Surah Adh-Dhariyat

By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing

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

And those [ships] sailing with ease

And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter

Indeed, what you are promised is true

And indeed, the recompense is to occur

By the heaven containing pathways

Indeed, you are in differing speech

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

Destroyed are the falsifiers

Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless

They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense

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

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

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs

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

They used to sleep but little of the night

And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness

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

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

And in yourselves. Then will you not see

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To send down upon them stones of clay

Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers

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

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

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

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

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