Adh-Dhariyat
Flee to God
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. By those that scatter in scattering, those that bear a heavy load, those that glide with ease, those that distribute a command: what you are promised is indeed true, and the Retribution will, in truth, fall.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والذريت ذروا فالحملت وقرا فالجريت يسرا فالمقسمت امرا انما توعدون لصادق وان الدين لوقعBy the sky of interwoven paths! You are surely in differing speech: turned away from it is whoever is turned away.
والسما ذات الحبك انكم لفي قول مختلف يوفك عنه من افكMay the conjecturers perish, those who are plunged in blindness, absent-minded!
قتل الخرصون الذين هم في غمره ساهونThey ask: 'When will the Day of Retribution be?' — the day they will be tried over the Fire.
يسلون ايان يوم الدين يوم هم علي النار يفتنون'Taste your trial.'
ذوقوا فتنتكمThis is what you used to seek to hasten.
هذا الذي كنتم به تستعجلونThose who guard themselves are, indeed, in gardens and near springs, receiving what their Guardian has given them.
ان المتقين في جنت وعيون اخذين ما اتيهم ربهمThey were indeed, before that, doers of good.
انهم كانوا قبل ذلك محسنينThey slept but little
كانوا قليلاthroughout the night, finding but little rest.
من اليل ما يهجعونand, in the last hours of the night, they would implore forgiveness.
وبالاسحار هم يستغفرونAnd in their goods there was a due for the one who asks and the one who is deprived [without asking].
وفي امولهم حق للسايل والمحرومAnd on the earth there are signs for those who have certainty,
وفي الارض ايت للموقنينas well as within yourselves.
وفي انفسكمDo you not then see?
افلا تبصرونAnd in the sky is your provision,
وفي السما رزقكمas well as what you are promised. By the Guardian of the sky and the earth, it is surely the truth, just as it is true that you speak.
وما توعدون فورب السما والارض انه لحق مثل ما انكم تنطقونHas the account of Ibrahim's honored guests reached you? When they entered upon him and said: 'Peace!'
هل اتيك حديث ضيف ابرهيم المكرمين اذ دخلوا عليه فقالوا سلماhe said: 'Peace.'
قال سلمPeople I do not recognize.
قوم منكرونHe went discreetly to his household, then brought a fat calf and presented it to them, saying: 'Will you not eat?'
فراغ الي اهله فجا بعجل سمين فقربه اليهم قال الا تاكلونHe then felt, within himself, a fear of them.
فاوجس منهم خيفهThey said: 'Do not fear.'
قالوا لا تخفAnd they gave him good news of a knowledgeable boy.
وبشروه بغلم عليمThen his wife came forward crying out, struck her face, and said: 'An old, barren woman?!'
فاقبلت امراته في صره فصكت وجهها وقالت عجوز عقيمThey said: 'Thus has your Guardian spoken.'
قالوا كذلك قال ربكHe is indeed the Wise, the All-Knowing.
انه هو الحكيم العليمHe said: 'What then is your errand, O envoys?'
قال فما خطبكم ايها المرسلونThey said: 'We have been sent to a severed people, to pour down upon them stones of clay, marked with your Guardian for the excessive people.'
قالوا انا ارسلنا الي قوم مجرمين لنرسل عليهم حجاره من طين مسومه عند ربك للمسرفينWe brought out from it those who believed, but We found in it only one household of those true to God alone; and We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.
فاخرجنا من كان فيها من المومنين فما وجدنا فيها غير بيت من المسلمين وتركنا فيها ايه للذين يخافون العذاب الاليمAnd [there is a sign] in Moussa: when We sent him to Fir'awn with clear authority, he turned away with all his might, and said: 'A worker of illusion, or a deranged one.'
وفي موسي اذ ارسلنه الي فرعون بسلطن مبين فتولي بركنه وقال سحر او مجنونWe seized him, along with his armies, and cast them into the sea, while he was blameworthy.
فاخذنه وجنوده فنبذنهم في اليم وهو مليمAnd for the Recidivists [Aad]: when We sent upon them the barren wind, which left nothing it passed over without reducing it to dust.
وفي عاد اذ ارسلنا عليهم الريح العقيم ما تذر من شي اتت عليه الا جعلته كالرميمAnd in the Depleters [Thamud]: when it was said to them, 'Enjoy yourselves for a while,' but they insolently defied the command of their Guardian, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.
وفي ثمود اذ قيل لهم تمتعوا حتي حين فعتوا عن امر ربهم فاخذتهم الصعقه وهم ينظرونThey could neither rise up nor find help.
فما استطعوا من قيام وما كانوا منتصرينAnd the people of Nuh, before that —
وقوم نوح من قبلthey were, indeed, a people of oversteppers.
انهم كانوا قوما فسقينAnd the sky, We built it with might,
والسما بنينها باييدand We are surely expanding [its vastness].
وانا لموسعونAnd the earth, We spread it out [like a carpet]:
والارض فرشنهاwhat excellent [makers] to arrange it!
فنعم المهدونAnd of every thing, We created a pair, so that you may remember.
ومن كل شي خلقنا زوجين لعلكم تذكرونSo flee to God: I am to you, from Him, a clear warner.
ففروا الي الله اني لكم منه نذير مبينAnd do not place, alongside God, another deity: I am to you, from Him, a clear warner.
ولا تجعلوا مع الله الها اخر اني لكم منه نذير مبينSo it was:
كذلكno messenger came to those before them without their saying: 'A worker of illusion, or a deranged one.'
ما اتي الذين من قبلهم من رسول الا قالوا ساحر او مجنونHave they enjoined it upon one another?
اتواصوا بهThey are rather a people who exceed all measure.
بل هم قوم طاغونSo turn away from them — you will not be blamed at all — and remind,
فتول عنهم فما انت بملوم وذكرfor the reminder benefits the believers.
فان الذكري تنفع المومنينI did not create the Occulted and mankind except to obey Me.
وما خلقت الجن والانس الا ليعبدونI do not want any provision from them, nor do I want them to feed Me.
ما اريد منهم من رزق وما اريد ان يطعمونGod is, indeed, the Provider, the Possessor of strength, the Unshakeable.
ان الله هو الرزاق ذو القوه المتينThose who did injustice will have a share [of punishment] like the share of their companions: so let them not seek to hasten it.
فان للذين ظلموا ذنوبا مثل ذنوب اصحبهم فلا يستعجلونSo woe to those who disown, because of their day which is promised to them.
فويل للذين كفروا من يومهم الذي يوعدون
