Surah Adh-Dhariyat

وَالذَّٰرِيَٰتِ ذَرْوًۭا۝١

By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing

فَالْحَٰمِلَٰتِ وِقْرًۭا۝٢

And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water]

فَالْجَٰرِيَٰتِ يُسْرًۭا۝٣

And those [ships] sailing with ease

فَالْمُقَسِّمَٰتِ أَمْرًا۝٤

And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌۭ۝٥

Indeed, what you are promised is true.

وَإِنَّ الدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ۝٦

And indeed, the recompense is to occur.

وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الْحُبُكِ۝٧

By the heaven containing pathways,

إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى قَوْلٍۢ مُّخْتَلِفٍۢ۝٨

Indeed, you are in differing speech.

يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ۝٩

Deluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded.

قُتِلَ الْخَرَّٰصُونَ۝١٠

Destroyed are the falsifiers

الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍۢ سَاهُونَ۝١١

Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.

يَسْـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الدِّينِ۝١٢

They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"

يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ۝١٣

[It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire

ذُوقُوا۟ فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَٰذَا الَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ۝١٤

[And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient."

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍ۝١٥

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,

ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ۝١٦

Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.

كَانُوا۟ قَلِيلًۭا مِّنَ الَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ۝١٧

They used to sleep but little of the night,

وَبِالْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ۝١٨

And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,

وَفِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ۝١٩

And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.

وَفِى الْأَرْضِ ءَايَٰتٌۭ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ۝٢٠

And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]

وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ۝٢١

And in yourselves. Then will you not see?

وَفِى السَّمَآءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ۝٢٢

And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.

فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَآءِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّۭ مِّثْلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ۝٢٣

Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ۝٢٤

Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham? -

إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَٰمًۭا ۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٌۭ قَوْمٌۭ مُّنكَرُونَ۝٢٥

When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجْلٍۢ سَمِينٍۢ۝٢٦

Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf

فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ۝٢٧

And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"

فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةًۭ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٍۢ۝٢٨

And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

فَأَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍۢ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌۭ۝٢٩

And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"

قَالُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ۝٣٠

They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ۝٣١

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍۢ مُّجْرِمِينَ۝٣٢

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةًۭ مِّن طِينٍۢ۝٣٣

To send down upon them stones of clay,

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ۝٣٤

Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ۝٣٥

So We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers.

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍۢ مِّنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ۝٣٦

And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ۝٣٧

And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ۝٣٨

And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌۭ۝٣٩

But he turned away with his supporters and said," A magician or a madman."

فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُمْ فِى الْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ۝٤٠

So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.

وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّيحَ الْعَقِيمَ۝٤١

And in 'Aad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيمِ۝٤٢

It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.

وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ۝٤٣

And in Thamud, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."

فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ۝٤٤

But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.

فَمَا اسْتَطَٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍۢ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ۝٤٥

And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍۢ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًۭا فَٰسِقِينَ۝٤٦

And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.

وَالسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍۢ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ۝٤٧

And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

وَالْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَٰهَا فَنِعْمَ الْمَٰهِدُونَ۝٤٨

And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.

وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ۝٤٩

And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember.

فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ۝٥٠

So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ۝٥١

And do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ۝٥٢

Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."

أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌۭ طَاغُونَ۝٥٣

Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍۢ۝٥٤

So leave them, [O Muhammad], for you are not to be blamed.

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ۝٥٥

And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ۝٥٦

And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍۢ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ۝٥٧

I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ۝٥٨

Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًۭا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ۝٥٩

And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their predecessors, so let them not impatiently urge Me.

فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ الَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ۝٦٠

And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
