    51:11 Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.

  12. يَسْـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿١٢﴾

    51:16 Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.

    51:17 They used to sleep but little of the night,

  18. وَبِٱلْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ﴿١٨﴾

    51:18 And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,

  19. وَفِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ ﴿١٩﴾

    51:19 And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.

  21. وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿٢١﴾

    51:21 And in yourselves. Then will you not see?

  22. وَفِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ ﴿٢٢﴾

    51:22 And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.

  23. فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾

    51:23 Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.

  24. هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْمُكْرَمِينَ ﴿٢٤﴾

    51:24 Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham? -

  25. إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمًا ۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمٌ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾

    51:25 When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace; [you are] a people unknown."

  26. فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ سَمِينٍ ﴿٢٦﴾

    51:26 Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf.

  27. فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾

    51:27 And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"

  28. فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِيمٍ ﴿٢٨﴾

    51:28 And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

  29. فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ ﴿٢٩﴾

    51:29 And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"

  30. قَالُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ﴿٣٠﴾

    51:30 They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."

  31. ۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ﴿٣١﴾

    51:31 [Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

  32. قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ ﴿٣٢﴾

    51:32 They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

  33. لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن طِينٍ ﴿٣٣﴾

    51:33 To send down upon them stones of clay,

  34. مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ ﴿٣٤﴾

    51:34 Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

  35. فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٣٥﴾

    51:35 So We brought out whoever was in them [i.e., the cities] of the believers.

  36. فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ ﴿٣٦﴾

    51:36 And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

  37. وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ ﴿٣٧﴾

    51:37 And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

  38. وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿٣٨﴾

    51:38 And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.

  39. فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ ﴿٣٩﴾

    51:39 But he turned away with his supporters and said, "A magician or a madman."

  40. فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ ﴿٤٠﴾

    51:40 So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.

  41. وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ ﴿٤١﴾

    51:41 And in ʿAad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.

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

    51:42 It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.

  43. وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ﴿٤٣﴾

    51:43 And in Thamūd, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."

  44. فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾

    51:44 But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.

  45. فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ ﴿٤٥﴾

    51:45 And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.

  46. وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَـٰسِقِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾

    51:46 And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.

  47. وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾

    51:47 And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

  48. وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَـٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَـٰهِدُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾

    51:48 And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.

  49. وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿٤٩﴾

    51:49 And of all things We created two mates [i.e., counterparts]; perhaps you will remember.

  50. فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٥٠﴾

    51:50 So flee to Allāh. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

  51. وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٥١﴾

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

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

    51:52 Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."

  53. أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾

    51:53 Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.

  54. فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ ﴿٥٤﴾

    51:54 So leave them, [O Muḥammad], for you are not to be blamed.

  55. وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٥٥﴾

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

  56. وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ ﴿٥٦﴾

    51:56 And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

  57. مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ ﴿٥٧﴾

    51:57 I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.

  58. إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ ﴿٥٨﴾

    51:58 Indeed, it is Allāh who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.

  59. فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَـٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ ﴿٥٩﴾

    51:59 And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their companions [i.e., predecessors], so let them not impatiently urge Me.

  60. فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ ﴿٦٠﴾

    51:60 And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
