Adh-Dhariyat

By the winds that scatter, the clouds that carry rain, the ships that sail with ease and the angels who share out matters by command: what you are promised is true, and the Judgement will surely happen. The liars ask when that Day is, the Day they will be tormented over the Fire. The righteous will be among gardens and springs. They slept only a little of the night, asked forgiveness before dawn, and gave a right in their wealth to the one who asks and the one deprived. There are signs on the earth and in yourselves. Guests came to Ibrahim and said, “Peace.” He brought them a roasted calf, but they did not eat, and he felt afraid. They gave him good news of a knowing son, and his wife cried out, “A barren old woman!” They were messengers sent to a criminal people, with stones of baked clay. The believers were brought out, from the only house of Muslims in the town. Pharaoh called Musa a magician or a madman and was thrown into the sea. A barren wind came upon ‘Ad, a thunderbolt seized Thamud, and before them were the people of Nuh. Allah built the sky and is expanding it, spread out the earth, and created pairs of everything. So flee to Allah, and set up no other god with Him. “I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me.” He wants no provision from them, for it is Allah who is the Provider. So woe to those who disbelieve, from their promised Day.
