Oneness Islaamic Monotheism) from (that) their Day which they have been promised (for their punishment). |
