فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ

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

51:28 · page 521

فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِيمٍ

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

51:29 · page 521

فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ

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

51:30 · page 521

قَالُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

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

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ

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

51:33 · page 522

لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن طِينٍ

To send down upon them stones of clay,

51:34 · page 522

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ

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

51:35 · page 522

فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

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

51:36 · page 522

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ

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

51:37 · page 522

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

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

51:38 · page 522

وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ

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

51:39 · page 522

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ

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

51:40 · page 522

فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ

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

51:41 · page 522

وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ

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

51:42 · page 522

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ

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

51:43 · page 522

وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

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

51:44 · page 522

فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

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

51:45 · page 522

فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ

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

51:46 · page 522

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَـٰسِقِينَ

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

51:47 · page 522

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ

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

51:48 · page 522

وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَـٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَـٰهِدُونَ

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

51:49 · page 522

وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

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

51:50 · page 522

فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

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

51:51 · page 522

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

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

51:52 · page 523

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

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

51:53 · page 523

أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ

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

51:54 · page 523

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ

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

51:55 · page 523

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

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

51:56 · page 523

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

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

51:57 · page 523

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ

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

51:58 · page 523

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ

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

51:59 · page 523

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَـٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ

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.

51:60 · page 523

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ

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