Surah Adh-Dhaariyat

وَالذّٰرِيٰتِ ذَرْوًا ۝١ۙ

1By the scattering [winds] that scatter [the clouds];

فَالْحٰمِلٰتِ وِقْرًا ۝٢ۙ

2by the [rain] bearing [clouds] laden [with water];

فَالْجٰرِيٰتِ يُسْرًا ۝٣ۙ

3by [the ships] which move gently [on the sea];

فَالْمُقَسِّمٰتِ اَمْرًا ۝٤ۙ

4by [the angels] who dispense [livelihood] by [His] command:

اِنَّمَا تُوْعَدُوْنَ لَصَادِقٌ ۝٥ۙ

5indeed what you are promised is true,

وَّاِنَّ الدِّيْنَ لَوَاقِعٌ ۝٦ؕ

6and indeed the retribution will surely come to pass!

وَالسَّمَا࢜ءِ ذَاتِ الْحُبُكِ ۝٧ۙ

7By the sky full of adornment [with stars],

اِنَّكُمْ لَفِيْ قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ ۝٨ۙ

8indeed you are of different opinions!

يُّو͏ٔ͏ْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ اُفِكَ ۝٩ؕ

9He who has been turned away [from the truth] is turned away from it.

قُتِلَ الْخَرّٰصُوْنَ ۝١٠ۙ

10Perish the liars,

الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ فِيْ غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُوْنَ ۝١١ۙ

11who are heedless in a stupor!

يَسْـَٔلُوْنَ اَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الدِّيْنِ ۝١٢ؕ

12They ask, ‘When will be the Day of Retribution?’

يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَي النَّارِ يُفْتَنُوْنَ ۝١٣

13It is the day when they will be tormented in the Fire,

ذُوْقُوْا فِتْنَتَكُمْؕ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ ۝١٤

14[and will be told]: ‘Taste your torment. This is what you used to hasten.’

اِنَّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ فِيْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوْنٍ ۝١٥ۙ

15Indeed the Godwary will be amid gardens and springs,

اٰخِذِيْنَ مَا͏ٓ اٰتٰىهُمْ رَبُّهُمْؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَبْلَ ذٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِيْنَ ۝١٦ؕ

16receiving what their Lord has given them, for they had been virtuous aforetime.

كَانُوْا قَلِيْلًا مِّنَ الَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُوْنَ ۝١٧

17They used to sleep a little during the night,

وَبِالْاَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ ۝١٨

18and at dawns they would plead for forgiveness,

وَفِيْٓ اَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِّلسَّا࢜ىِٕلِ وَالْمَحْرُوْمِ ۝١٩

19and there was a share in their wealth for the beggar and the deprived.

وَفِي الْاَرْضِ اٰيٰتٌ لِّلْمُوْقِنِيْنَ ۝٢٠ۙ

20In the earth are signs for those who have conviction,

وَفِيْٓ اَنْفُسِكُمْؕ اَفَلَا تُبْصِرُوْنَ ۝٢١

21and in your souls [as well]. Will you not then perceive?

وَفِي السَّمَا࢜ءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوْعَدُوْنَ ۝٢٢

22And in the sky is your provision and what you are promised.

فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَا࢜ءِ وَالْاَرْضِ اِنَّهٗ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَا͏ٓ اَنَّكُمْ تَنْطِقُوْنَ ۝٢٣ࣖ

23By the Lord of the sky and the earth, it is indeed the truth, just as [it is a fact that] you speak.

هَلْ اَتٰىكَ حَدِيْثُ ضَيْفِ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ الْمُكْرَمِيْنَ ۝٢٤ۘ

24Did you receive the story of Abraham’s honoured guests?

اِذْ دَخَلُوْا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوْا سَلٰمًاؕ قَالَ سَلٰمٌۚ قَوْمٌ مُّنْكَرُوْنَ ۝٢٥

25When they entered into his presence, they said, ‘Peace!’ ‘Peace!’ He answered, ‘[You are] an unfamiliar folk.’

فَرَاغَ اِلٰٓي اَهْلِهٖ فَجَا࢜ءَ بِعِجْلٍ سَمِيْنٍ ۝٢٦ۙ

26Then he retired to his family and brought a fat [roasted] calf,

فَقَرَّبَهٗٓ اِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ اَلَا تَاْكُلُوْنَ ۝٢٧ؗ

27and put it near them. He said, ‘Will you not eat?’

فَاَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيْفَةًؕ قَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْؕ وَبَشَّرُوْهُ بِغُلٰمٍ عَلِيْمٍ ۝٢٨

28Then he felt a fear of them. They said, ‘Do not be afraid!’ and they gave him the good news of a wise son.

فَاَقْبَلَتِ امْرَاَتُهٗ فِيْ صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوْزٌ عَقِيْمٌ ۝٢٩

29Then his wife came forward crying [with joy]. She beat her face, and said, ‘A barren old woman!’

قَالُوْا كَذٰلِكِۙ قَالَ رَبُّكِؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْحَكِيْمُ الْعَلِيْمُ ۝٣٠

30They said, ‘So has your Lord said. Indeed He is the All-wise, the All-knowing.’

قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ اَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ ۝٣١

31He said, ‘O messengers, what is now your errand?’

