Translation of the Holy Koran by Shakir
 
Sura 51 Aya 1 to 60
 
  1   [ 51: 1 ] I swear by the wind that scatters far and wide,
  2   [ 51: 2 ] Then those clouds bearing the load ( of minute things in space ).
  3   [ 51: 3 ] Then those ( ships ) that glide easily,
  4   [ 51: 4 ] Then those ( angels who ) distribute blessings by Our command;
  5   [ 51: 5 ] What you are threatened with is most surely true,
  6   [ 51: 6 ] And the judgment must most surely come about.
  7   [ 51: 7 ] I swear by the heaven full of ways.
  8   [ 51: 8 ] Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say,
  9   [ 51: 9 ] He is turned away from it who would be turned away.
  10   [ 51: 10 ] Cursed be the liars,
  11   [ 51: 11 ] Who are in a gulf ( of ignorance ) neglectful;
  12   [ 51: 12 ] They ask: When is the day of judgment?
  13   [ 51: 13 ] ( It is ) the day on which they shall be tried at the fire.
  14   [ 51: 14 ] Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on.
  15   [ 51: 15 ] Surely those who guard ( against evil ) shall be in gardens and fountains.
  16   [ 51: 16 ] Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good.
  17   [ 51: 17 ] They used to sleep but little in the night.
  18   [ 51: 18 ] And in the morning they asked forgiveness.
  19   [ 51: 19 ] And in their property was a portion due to him who begs and to him who is denied ( good ).
  20   [ 51: 20 ] And in the earth there are signs for those who are sure,
  21   [ 51: 21 ] And in your own souls ( too ); will you not then see?
  22   [ 51: 22 ] And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you are threatened with.
  23   [ 51: 23 ] And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth! it is most surely the truth, just as you do speak.
  24   [ 51: 24 ] Has there come to you information about the honored guests of Ibrahim?
  25   [ 51: 25 ] When they entered upon him, they said: Peace. Peace, said he, a strange people.
  26   [ 51: 26 ] Then he turned aside to his family secretly and brought a fat ( roasted ) calf,
  27   [ 51: 27 ] So he brought it near them. He said: What! will you not eat?
  28   [ 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.
  29   [ 51: 29 ] Then his wife came up in great grief, and she struck her face and said: An old barren woman!
  30   [ 51: 30 ] They said: Thus says your Lord: Surely He is the Wise, the Knowing.
  31   [ 51: 31 ] He said: What is your affair then, O messengers!
  32   [ 51: 32 ] They said: Surely we are sent to a guilty people,
  33   [ 51: 33 ] That we may send down upon them stone of clay,
  34   [ 51: 34 ] Sent forth from your Lord for the extravagant.
  35   [ 51: 35 ] Then We brought forth such as were therein of the believers.
  36   [ 51: 36 ] But We did not find therein save a ( single ) house of those who submitted ( the Muslims ).
  37   [ 51: 37 ] And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.
  38   [ 51: 38 ] And in Musa: When We sent him to Firon with clear authority.
  39   [ 51: 39 ] But he turned away with his forces and said: A magician or a mad man.
  40   [ 51: 40 ] So We seized him and his hosts and hurled them into the sea and he was blamable.
  41   [ 51: 41 ] And in Ad: When We sent upon them the destructive wind.
  42   [ 51: 42 ] It did not leave aught on which it blew, but it made it like ashes.
  43   [ 51: 43 ] And in Samood: When it was said to them: Enjoy yourselves for a while.
  44   [ 51: 44 ] But they revolted against the commandment of their Lord, so the rumbling overtook them while they saw.
  45   [ 51: 45 ] So they were not able to rise up, nor could they defend themselves-
  46   [ 51: 46 ] And the people of Nuh before, surely they were a transgressing people.
  47   [ 51: 47 ] And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and most surely We are the makers of things ample.
  48   [ 51: 48 ] And the earth, We have made it a wide extent; how well have We then spread ( it ) out.
  49   [ 51: 49 ] And of everything We have created pairs that you may be mindful.
  50   [ 51: 50 ] Therefore fly to Allah, surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.
  51   [ 51: 51 ] And do not set up with Allah another god: surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.
  52   [ 51: 52 ] Thus there did not come to those before them a messenger but they said: A magician or a mad man.
  53   [ 51: 53 ] Have they charged each other with this? Nay! they are an inordinate people.
  54   [ 51: 54 ] Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame;
  55   [ 51: 55 ] And continue to remind, for surely the reminder profits the believers.
  56   [ 51: 56 ] And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should serve Me.
  57   [ 51: 57 ] I do not desire from them any sustenance and I do not desire that they should feed Me.
  58   [ 51: 58 ] Surely Allah is the Bestower of sustenance, the Lord of Power, the Strong.
  59   [ 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.
  60   [ 51: 60 ] Therefore woe to those who disbelieve because of their day which they are threatened with.
