51-1 : In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those that winnow with a winnowing

51-2 : And those that bear the burden (of the rain)

51-3 : And those that glide with ease (upon the sea)

51-4 : And those who distribute (blessings) by command,

51-5 : Lo! that wherewith ye are threatened is indeed true,

51-6 : And lo! the judgment will indeed befall.

51-7 : By the heaven full of paths,

51-8 : Lo! ye, forsooth, are of various opinion (concerning the truth).

51-9 : He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse.

51-10 : Accursed be the conjecturers

51-11 : Who are careless in an abyss!

51-12 : They ask: When is the Day of Judgment ?

51-13 : (It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire,

51-14 : (And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten.

51-15 : Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and watersprings,

51-16 : Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good;

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

51-18 : And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness,

51-19 : And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share.

51-20 : And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure.

51-21 : And (also) in yourselves. Can ye then not see ?

51-22 : And in the heaven is your providence and that which ye are promised;

51-23 : And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is the truth, even as (it is true) that ye speak.

51-24 : Hath the story of Abraham's honoured guests reached thee (O muhammad) ?

51-25 : When they came in unto him and said: Peace! he answered, Peace! (and thought): Folk unknown (to me).

51-26 : Then he went apart unto his housefolk so that they brought a fatted calf;

51-27 : And he set it before them, saying: Will ye not eat ?

51-28 : Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! and gave him tidings of (the birth of) a wise son.

51-29 : Then his wife came forward, making moan, and smote her face, and cried: A barren old woman!

51-30 : They said: Even so saith thy Lord. Lo! He is the Wise, the Knower.

51-31 : (Abraham) said: And (afterward) what is your errand, O ye sent (from Allah) ?

51-32 : They said: Lo! we are sent unto a guilty folk,

51-33 : That we may send upon them stones of clay,

51-34 : Marked by thy Lord for (the destruction of) the wanton.

51-35 : Then we brought forth such believers as were there.

51-36 : But We found there but one house of those surrendered (to Allah).

51-37 : And We left behind therein a portent for those who fear a painful doom.

51-38 : And in Moses (too, there is a portent) when We sent him unto Pharaoh with clear warrant,

51-39 : But he withdrew (confiding) in his might, and said: A wizard or a madman.

51-40 : So We seized him and his hosts and flung them in the sea, for he was reprobate.

51-41 : And in (the tribe of) A'ad (there is a portent) when we sent the fatal wind against them.

51-42 : It spared naught that it reached, but made it (all) as dust.

51-43 : And in (the tribe of) Thamud (there is a portent) when it was told them: Take your ease awhile.

51-44 : But they rebelled against their Lord's decree, and so the thunderbolt overtook them even while they gazed;

51-45 : And they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.

51-46 : And the folk of Noah aforetime. Lo! they were licentious folk.

51-47 : We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof).

51-48 : And the earth have We laid out, how gracious is the Spreader (thereof)!

51-49 : And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect.

51-50 : Therefor flee unto Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from him.

51-51 : And set not any other god along with Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from Him.

51-52 : Even so there came no messenger unto those before them but they said: A wizard or a madman!

51-53 : Have they handed down (the saying) as an heirloom one unto another ? Nay, but they are froward folk.

51-54 : So withdraw from them (O muhammad), for thou art in no wise blameworthy,

51-55 : And warn, for warning profiteth believers.

51-56 : I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me.

51-57 : I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me.

51-58 : Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might.

51-59 : And lo! for those who (now) do wrong there is an evil day like unto the evil day (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on (that day).

51-60 : And woe unto those who disbelieve, from (that) their day which they are promised.
