{بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالذَّارِيَاتِ ذَرْوًا}
(1) By the [winds] scattering [dust], dispersing [it]
{ذُوقُوا فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ}
(14) [And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient."
{إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ}
(15) Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,
{آخِذِينَ مَا آتَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ}
(16) Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.
{كَانُوا قَلِيلًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ}
(17) They used to sleep but little of the night,[1538]
{وَبِالْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ}
(18) And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,
{وَفِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ}
(19) And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.
{وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ}
(22) And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.
{فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنْطِقُونَ}
(23) Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.
{هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ}
(24) Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham?[1539] -
{إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا سَلَامًا ۖ قَالَ سَلَامٌ قَوْمٌ مُنْكَرُونَ}
(25) When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace; [you are] a people unknown."
{فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ فَجَاءَ بِعِجْلٍ سَمِينٍ}
(26) Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf.
{فَقَرَّبَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ}
(27) And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"
{فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوا لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَامٍ عَلِيمٍ}
(28) And he felt from them apprehension.[1540] They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.
{فَأَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ فِي صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ}
(29) And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"
{قَالُوا كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ}
(30) They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."
{۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ}
(31) [Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"
{قَالُوا إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُجْرِمِينَ}
(32) They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals[1541]
{مُسَوَّمَةً عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ}
(34) Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."
{فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَنْ كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ}
(35) So We brought out whoever was in them [i.e., the cities] of the believers.
{فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ}
(36) And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.[1542]
{وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَا آيَةً لِلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ}
(37) And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.
{وَفِي مُوسَىٰ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَانٍ مُبِينٍ}
(38) And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.[1543]
{فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِ وَقَالَ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ}
(39) But he turned away with his supporters and said, "A magician or a madman."
{فَأَخَذْنَاهُ وَجُنُودَهُ فَنَبَذْنَاهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ}
(40) So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.
{وَفِي عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّيحَ الْعَقِيمَ}
(41) And in ʿAad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.[1544]
{مَا تَذَرُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيمِ}
(42) It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.
{وَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ}
(43) And in Thamūd, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."
{فَعَتَوْا عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ}
(44) But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.
{فَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا مِنْ قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنْتَصِرِينَ}
(45) And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.
{وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ}
(46) And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.
{وَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ}
(47) And the heaven We constructed with strength,[1545] and indeed, We are [its] expander.
{وَالْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَاهَا فَنِعْمَ الْمَاهِدُونَ}
(48) And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.
{وَمِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ}
(49) And of all things We created two mates [i.e., counterparts]; perhaps you will remember.
{فَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُمْ مِنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ}
(50) So flee to Allāh.[1546] Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.
{وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُمْ مِنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ}
(51) And do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.
{كَذَٰلِكَ مَا أَتَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ}
(52) Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."
{أَتَوَاصَوْا بِهِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ}
(53) Did they suggest it to them?[1547] Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.
{فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَا أَنْتَ بِمَلُومٍ}
(54) So leave them, [O Muḥammad], for you are not to be blamed.
{وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَىٰ تَنْفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ}
(55) And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.
{وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ}
(56) And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
{مَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ رِزْقٍ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ يُطْعِمُونِ}
(57) I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.
{إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ}
(58) Indeed, it is Allāh who is the [continual] Provider,[1548] the firm possessor of strength.
{فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا ذَنُوبًا مِثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ}
(59) And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their companions [i.e., predecessors], so let them not impatiently urge Me.
{فَوَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ يَوْمِهِمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ}
(60) And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
