Surah 51

وَٱلذَّٰرِيَـٰتِ ذَرْوًا
By the winds scattering ˹dust˺,
1
فَٱلْحَـٰمِلَـٰتِ وِقْرًا
and ˹the clouds˺ loaded with rain,
2
فَٱلْجَـٰرِيَـٰتِ يُسْرًا
and ˹the ships˺ gliding with ease,
3
فَٱلْمُقَسِّمَـٰتِ أَمْرًا
and ˹the angels˺ administering affairs by ˹Allah’s˺ command!
4
إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌ
Indeed, what you are promised is true.
5
وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٌ
And the Judgment will certainly come to pass.
6
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْحُبُكِ
˹And˺ by the heavens in their marvellous design!1
7
إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ
Surely you are ˹lost˺ in conflicting views ˹regarding the truth˺.1
8
يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ
Only those ˹destined to be˺ deluded are turned away from it.1
9
قُتِلَ ٱلْخَرَّٰصُونَ
Condemned are the liars—
10
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ
those who are ˹steeped˺ in ignorance, totally heedless.
11
يَسْـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
They ask ˹mockingly˺, “When is this Day of Judgment?”
12
يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ
˹It is˺ the Day they will be tormented over the Fire.
13
ذُوقُوا۟ فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
˹They will be told,˺ “Taste your torment! This is what you sought to hasten.”
14
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
Indeed, the righteous will be amid Gardens and springs,
15
ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ
˹joyfully˺ receiving what their Lord will grant them. Before this ˹reward˺ they were truly good-doers ˹in the world˺:
16
كَانُوا۟ قَلِيلًا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ
they used to sleep only little in the night,
17
وَبِٱلْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ
and pray for forgiveness before dawn.1
18
وَفِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ
And in their wealth there was a rightful share ˹fulfilled˺ for the beggar and the poor.
19
وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ءَايَـٰتٌ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ
There are ˹countless˺ signs on earth for those with sure faith,
