Adh-Dhariyat

وَٱلذَّ ٰرِیَـٰتِ ذَرۡوࣰا

By those that winnow with a winnowing

فَٱلۡحَـٰمِلَـٰتِ وِقۡرࣰا

And those that bear the burden (of the rain)

فَٱلۡجَـٰرِیَـٰتِ یُسۡرࣰا

And those that glide with ease (upon the sea)

فَٱلۡمُقَسِّمَـٰتِ أَمۡرًا

And those who distribute (blessings) by command

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقࣱ

Lo! that wherewith ye are threatened is indeed true

وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّینَ لَوَ ٰقِعࣱ

And lo! the judgment will indeed befall

وَٱلسَّمَاۤءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡحُبُكِ

By the heaven full of paths

إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِی قَوۡلࣲ مُّخۡتَلِفࣲ

Lo! ye, forsooth, are of various opinion (concerning the truth)

یُؤۡفَكُ عَنۡهُ مَنۡ أُفِكَ

He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse

قُتِلَ ٱلۡخَرَّ ٰصُونَ

Accursed be the conjecturers

ٱلَّذِینَ هُمۡ فِی غَمۡرَةࣲ سَاهُونَ

Who are careless in an abyss

یَسۡءَلُونَ أَیَّانَ یَوۡمُ ٱلدِّینِ

They ask: When is the Day of Judgment

یَوۡمَ هُمۡ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ یُفۡتَنُونَ

(It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire

ذُوقُوا۟ فِتۡنَتَكُمۡ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِی كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

(And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ فِی جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونٍ

Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and watersprings

ءَاخِذِینَ مَاۤ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ قَبۡلَ ذَ ٰلِكَ مُحۡسِنِینَ

Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good

كَانُوا۟ قَلِیلࣰا مِّنَ ٱلَّیۡلِ مَا یَهۡجَعُونَ

They used to sleep but little of the night

وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ یَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ

And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness

وَفِیۤ أَمۡوَ ٰلِهِمۡ حَقࣱّ لِّلسَّاۤئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ

And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share

وَفِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ءَایَـٰتࣱ لِّلۡمُوقِنِینَ

And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure

وَفِیۤ أَنفُسِكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ

And (also) in yourselves. Can ye then not see

وَفِی ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ

And in the heaven is your providence and that which ye are promised

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقࣱّ مِّثۡلَ مَاۤ أَنَّكُمۡ تَنطِقُونَ

And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is the truth, even as (it is true) that ye speak

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِیثُ ضَیۡفِ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِینَ

Hath the story of Abraham's honoured guests reached thee (O Muhammad)

إِذۡ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَیۡهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمࣰاۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمࣱ قَوۡمࣱ مُّنكَرُونَ

When they came in unto him and said: Peace! he answered, Peace! (and thought): Folk unknown (to me)

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰۤ أَهۡلِهِۦ فَجَاۤءَ بِعِجۡلࣲ سَمِینࣲ

Then he went apart unto his housefolk so that they brought a fatted calf

فَقَرَّبَهُۥۤ إِلَیۡهِمۡ قَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

And he set it before them, saying: Will ye not eat

فَأَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِیفَةࣰۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفۡۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِیمࣲ

Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! and gave him tidings of (the birth of) a wise son

فَأَقۡبَلَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ فِی صَرَّةࣲ فَصَكَّتۡ وَجۡهَهَا وَقَالَتۡ عَجُوزٌ عَقِیمࣱ

Then his wife came forward, making moan, and smote her face, and cried: A barren old woman

قَالُوا۟ كَذَ ٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡحَكِیمُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ

They said: Even so saith thy Lord. Lo! He is the Wise, the Knower

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ أَیُّهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ

(Abraham) said: And (afterward) what is your errand, O ye sent (from Allah)

قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّاۤ أُرۡسِلۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمࣲ مُّجۡرِمِینَ

They said: Lo! we are sent unto a guilty folk

لِنُرۡسِلَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةࣰ مِّن طِینࣲ

That we may send upon them stones of clay

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ

Marked by thy Lord for (the destruction of) the wanton

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مَن كَانَ فِیهَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

Then we brought forth such believers as were there

فَمَا وَجَدۡنَا فِیهَا غَیۡرَ بَیۡتࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِینَ

But We found there but one house of those surrendered (to Allah)

وَتَرَكۡنَا فِیهَاۤ ءَایَةࣰ لِّلَّذِینَ یَخَافُونَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِیمَ

And We left behind therein a portent for those who fear a painful doom

وَفِی مُوسَىٰۤ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِسُلۡطَـٰنࣲ مُّبِینࣲ

And in Moses (too, there is a portent) when We sent him unto Pharaoh with clear warrant

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكۡنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونࣱ

But he withdrew (confiding) in his might, and said: A wizard or a madman

فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُمۡ فِی ٱلۡیَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِیمࣱ

So We seized him and his hosts and flung them in the sea, for he was reprobate

وَفِی عَادٍ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمُ ٱلرِّیحَ ٱلۡعَقِیمَ

And in (the tribe of) A'ad (there is a portent) when we sent the fatal wind against them

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَیۡءٍ أَتَتۡ عَلَیۡهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتۡهُ كَٱلرَّمِیمِ

It spared naught that it reached, but made it (all) as dust

وَفِی ثَمُودَ إِذۡ قِیلَ لَهُمۡ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِینࣲ

And in (the tribe of) Thamud (there is a portent) when it was told them: Take your ease awhile

فَعَتَوۡا۟ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمۡ یَنظُرُونَ

But they rebelled against their Lord's decree, and so the thunderbolt overtook them even while they gazed

فَمَا ٱسۡتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِیَامࣲ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِینَ

And they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحࣲ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ قَوۡمࣰا فَـٰسِقِینَ

And the folk of Noah aforetime. Lo! they were licentious folk

وَٱلسَّمَاۤءَ بَنَیۡنَـٰهَا بِأَیۡی۟دࣲ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ

We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof)

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنَـٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَـٰهِدُونَ

And the earth have We laid out, how gracious is the Spreader (thereof)

وَمِن كُلِّ شَیۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَا زَوۡجَیۡنِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ

And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect

فَفِرُّوۤا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّی لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینࣱ

Therefor flee unto Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from him

وَلَا تَجۡعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَۖ إِنِّی لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینࣱ

And set not any other god along with Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from Him

كَذَ ٰلِكَ مَاۤ أَتَى ٱلَّذِینَ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ

Even so there came no messenger unto those before them but they said: A wizard or a madman

أَتَوَاصَوۡا۟ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمࣱ طَاغُونَ

Have they handed down (the saying) as an heirloom one unto another? Nay, but they are froward folk

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَاۤ أَنتَ بِمَلُومࣲ

So withdraw from them (O Muhammad), for thou art in no wise blameworthy

وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

And warn, for warning profiteth believers

وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِیَعۡبُدُونِ

I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me

مَاۤ أُرِیدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقࣲ وَمَاۤ أُرِیدُ أَن یُطۡعِمُونِ

I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِینُ

Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبࣰا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَـٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ

And lo! for those who (now) do wrong there is an evil day like unto the evil day (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on (that day)

فَوَیۡلࣱ لِّلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن یَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِی یُوعَدُونَ

And woe unto those who disbelieve, from (that) their day which they are promised
