Surah “The Winnowing Winds, The Scatterers”

as rendered by [The Monotheist Group] (2011 Edition) — 60 verses

By the winds that blow
Carrying rain
Travelling easily
Distributing as commanded
What you are being promised is true
And the Judgment will come to pass
By the sky that is clear
You are saying what is different
To mislead those who are misled
Woe to the deceitful
Who are in mischief, unaware
They ask: "When is the Day of Judgment"
The Day they ordeal upon the Fire
"Taste this ordeal of yours; this is what you asked to be hastened."
The righteous are in paradises and springs
Receiving what their Lord has bestowed to them, for they were before that pious
They used to rarely sleep the whole night
And before dawn, they would seek forgiveness
An in their money was a portion for the beggar and the needy
And in the Earth are signs for those who comprehend
And within yourselves; do you not se
And in the heaven is your provision, and what you are promised
By the Lord of the heaven and the Earth, this is truth just as the fact that you speak
Has the story of Abraham's noble guests come to yo
When they entered upon him, they said: "Peace." He said: "Peace to a people unknown!"
Then he went to his family and brought a fat roasted calf
He offered it to them, he said: "Do you not eat"
He then became fearful of them. They said: "Do not fear," and they gave him good news of a knowledgeable son
His wife then approached in amazement. She slapped upon her face, and said: "I am a sterile old woman!"
They said: "It was such that your Lord has said. He is the Wise, the Knowledgeable."
He said: "What is your undertaking, O messengers"
They said: "We have been sent to a criminal people."
"To send down upon them rocks of clay."
"Prepared by your Lord for the transgressors."
We then vacated from it all the believers
But We only found in it one house of those who had surrendered
And We have left in it a sign for those who fear the painful retribution
And also Moses, for We sent him to Pharaoh with a clear authority
But he turned away, in arrogance, and he said: "A magician, or crazy."
So We took him and his troops; We cast them into the sea, and he was to blame
And also 'Aad, for We sent upon them the hurricane wind
Anything that it came upon was utterly destroyed
And also Thamud, for it was said to them: "Enjoy for a while."
But they rebelled against the command of their Lord. So the lightning struck them while they were looking
They were unable to rise up, nor could they win
And the people of Noah before; they were a wicked people
And We constructed the universe using matter, and We will expand it
And the Earth We furnished; glory be to the Makers
And from everything We created a pair, perhaps you may remember
So turn towards God. I am to you from Him a clear warner
And do not make any other god with God. I am to you from Him a clear warner
Likewise, when a messenger went to those before them, they said: "A magician, or crazy."
Have they passed down this saying to each other Indeed, they are a wicked people
So turn away from them; you will not be blamed
And remind, for the reminder benefits the believers
I did not create the Jinn and the humans except to serve Me
I need no provisions from them, nor do I need them to give food
God is the Provider, the One with Power, the Supreme
The transgressors will have the same fate as their previous friends; so let them not be hasty
So woe to those who rejected from the Day that is waiting for them
