Az-Zariyat


By the winds scattering ˹dust˺,
ﯧﯨ ﰁ​

and ˹the clouds˺ loaded with rain,
ﯪﯫ ﰂ​

and ˹the ships˺ gliding with ease,
ﯭﯮ ﰃ​

and ˹the angels˺ administering affairs by ˹Allah’s˺ command!
ﯰﯱﯲ ﰄ​

Indeed, what you are promised is true.
ﯴﯵﯶ ﰅ​

And the Judgment will certainly come to pass.
ﭑﭒﭓ ﰆ​

˹And˺ by the heavens in their marvellous design!
ﭕﭖﭗﭘ ﰇ​

Surely you are ˹lost˺ in conflicting views ˹regarding the truth˺.
ﭚﭛﭜﭝ ﰈ​

Only those ˹destined to be˺ deluded are turned away from it.
ﭟﭠ ﰉ​

Condemned are the liars—
ﭢﭣﭤﭥﭦ ﰊ​

those who are ˹steeped˺ in ignorance, totally heedless.
ﭨﭩﭪﭫ ﰋ​

They ask ˹mockingly˺, “When is this Day of Judgment?”
ﭭﭮﭯﭰﭱ ﰌ​

˹It is˺ the Day they will be tormented over the Fire.
ﭳﭴﭵﭶﭷﭸﭹ ﰍ​

˹They will be told,˺ “Taste your torment! This is what you sought to hasten.”
ﭻﭼﭽﭾﭿ ﰎ​

Indeed, the righteous will be amid Gardens and springs,
ﮁﮂﮃﮄﮅﮆﮇﮈﮉﮊ ﰏ​

˹joyfully˺ receiving what their Lord will grant them. Before this ˹reward˺ they were truly good-doers ˹in the world˺:
ﮌﮍﮎﮏﮐﮑ ﰐ​

They used to sleep only little in the night,
ﮓﮔﮕ ﰑ​

and pray for forgiveness before dawn.
ﮗﮘﮙﮚﮛ ﰒ​

And in their wealth there was a rightful share ˹fulfilled˺ for the beggar and the poor.
ﮝﮞﮟﮠ ﰓ​

There are ˹countless˺ signs on earth for those with sure faith,
ﮢﮣﮤﮥﮦ ﰔ​

as there are within yourselves. Can you not see?
ﮨﮩﮪﮫﮬ ﰕ​

In heaven is your sustenance and whatever you are promised.
ﮮﮯﮰﮱﯓﯔﯕﯖﯗ ﰖ​

Then by the Lord of heaven and earth! ˹All˺ this is certainly as true as ˹the fact that˺ you can speak!
ﯙﯚﯛﯜﯝﯞ ﰗ​

Has the story of Abraham’s honoured guests reached you ˹O Prophet˺?
ﯠﯡﯢﯣﯤﯥﯦﯧﯨﯩ ﰘ​

˹Remember˺ when they entered his presence and greeted ˹him with˺, “Peace!” He replied, “Peace ˹be upon you˺!” ˹Then he said to himself,˺ “˹These are˺ an unfamiliar people.”
ﯫﯬﯭﯮﯯﯰ ﰙ​

Then he slipped off to his family and brought a fat ˹roasted˺ calf,
ﯲﯳﯴﯵﯶ ﰚ​

and placed it before them, asking, “Will you not eat?”
ﯸﯹﯺﯻﯼﯽﯾﯿﰀﰁﰂ ﰛ​

˹They did not eat,˺ so he grew fearful of them. They reassured ˹him˺, “Do not be afraid,” and gave him good news of a knowledgeable son.
ﰄﰅﰆﰇﰈﰉﰊﰋﰌ ﰜ​

Then his wife came forward with a cry, clasping her forehead ˹in astonishment˺, exclaiming, “˹A baby from˺ a barren, old woman!”
ﰎﰏﰐﰑﰒﰓﰔﰕﰖ ﰝ​

They replied, “Such has your Lord decreed. He is truly the All-Wise, All-Knowing.”
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖ ﰞ​

