051.002
And those that bear the burden (of the rain)
051.003
And those that glide with ease (upon the sea)
051.004
And those who distribute (blessings) by command,
051.005
Lo! that wherewith ye are threatened is indeed true,
051.006
And lo! the judgment will indeed befall.
051.007
By the heaven full of paths,
051.008
Lo! ye, forsooth, are of various opinion (concerning the truth).
051.009
He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse.
051.010
Accursed be the conjecturers
051.011
Who are careless in an abyss!
051.012
They ask: When is the Day of Judgment ?
051.013
(It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire,
051.014
(And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten.
051.015
Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and watersprings,
051.016
Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good;
051.017
They used to sleep but little of the night,
051.018
And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness,
051.019
And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share.
051.020
And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure.
051.021
And (also) in yourselves. Can ye then not see ?
051.022
And in the heaven is your providence and that which ye are promised;
051.023
And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is the truth, even as (it is true) that ye speak.
051.024
Hath the story of Abraham's honoured guests reached thee (O Muhammad) ?
051.025
When they came in unto him and said: Peace! he answered, Peace! (and thought): Folk unknown (to me).
051.026
Then he went apart unto his housefolk so that they brought a fatted calf;
051.027
And he set it before them, saying: Will ye not eat ?
051.028
Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! and gave him tidings of (the birth of) a wise son.
051.029
Then his wife came forward, making moan, and smote her face, and cried: A barren old woman!
051.030
They said: Even so saith thy Lord. Lo! He is the Wise, the Knower.
051.031
(Abraham) said: And (afterward) what is your errand, O ye sent (from Allah) ?
051.032
They said: Lo! we are sent unto a guilty folk,
051.033
That we may send upon them stones of clay,
051.034
Marked by thy Lord for (the destruction of) the wanton.
051.035
Then we brought forth such believers as were there.
051.036
But We found there but one house of those surrendered (to Allah).
051.037
And We left behind therein a portent for those who fear a painful doom.
051.038
And in Moses (too, there is a portent) when We sent him unto Pharaoh with clear warrant,
051.039
But he withdrew (confiding) in his might, and said: A wizard or a madman.
051.040
So We seized him and his hosts and flung them in the sea, for he was reprobate.
051.041
And in (the tribe of) A'ad (there is a portent) when we sent the fatal wind against them.
051.042
It spared naught that it reached, but made it (all) as dust.
051.043
And in (the tribe of) Thamud (there is a portent) when it was told them: Take your ease awhile.
051.044
But they rebelled against their Lord's decree, and so the thunderbolt overtook them even while they gazed;
051.045
And they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.
051.046
And the folk of Noah aforetime. Lo! they were licentious folk.
051.047
We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof).
051.048
And the earth have We laid out, how gracious is the Spreader (thereof)!
051.049
And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect.
051.050
Therefor flee unto Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from him.
051.051
And set not any other god along with Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from Him.
051.052
Even so there came no messenger unto those before them but they said: A wizard or a madman!
051.053
Have they handed down (the saying) as an heirloom one unto another ? Nay, but they are froward folk.
051.054
So withdraw from them (O Muhammad), for thou art in no wise blameworthy,
051.055
And warn, for warning profiteth believers.
051.056
I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me.
051.057
I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me.
051.058
Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might.
051.059
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).
051.060
And woe unto those who disbelieve, from (that) their day which they are promised.
