بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلذَّٰرِيَٰتِ ذَرْوًۭا ﴿١﴾

Waz-zaariyaati zarwaa

1By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing

فَٱلْحَٰمِلَٰتِ وِقْرًۭا ﴿٢﴾

Falhaamilaati wiqraa

2And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water]

فَٱلْجَٰرِيَٰتِ يُسْرًۭا ﴿٣﴾

Faljaariyaati yusraa

3And those [ships] sailing with ease

فَٱلْمُقَسِّمَٰتِ أَمْرًا ﴿٤﴾

Falmuqassimaati amraa

4And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌۭ ﴿٥﴾

Innamaa too'adoona la-saadiq

5Indeed, what you are promised is true.

وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ ﴿٦﴾

Wa innad deena la waaqi'

6And indeed, the recompense is to occur.

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْحُبُكِ ﴿٧﴾

Wassamaaa'i zaatil hubuk

7By the heaven containing pathways,

إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى قَوْلٍۢ مُّخْتَلِفٍۢ ﴿٨﴾

Innakum lafee qawlim mukhtalif

8Indeed, you are in differing speech.

يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ ﴿٩﴾

Yu'faku 'anhu man ufik

9Deluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded.

قُتِلَ ٱلْخَرَّٰصُونَ ﴿١٠﴾

Qutilal kharraasoon

10Destroyed are the falsifiers

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍۢ سَاهُونَ ﴿١١﴾

Allazeena hum fee ghamratin saahoon

11Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.

يَسْـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿١٢﴾

Yas'aloona ayyaana yawmud Deen

12They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"

يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ ﴿١٣﴾

Yawma hum 'alan naari yuftanoon

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

ذُوقُوا۟ فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ﴿١٤﴾

Zooqoo fitnatakum haa zal lazee kuntum bihee tas ta'jiloon

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

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍ ﴿١٥﴾

Innal muttaqeena fee jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

15Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,

ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٦﴾

Aakhizeena maaa aataahum Rabbuhum; innahum kaanoo qabla zaalika muhsineen

16Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.

كَانُوا۟ قَلِيلًۭا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ ﴿١٧﴾

kaanoo qaleelam minal laili maa yahja'oon

17They used to sleep but little of the night,

وَبِٱلْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ﴿١٨﴾

Wa bilashaari hum yastaghfiroon

18And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,

وَفِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ ﴿١٩﴾

Wa feee amwaalihim haqqul lissaaa'ili walmahroom

19And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.

وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ءَايَٰتٌۭ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ ﴿٢٠﴾

Wa fil ardi aayaatul lilmooqineen

20And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]

وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿٢١﴾

Wa feee anfusikum; afalaa tubsiroon

21And in yourselves. Then will you not see?

وَفِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ ﴿٢٢﴾

Wa fissamaaa'i rizqukum wa maa too'adoon

22And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّۭ مِّثْلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾

Fawa Rabbis samaaa'i wal ardi innahoo lahaqqum misla maa annakum tantiqoon

23Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْمُكْرَمِينَ ﴿٢٤﴾

Hal ataaka hadeesu daifi Ibraaheemal mukrameen

24Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham? -

إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَٰمًۭا ۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٌۭ قَوْمٌۭ مُّنكَرُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾

Iz dakhaloo 'alaihi faqaaloo salaaman qaala salaamun qawmum munkaroon

25When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجْلٍۢ سَمِينٍۢ ﴿٢٦﴾

Faraagha ilaaa ahlihee fajaaa'a bi'ijlin sameen

26Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf

فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾

Faqarrabahooo ilaihim qaala alaa taakuloon

27And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"

فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةًۭ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٍۢ ﴿٢٨﴾

Fa awjasa minhm khee fatan qaaloo laa takhaf wa bashsharoohu bighulaamin 'aleem

28And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍۢ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌۭ ﴿٢٩﴾

Fa aqbalatim ra-atuhoo fee sarratin fasakkat wajhahaa wa qaalat 'ajoozun 'aqeem

29And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"

قَالُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ﴿٣٠﴾

Qaaloo kazaaliki qaala Rabbuki innahoo huwal hakeemul 'aleem

30They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ﴿٣١﴾

Qaala famaa khatbukum ayyuhal mursaloon

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

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍۢ مُّجْرِمِينَ ﴿٣٢﴾

Qaalooo innaaa ursilnaaa ilaa qawmim mujrimeen

32They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةًۭ مِّن طِينٍۢ ﴿٣٣﴾

Linursila 'alaihim hijaa ratam min teen

33To send down upon them stones of clay,

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ ﴿٣٤﴾

Musawwamatan 'inda rabbika lilmusrifeen

34Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٣٥﴾

Fa akhrajnaa man kaana feehaa minal mu'mineen

35So We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers.

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ ﴿٣٦﴾

Famaa wajadnaa feehaa ghaira baitim minal muslimeen

36And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ ﴿٣٧﴾

Wa taraknaa feehaaa aayatal lillazeena yakhaafoonal 'azaabal aleem

37And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ﴿٣٨﴾

Wa fee Moosaaa iz arsalnaahu ilaa Fir'wna bisultaa nim mubeen

38And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌۭ ﴿٣٩﴾

Fatawalla biruknihee wa qaala saahirun aw majnoon

39But he turned away with his supporters and said," A magician or a madman."

فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ ﴿٤٠﴾

Fa akhaznaahu wa junoo dahoo fanabaznaahum fil yammi wa huwa muleem

40So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.

وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ ﴿٤١﴾

Wa fee 'Aadin iz arsalnaa 'alaihimur reehal'aqeem

41And in 'Aad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ ﴿٤٢﴾

Maa tazaru min shai'in atat 'alaihi illaa ja'alat hu karrameem

42It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.

وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿٤٣﴾

Wa fee Samooda iz qeela lahum tamatta''oo hattaa heen

43And in Thamud, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."

فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾

Fa'ataw 'an amri Rabbihim fa akhazal humus saa'iqatu wa hum yanzuroon

44But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.

فَمَا ٱسْتَطَٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍۢ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ ﴿٤٥﴾

Famas tataa'oo min qiyaaminw wa maa kaanoo muntasireen

45And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍۢ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًۭا فَٰسِقِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾

Wa qawma Noohim min qablu innahum kaano qawman faasiqeen

46And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍۢ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾

Wassamaaa'a banainaa haa bi aydinw wa innaa lamoosi'oon

47And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَٰهِدُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾

Wal arda farashnaahaa fani'mal maahidoon

48And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.

وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿٤٩﴾

Wa min kulli shai'in khalaqnaa zawjaini la'allakum tazakkaroon

49And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember.

فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿٥٠﴾

Fafirrooo ilal laahi innee lakum minhu nazeerum mubeen

50So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿٥١﴾

Wa laa taj'aloo ma'al laahi ilaahan aakhara innee lakum minhu nazeerum mubeen

51And do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ ﴿٥٢﴾

Kazaalika maaa atal lazeena min qablihim mir Rasoolin illaa qaaloo saahirun aw majnoon

52Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."

أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌۭ طَاغُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾

Atawaasaw bih; bal hum qawmun taaghoon

53Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍۢ ﴿٥٤﴾

Fatawalla 'anhum famaaa anta bimaloom

54So leave them, [O Muhammad], for you are not to be blamed.

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٥٥﴾

Wa zakkir fa innaz zikraa tanfa'ul mu'mineen

55And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ ﴿٥٦﴾

Wa maa khalaqtul jinna wal insa illaa liya'budoon

56And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍۢ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ ﴿٥٧﴾

Maaa ureedu minhum mir rizqinw wa maaa ureedu anyyut'imoon

57I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ ﴿٥٨﴾

Innal laaha Huwar Razzaaqu Zul Quwwatil Mateen

58Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًۭا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ ﴿٥٩﴾

Fa inna lillazeena zalamoo zanoobam misla zanoobi ashaabihim falaa yasta'jiloon

59And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their predecessors, so let them not impatiently urge Me.

فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ ﴿٦٠﴾

Fawailul lillazeena kafaroo miny yawmihimul lazee yoo'adoon

60And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