قَالُوْٓا اِنَّا͏ٓ اُرْسِلْنَا͏ٓ اِلٰي قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِيْنَ ۝٣٢ۙ

32They said, ‘We have been sent toward a guilty people,

لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّنْ طِيْنٍ ۝٣٣ۙ

33that We may rain upon them stones of clay,

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِيْنَ ۝٣٤

34sent for the transgressors from your Lord.

فَاَخْرَجْنَا مَنْ كَانَ فِيْهَا مِنَ الْمُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنِيْنَ ۝٣٥ۚ

35So We picked out those who were in it of the faithful,

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيْهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ ۝٣٦ۚ

36but We did not find there other than one house of Muslims,

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيْهَا͏ٓ اٰيَةً لِّلَّذِيْنَ يَخَافُوْنَ الْعَذَابَ الْاَلِيْمَ ۝٣٧ؕ

37and We have left therein a sign for those who fear a painful punishment.’

وَفِيْ مُوْسٰٓي اِذْ اَرْسَلْنٰهُ اِلٰي فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ۝٣٨

38And in Moses [too there is a sign] when We sent him to Pharaoh with a manifest authority.

فَتَوَلّٰي بِرُكْنِهٖ وَقَالَ سٰحِرٌ اَوْ مَجْنُوْنٌ ۝٣٩

39But he turned away assured of his might, and said, ‘A magician or a crazy man!’

فَاَخَذْنٰهُ وَجُنُوْدَهٗ فَنَبَذْنٰهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيْمٌ ۝٤٠ؕ

40So We seized him and his hosts, and cast them into the sea, while he was blameworthy.

وَفِيْ عَادٍ اِذْ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّيْحَ الْعَقِيْمَ ۝٤١ۚ

41And in ‘Ad when We unleashed upon them a barren wind.

مَا تَذَرُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ اَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ اِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيْمِ ۝٤٢ؕ

42It left nothing that it came upon without making it like decayed bones.

وَفِيْ ثَمُوْدَ اِذْ قِيْلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوْا حَتّٰي حِيْنٍ ۝٤٣

43And in Thamud, when they were told, ‘Enjoy for a while.’

فَعَتَوْا عَنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الصّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ ۝٤٤

44Then they defied the command of their Lord; so the thunderbolt seized them as they looked on.

فَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوْا مِنْ قِيَامٍ وَّمَا كَانُوْا مُنْتَصِرِيْنَ ۝٤٥ۙ

45So they were neither able to rise up, nor to come to one another’s aid.

وَقَوْمَ نُوْحٍ مِّنْ قَبْلُؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا فٰسِقِيْنَ ۝٤٦ࣖ

46And the people of Noah aforetime. Indeed, they were a transgressing lot.

وَالسَّمَا࢜ءَ بَنَيْنٰهَا بِاَيْىدٍ وَّاِنَّا لَمُوْسِعُوْنَ ۝٤٧

47We have built the heaven with might, and indeed it is We who are its expanders.

وَالْاَرْضَ فَرَشْنٰهَا فَنِعْمَ الْمٰهِدُوْنَ ۝٤٨

48And We have spread out the earth, so how excellent spreaders We have been!

وَمِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۝٤٩

49In all things We have created pairs so that you may take admonition.

فَفِرُّوْٓا اِلَي اللّٰهِؕ اِنِّيْ لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۝٥٠ۚ

50‘So flee toward Allah. Indeed, I am from Him a manifest warner to you.

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوْا مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَؕ اِنِّيْ لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۝٥١

51Do not set up another god besides Allah. Indeed I am from Him a manifest warner to you.’

كَذٰلِكَ مَا͏ٓ اَتَي الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِّنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا قَالُوْا سَاحِرٌ اَوْ مَجْنُوْنٌ ۝٥٢ۚ

52So it was that there did not come any apostle to those who were before them but they said, ‘A magician,’ or ‘A crazy man!’

اَتَوَاصَوْا بِهٖۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُوْنَ ۝٥٣ۚ

53Did they enjoin this upon one another?! Rather, they were a rebellious lot.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَا͏ٓ اَنْتَ بِمَلُوْمٍ ۝٥٤ࣗؗ

54So turn away from them, as you will not be blameworthy.

وَّذَكِّرْ فَاِنَّ الذِّكْرٰي تَنْفَعُ الْمُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنِيْنَ ۝٥٥

55And admonish, for admonition indeed benefits the faithful.

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْاِنْسَ اِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوْنِ ۝٥٦

56I did not create the jinn and the humans except that they may worship Me.

مَا͏ٓ اُرِيْدُ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ رِّزْقٍ وَّمَا͏ٓ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ يُّطْعِمُوْنِ ۝٥٧

57I desire no provision from them, nor do I desire that they should feed Me.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِيْنُ ۝٥٨

58Indeed it is Allah who is the All-provider, Powerful and All-strong.

فَاِنَّ لِلَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا ذَنُوْبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوْبِ اَصْحٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُوْنِ ۝٥٩

59Indeed the lot of those who do wrong [now] will be like the lot of their [earlier] counterparts. So let them not ask Me to hasten on [that fate].

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ يَّوْمِهِمُ الَّذِيْ يُوْعَدُوْنَ ۝٦٠ࣖ

60Woe to the faithless for the day they are promised!
