51: The Winnowing Winds
|
|
51:1
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 |
Accursed are the conjecturers who ask: When is the Day of Judgment?
It is the day they will be tormented by the Fire.
The Fire
|
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. |
Give of your wealth to help the poor.
|
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.
|
(51:37)
"We left behind therein a portent for those who fear a painful doom."
Doom in the Quran
For disbelievers
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)! |
(51:48) "And the earth have We laid out, how gracious is the Spreader (thereof)!"
The earth is flat according to the Quran.
(51:49) "All things We have created by pairs."
This is not true. Many bacteria, protists, fungi, and plants
reproduce asexually.
The words, "I am a plain warner unto you from him," could not have
been spoken by Allah. So how is Allah the author of the Quran?
|
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. |
(51:60) "Woe unto those who disbelieve."
