Surah 51. Adh-Dhariyat

In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful

1. By those that winnow with a winnowing
2. And those that bear the burden
3. And those that glide with ease
4. And those who distribute by command,
5. Lo! that wherewith you are threatened is indeed true,
6. And lo! the judgment will indeed befall.
7. By the heaven full of paths,
8. Lo! you, forsooth, are of various opinion.
9. He is made to turn away from it who is averse.
10. Accursed be the conjecturers
11. Who are careless in an abyss!
12. They ask: When is the Day of Judgment?
13. the day when they will be tormented at the Fire,
14. Taste your torment. This is what you sought to hasten.
15. Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and watersprings.
16. Taking that which their Lord gives them; for lo! before they were doers of good;
17. They used to sleep but tittle of the night,
18. And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness,
19. And in their wealth the beggar the outcast had due share.
20. And in the earth are Signs for those whose faith is sure,
21. And in yourselves. Can you then not see?
22. And in the heaven is your providence and that which you are promised;
23. And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is the truth, even as that you speak.
