In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

"51.1":    I swear by the wind that scatters far and wide,

"51.2":    Then those clouds bearing the load (of minute things in space).

"51.3":    Then those (ships) that glide easily,

"51.4":    Then those (angels who) distribute blessings by Our command;

"51.5":    What you are threatened with is most surely true,

"51.6":    And the judgment must most surely come about.

"51.7":    1 swear by the heaven full of ways.

"51.8":    Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say,

"51.9":    He is turned away from it who would be turned away.

"51.10":    Cursed be the liars,

"51.11":    Who are in a gulf (of ignorance) neglectful;

"51.12":    They ask: When is the day of judgment?

"51.13":    (It is) the day on which they shall be tried at the fire.

"51.14":    Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on.

"51.15":    Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and fountains.

"51.16":    Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good.

"51.17":    They used to sleep but little in the night.

"51.18":    And in the morning they asked forgiveness.

"51.19":    And in their property was a portion due to him who begs and to him who is denied (good).

"51.20":    And in the earth there are signs for those who are sure,

"51.21":    And in your own souls (too); will you not then see?

"51.22":    And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you are threatened with.

"51.23":    And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth! it is most surely the truth, just as you do speak.

"51.24":    Has there come to you information about the honored guests of Ibrahim?

"51.25":    When they entered upon him, they said: Peace. Peace, said he, a strange people.

"51.26":    Then he turned aside to his family secretly and brought a fat (roasted) calf,

"51.27":    So he brought it near them. He said: What! will you not eat?

"51.28":    So he conceived in his mind a fear on account of them. They said: Fear not. And they gave him the good news of a boy possessing knowledge.

"51.29":    Then his wife came up in great grief, and she struck her face and said: An old barren woman!

"51.30":    They said: Thus says your Lord: Surely He is the Wise, the Knowing.

"51.31":    He said: What is your affair then, O messengers!

"51.32":    They said: Surely we are sent to a guilty people,

"51.33":    That we may send down upon them stone of clay,

"51.34":    Sent forth from your Lord for the extravagant.

"51.35":    Then We brought forth such as were therein of the believers.

"51.36":    But We did not find therein save a (single) house of those who submitted (the Muslims).

"51.37":    And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

"51.38":    And in Musa: When We sent him to Firon with clear authority.

"51.39":    But he turned away with his forces and said: A magician or a mad man.

"51.40":    So We seized him and his hosts and hurled them into the sea and he was blamable.

"51.41":    And in Ad: When We sent upon them the destructive wind.

"51.42":    It did not leave aught on which it blew, but it made it like ashes.

"51.43":    And in Samood: When it was said to them: Enjoy yourselves for a while.

"51.44":    But they revolted against the commandment of their Lord, so the rumbling overtook them while they saw.

"51.45":    So they were not able to rise up, nor could they defend themselves --

"51.46":     And the people of Nuh before, surely they were a transgressing people.

"51.47":    And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and most surely We are the makers of things ample.

"51.48":    And the earth, We have made it a wide extent; how well have We then spread (it) out.

"51.49":    And of everything We have created pairs that you may be mindful.

"51.50":    Therefore fly to Allah, surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.

"51.51":    And do not set up with Allah another god: surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.

"51.52":    Thus there did not come to those before them an apostle but they said: A magician or a mad man.

"51.53":    Have they charged each other with this? Nay! they are an inordinate people.

"51.54":    Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame;

"51.55":    And continue to remind, for surely the reminder profits the believers.

"51.56":    And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should serve Me.

"51.57":    1 do not desire from them any sustenance and I do not desire that they should feed Me.

"51.58":    Surely Allah is the Bestower of sustenance, the Lord of Power, the Strong.

"51.59":    So surely those who are unjust shall have a portion like the portion of their companions, therefore let them not ask Me to hasten on.

"51.60":    Therefore woe to those who disbelieve because of their day which they are threatened with.
