I swear by the wind that scatters far and wide,
|
2. |
Then those clouds bearing the load (of minute things in space).
|
3. |
Then those (ships) that glide easily,
|
4. |
Then those (angels who) distribute blessings by Our command;
|
5. |
What you are threatened with is most surely true,
|
6. |
And the judgment must most surely come about.
|
7. |
1 swear by the heaven full of ways.
|
8. |
Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say,
|
9. |
He is turned away from it who would be turned away.
|
10. |
Cursed be the liars,
|
11. |
Who are in a gulf (of ignorance) neglectful;
|
12. |
They ask: When is the day of judgment?
|
13. |
(It is) the day on which they shall be tried at the fire.
|
14. |
Taste your persecution! this is what.you would hasten on.
|
15. |
Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and fountains.
|
16. |
Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good.
|
17. |
They used to sleep but little in the night.
|
18. |
And in the morning they asked forgiveness.
|
19. |
And in their property was a portion due to him who begs and to him who is denied (good).
|
20. |
And in the earth there are signs for those who are sure,
|
21. |
And in your own souls (too); will you not then see?
|
22. |
And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you are threatened with.
|
23. |
And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth! it is most surely the truth, just as you do speak.
|
24. |
Has there come to you information about the honored guests of Ibrahim?
|
25. |
When they entered upon him, they said: Peace. Peace, said he, a strange people.
|
26. |
Then he turned aside to his family secretly and brought a fat (roasted) calf,
|
27. |
So he brought it near them. He said: What! will you not eat?
|
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.
|
29. |
Then his wife came up in great grief, and she struck her face and said: An old barren woman!
|
30. |
They said: Thus says your Lord: Surely He is the Wise, the Knowing.
|
31. |
He said: What is your affair then, O messengers!
|
32. |
They said: Surely we are sent to a guilty people,
|
33. |
That we may send down upon them stone of clay,
|
34. |
Sent forth from your Lord for the extravagant.
|
35. |
Then We brought forth such as were therein of the believers.
|
36. |
But We did not find therein save a (single) house of those who submitted (the Muslims).
|
37. |
And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.
|
38. |
And in Musa: When We sent him to Firon with clear authority.
|
39. |
But he turned away with his forces and said: A magician or a mad man.
|
40. |
So We seized him and his hosts and hurled them into the sea and he was blamable.
|
41. |
And in Ad: When We sent upon them the destructive wind.
|
42. |
It did not leave aught on which it blew, but it made it like ashes.
|
43. |
And in Samood: When it was said to them: Enjoy yourselves for a while.
|
44. |
But they revolted against the commandment of their Lord, so the rumbling overtook them while they saw.
|
45. |
So they were not able to rise up, nor could they defend themselves-
|
46. |
And the people of Nuh before, surely they were a transgressing people.
|
47. |
And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and most surely We are the makers of things ample.
|
48. |
And the earth, We have made it a wide extent; how well have We then spread (it) out.
|
49. |
And of everything We have created pairs that you may be mindful.
|
50. |
Therefore fly to Allah, surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.
|
51. |
And do not set up with Allah another god: surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.
|
52. |
Thus there did not come to those before them an apostle but they said: A magician or a mad man.
|
53. |
Have they charged each other with this? Nay! they are an inordinate people.
|
54. |
Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame;
|
55. |
And continue to remind, for surely the reminder profits the believers.
|
56. |
And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should serve Me
|
57. |
1 do not desire from them any sustenance and I do not desire that they should feed Me.
|
58. |
Surely Allah is the Bestower of sustenance, the Lord of Power, the Strong.
|
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.
|
60. |
Therefore woe to those who disbelieve because of their day which they are threatened with.
