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 hour 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 honoured 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 Sign 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 power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace.
|
|
48. * |
And We have spread out the (spacious) earth: How excellently We do spread out!
|
|
49. * |
And of every thing 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 apostle 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 Wrong-doers, 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!