˹Later,˺ Abraham asked, “What is your mission, O messengers?”
ﭘﭙﭚﭛﭜﭝ ﰟ​

They replied, “We have actually been sent to a wicked people,
ﭟﭠﭡﭢﭣ ﰠ​

to send upon them stones of ˹baked˺ clay,
ﭥﭦﭧﭨ ﰡ​

marked by your Lord for the transgressors.”
ﭪﭫﭬﭭﭮﭯ ﰢ​

Then ˹before the torment˺ We evacuated the believers from the city.
ﭱﭲﭳﭴﭵﭶﭷ ﰣ​

But We only found one family that had submitted ˹to Allah˺.
ﭹﭺﭻﭼﭽﭾﭿ ﰤ​

And We have left a sign there ˹as a lesson˺ for those who fear the painful punishment.
ﮁﮂﮃﮄﮅﮆﮇﮈ ﰥ​

And in ˹the story of˺ Moses ˹was another lesson,˺ when We sent him to Pharaoh with compelling proof,
ﮊﮋﮌﮍﮎﮏ ﰦ​

but Pharaoh was carried away by his power, saying ˹of Moses˺, “A magician or a madman!”
ﮑﮒﮓﮔﮕﮖﮗ ﰧ​

So We seized him and his soldiers, casting them into the sea while he was blameworthy.
ﮙﮚﮛﮜﮝﮞﮟ ﰨ​

And in ˹the story of˺ ’Âd ˹was another lesson,˺ when We sent against them the devastating wind.
ﮡﮢﮣﮤﮥﮦﮧﮨﮩ ﰩ​

There was nothing it came upon that it did not reduce to ashes.
ﮫﮬﮭﮮﮯﮰﮱﯓ ﰪ​

And in ˹the story of˺ Thamûd ˹was another lesson,˺ when they were told, “Enjoy yourselves ˹only˺ for a ˹short˺ while.”
ﯕﯖﯗﯘﯙﯚﯛﯜ ﰫ​

Still they persisted in defying the commands of their Lord, so they were overtaken by a ˹mighty˺ blast while they were looking on.
ﯞﯟﯠﯡﯢﯣﯤ ﰬ​

Then they were not able to rise up, nor were they helped.
ﯦﯧﯨﯩﯪﯫﯬﯭﯮ ﰭ​

And the people of Noah ˹had also been destroyed˺ earlier. They were truly a rebellious people.
ﯰﯱﯲﯳﯴ ﰮ​

We built the universe with ˹great˺ might, and We are certainly expanding ˹it˺.
ﯶﯷﯸﯹ ﰯ​

As for the earth, We spread it out. How superbly did We smooth it out!
ﯻﯼﯽﯾﯿﰀﰁ ﰰ​

And We created pairs of all things so perhaps you would be mindful.
ﰃﰄﰅﰆﰇﰈﰉﰊﰋ ﰱ​

So ˹proclaim, O Prophet˺: “Flee to Allah! I am truly sent by Him with a clear warning to you.
ﰍﰎﰏﰐﰑﰒﰓﰔﰕﰖﰗﰘ ﰲ​

And do not set up another god with Allah. I am truly sent by Him with a clear warning to you.”
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖﭗﭘﭙﭚﭛﭜﭝ ﰳ​

Similarly, no messenger came to those before them without being told: “A magician or a madman!”
ﭟﭠﭡﭢﭣﭤﭥ ﰴ​

Have they passed this ˹cliché˺ down to one another? In fact, they have ˹all˺ been a transgressing people.
ﭧﭨﭩﭪﭫ ﰵ​

So ˹now˺ turn away from them ˹O Prophet˺, for you will not be blamed.
ﭭﭮﭯﭰﭱ ﰶ​

But ˹continue to˺ remind. For certainly reminders benefit the believers.
ﭳﭴﭵﭶﭷﭸ ﰷ​

I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me.
ﭺﭻﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀﮁﮂ ﰸ​

I seek no provision from them, nor do I need them to feed Me.
ﮄﮅﮆﮇﮈﮉﮊ ﰹ​

Indeed, Allah ˹alone˺ is the Supreme Provider—Lord of all Power, Ever Mighty.
ﮌﮍﮎﮏﮐﮑﮒﮓﮔ ﰺ​

The wrongdoers will certainly have a share ˹of the torment˺ like that of their predecessors. So do not let them ask Me to hasten ˹it˺.
ﮖﮗﮘﮙﮚﮛﮜ ﰻ​

Woe then to the disbelievers when they face their Day which they are warned of!
