Surah 51

By (the winds) that scatter dust.

And (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water.

And (the ships) that float with ease and gentleness.

And those (angels) who distribute (provisions, rain, and other blessings) by (Allâh’s) Command.

Verily, that which you are promised (i.e. Resurrection in the Hereafter and receiving the reward or punishment of good or bad deeds) is surely true.

And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen.

By the heaven full of paths,

Certainly, you have different ideas (about Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Qur’ân).

Turned aside therefrom (i.e. from Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Qur’ân) is he who is turned aside (by the Decree and Preordainment القضاء والقدر of Allâh).

Cursed be the liars

Who are under a cover of heedlessness (think not about the gravity of the Hereafter),

They ask: "When will be the Day of Recompense?"

(It will be) a Day when they will be tried (punished i.e. burnt) over the Fire!

"Taste you your trial (punishment i.e. burning)! This is what you used to ask to be hastened!"

Verily, the Muttaqûn (the pious. See V.2:2) will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs (in the Paradise),

Taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinûn (good-doers. See V.2:112).

They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allâh) and praying, with fear and hope].

And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allâh) for forgiveness.

And in their properties there was the right of the Sâ’il (the beggar who asks) and the Mahrûm (the poor who does not ask others)[1].

And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty.
