أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed one
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1
وَٱلذَّٰرِيَـٰتِ ذَرْوًۭا ﴿1﴾
51:1
By the winds scattering ˹dust˺,
2
فَٱلْحَـٰمِلَـٰتِ وِقْرًۭا ﴿2﴾
51:2
and ˹the clouds˺ loaded with rain,
3
فَٱلْجَـٰرِيَـٰتِ يُسْرًۭا ﴿3﴾
51:3
and ˹the ships˺ gliding with ease,
4
فَٱلْمُقَسِّمَـٰتِ أَمْرًا ﴿4﴾
51:4
and ˹the angels˺ administering affairs by ˹Allah’s˺ command!
5
إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌۭ ﴿5﴾
51:5
Indeed, what you are promised is true.
6
وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ ﴿6﴾
51:6
And the Judgment will certainly come to pass.
7
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْحُبُكِ ﴿7﴾
51:7
˹And˺ by the heavens in their marvellous design!1
8
إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى قَوْلٍۢ مُّخْتَلِفٍۢ ﴿8﴾
51:8
Surely you are ˹lost˺ in conflicting views ˹regarding the truth˺.1
9
يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ ﴿9﴾
51:9
Only those ˹destined to be˺ deluded are turned away from it.1
10
قُتِلَ ٱلْخَرَّٰصُونَ ﴿10﴾
51:10
Condemned are the liars—
11
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍۢ سَاهُونَ ﴿11﴾
51:11
those who are ˹steeped˺ in ignorance, totally heedless.
12
يَسْـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿12﴾
51:12
They ask ˹mockingly˺, “When is this Day of Judgment?”
13
يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ ﴿13﴾
51:13
˹It is˺ the Day they will be tormented over the Fire.
14
ذُوقُوا۟ فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ﴿14﴾
51:14
˹They will be told,˺ “Taste your torment! This is what you sought to hasten.”
15
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍ ﴿15﴾
51:15
Indeed, the righteous will be amid Gardens and springs,
16
ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ ﴿16﴾
51:16
˹joyfully˺ receiving what their Lord will grant them. Before this ˹reward˺ they were truly good-doers ˹in the world˺:
17
كَانُوا۟ قَلِيلًۭا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ ﴿17﴾
51:17
they used to sleep only little in the night,
18
وَبِٱلْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ﴿18﴾
51:18
and pray for forgiveness before dawn.1
19
وَفِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ ﴿19﴾
51:19
And in their wealth there was a rightful share ˹fulfilled˺ for the beggar and the poor.
20
وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ءَايَـٰتٌۭ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ ﴿20﴾
51:20
There are ˹countless˺ signs on earth for those with sure faith,
21
وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿21﴾
51:21
as there are within yourselves. Can you not see?
22
وَفِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ ﴿22﴾
51:22
In heaven is your sustenance and whatever you are promised.
23
فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّۭ مِّثْلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ ﴿23﴾
51:23
Then by the Lord of heaven and earth! ˹All˺ this is certainly as true as ˹the fact that˺ you can speak!
24
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْمُكْرَمِينَ ﴿24﴾
51:24
Has the story of Abraham’s honoured guests reached you ˹O Prophet˺?
25
إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمًۭا ۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمٌۭ قَوْمٌۭ مُّنكَرُونَ ﴿25﴾
51:25
˹Remember˺ when they entered his presence and greeted ˹him with˺, “Peace!” He replied, “Peace ˹be upon you˺!” ˹Then he said to himself,˺ “These people must be strangers!”
26
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجْلٍۢ سَمِينٍۢ ﴿26﴾
51:26
Then he slipped off to his family and brought a fat ˹roasted˺ calf,1
27
فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ﴿27﴾
51:27
and placed it before them, asking, “Will you not eat?”
28
فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةًۭ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِيمٍۢ ﴿28﴾
51:28
˹They did not eat,˺ so he grew fearful of them.1 They reassured ˹him˺, “Do not be afraid,” and gave him good news of a knowledgeable son.2
29
فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍۢ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌۭ ﴿29﴾
51:29
Then his wife came forward with a cry, clasping her forehead ˹in astonishment˺, exclaiming, “˹A baby from˺ a barren, old woman!”
30
قَالُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ﴿30﴾
51:30
They replied, “Such has your Lord decreed. He is truly the All-Wise, All-Knowing.”
