Adh-Dhariyat

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلذَّٰرِيَـٰتِ ذَرْوًا

By those that winnow with a winnowing

فَٱلْحَـٰمِلَـٰتِ وِقْرًا

And those that bear the burden (of the rain)

فَٱلْجَـٰرِيَـٰتِ يُسْرًا

And those that glide with ease (upon the sea)

فَٱلْمُقَسِّمَـٰتِ أَمْرًا

And those who distribute (blessings) by command

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌ

Lo! that wherewith ye are threatened is indeed true

وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٌ

And lo! the judgment will indeed befall

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْحُبُكِ

By the heaven full of paths

إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ

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

يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ

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

قُتِلَ ٱلْخَرَّٰصُونَ

Accursed be the conjecturers

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ

Who are careless in an abyss

يَسْـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

They ask: When is the Day of Judgment

يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ

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

ذُوقُوا۟ فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

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

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

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

ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ

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

كَانُوا۟ قَلِيلًا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ

They used to sleep but little of the night

وَبِٱلْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ

And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness

وَفِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ

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

وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ءَايَـٰتٌ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ

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

وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ

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

وَفِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ

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

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ

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

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْمُكْرَمِينَ

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

إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمًا ۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمٌ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ

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

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ سَمِينٍ

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

فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ

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

فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِيمٍ

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

فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ

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

قَالُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

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

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ

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

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ

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

لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن طِينٍ

That we may send upon them stones of clay

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ

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

فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Then we brought forth such believers as were there

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ

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

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

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

وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ

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

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ

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

فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ

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

وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ

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

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ

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

وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

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

فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

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

فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ

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

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَـٰسِقِينَ

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

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ

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

وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَـٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَـٰهِدُونَ

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

وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

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

فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

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

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

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

كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ

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

أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ

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

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ

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

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And warn, for warning profiteth believers

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

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

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ

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

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ

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

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَـٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ

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)

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ

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