Plain text of Sura 51: Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhareyat)

51:0 In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

51:1 The blowing winds.

51:2 Bearing rain.

51:3 Bringing provisions.

51:4 Distributing them as commanded.

51:5 What is promised to you will surely come to pass.

51:6 The Day of Judgment is inevitable.

51:7 Despite the perfectly created sky.

51:8 You continue to dispute the truth.

51:9 Deviating therefrom are the deviators.

51:10 Woe to the falsifiers.

51:11 In their blundering, they are totally heedless.

51:12 They question the Day of Judgment.

51:13 The day they are presented to the fire.

51:14 Taste the retribution; this is what you used to challenge.

51:15 The righteous have deserved gardens and springs.

51:16 They receive their Lord's rewards, for they used to be pious.

51:17 Rarely did they sleep the whole night.

51:18 At dawn, they prayed for forgiveness.

51:19 A portion of their money was set aside for the beggar and the needy.

51:20 The earth is full of signs for those who are certain.

51:21 And within yourselves; can you see?

51:22 In the heaven is your provision, and everything that is promised to you.

51:23 By the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is as true as the fact that you speak.

51:24 Have you noted the history of Abraham's honorable guests?

51:25 They visited him, saying, "Peace." He said, "Peace to you, strangers!"

51:26 He asked his family to prepare a fat calf.

51:27 When he offered it to them, he remarked, "Do you not eat?"

51:28 He harbored fear of them. They said, "Have no fear," and they gave good news of a knowledgeable son.

51:29 His wife was astonished. Noting her wrinkled face: "I am a sterile old woman."

51:30 They said, "Thus said your Lord. He is the Most Wise, the Omniscient."

51:31 He said, "What are you up to, O messengers?"

51:32 They said, "We have been dispatched to criminal people.

51:33 "We will shower them with rocks of clay.

51:34 "Marked by your Lord for the transgressors."

51:35 We then delivered all the believers.

51:36 We did not find in it except one house of submitters.

51:37 We set it up as a lesson for those who fear the painful retribution.

51:38 In Moses (there is a lesson). We sent him to Pharaoh with manifest proofs.

51:39 But he turned away, in arrogance, and said, "Magician, or crazy."

51:40 Consequently, we punished him and his troops. We threw them into the sea, and he is the one to blame.

51:41 In `Aad (there is a lesson). We sent upon them disastrous wind.

51:42 Anything that it came upon was utterly destroyed.

51:43 In Thamoud (there is a lesson). They were told, "Enjoy temporarily."

51:44 They rebelled against the command of their Lord. Consequently, the lightning struck them as they looked.

51:45 They could never get up, nor were they helped.

51:46 And the people of Noah before that; they were wicked people.

"Expansion of the Universe Theory" Confirmed

51:47 We constructed the sky with our hands, and we will continue to expand it.

51:48 And we made the earth habitable; a perfect design.

51:49 We created a pair (male and female) of everything, that you may take heed.

51:50 You shall escape to GOD. I am sent by Him to you as a manifest warner.

51:51 Do not set up beside GOD any other god. I am sent by Him to you as a manifest warner.

51:52 Consistently, when a messenger went to the previous generations, they said, "Magician," or, "Crazy."

51:53 Did they make an agreement with each other? Indeed, they are transgressors.

51:54 You may disregard them; you cannot be blamed.

51:55 And remind, for the reminder benefits the believers.

The Purpose of Our Existence

51:56 I did not create the jinns and the humans except to worship Me alone.

51:57 I need no provisions from them, nor do I need them to feed Me.

51:58 GOD is the Provider, the Possessor of all power, the Supreme.

51:59 The transgressors have incurred the same fate as their previous counterparts; they should not challenge.

51:60 Woe to those who disbelieved from the day that is awaiting them.
