[51:1]
The blowing winds.
[51:3]
Bringing provisions.
[51:4]
Distributing them as commanded.
[51:5]
What is promised to you will surely come to pass.
[51:6]
The Day of Judgment is inevitable.
[51:7]
Despite the perfectly created sky.
[51:8]
You continue to dispute the truth.
[51:9]
Deviating therefrom are the deviators.
[51:10]
Woe to the falsifiers.
[51:11]
In their blundering, they are totally heedless.
[51:12]
They question the Day of Judgment.
[51:13]
The day they are presented to the fire.
[51:14]
Taste the retribution; this is what you used to challenge.
[51:15]
The righteous have deserved gardens and springs.
[51:16]
They receive their Lord's rewards, for they used to be pious.
[51:17]
Rarely did they sleep the whole night.
[51:18]
At dawn, they prayed for forgiveness.
[51:19]
A portion of their money was set aside for the beggar and the needy.
[51:20]
The earth is full of signs for those who are certain.
[51:21]
And within yourselves; can you see?
[51:22]
In the heaven is your provision, and everything that is promised to you.
[51:23]
By the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is as true as the fact that you speak.
[51:24]
Have you noted the history of Abraham's honorable guests?
[51:25]
They visited him, saying, "Peace." He said, "Peace to you, strangers!"
[51:26]
He asked his family to prepare a fat calf.
[51:27]
When he offered it to them, he remarked, "Do you not eat?"
[51:28]
He harbored fear of them. They said, "Have no fear," and they gave good news of a knowledgeable son.
[51:29]
His wife was astonished. Noting her wrinkled face: "I am a sterile old woman."
[51:30]
They said, "Thus said your Lord. He is the Most Wise, the Omniscient."
[51:31]
He said, "What are you up to, O messengers?"
[51:32]
They said, "We have been dispatched to criminal people.
[51:33]
"We will shower them with rocks of clay.
[51:34]
"Marked by your Lord for the transgressors."
[51:35]
We then delivered all the believers.
[51:36]
We did not find in it except one house of submitters.
[51:37]
We set it up as a lesson for those who fear the painful retribution.
[51:38]
In Moses (there is a lesson). We sent him to Pharaoh with manifest signs.
[51:39]
But he turned away, in arrogance, and said, "Magician, or crazy."
[51:40]
Consequently, we punished him and his troops. We threw them into the sea, and he is the one to blame.
[51:41]
In 'Ãd (there is a lesson). We sent upon them disastrous wind.
[51:42]
Anything that it came upon was utterly destroyed.
[51:43]
In Thamûd (there is a lesson). They were told, "Enjoy temporarily."
[51:44]
They rebelled against the command of their Lord. Consequently, the lightning struck them as they looked.
[51:45]
They could never get up, nor were they helped.
[51:46]
And the people of Noah before that; they were wicked people.
[51:47]
We constructed the sky with our hands, and we will continue to expand it.
[51:48]
And we made the earth habitable; a perfect design.
[51:49]
We created a pair (male and female) of everything, that you may take heed.
[51:50]
You shall escape to GOD. I am sent by Him to you as a manifest warner.
[51:51]
Do not set up besides GOD any other god. I am sent by Him to you as a manifest warner.
[51:52]
Consistently, when a messenger went to the previous generations, they said, "Magician," or, "Crazy."
[51:53]
Did they make an agreement with each other? Indeed, they are transgressors.
[51:54]
You may disregard them; you cannot be blamed.
[51:55]
And remind, for the reminder benefits the believers.
[51:56]
I did not create the jinns and the humans except to worship Me alone.
[51:57]
I need no provisions from them, nor do I need them to feed Me.
[51:58]
GOD is the Provider, the Possessor of all power, the Supreme.
[51:59]
The transgressors have incurred the same fate as their previous counterparts; they should not challenge.
[51:60]
Woe to those who disbelieved from the day that is awaiting them.
