The Winnowing Winds, The Scatterers — Dr Kamal Omar Translation – Parallel Quran

1 Falsehood is doomed

وَٱلذَّ ٰرِیَـٰتِ ذَرۡوࣰا ۝١

Those that scatter to full scattering act as a witness

wal-dhāriyāti dharwa

فَٱلۡحَـٰمِلَـٰتِ وِقۡرࣰا ۝٢

then those that bear heavy burden

fal-ḥāmilāti wiq'ra

فَٱلۡجَـٰرِیَـٰتِ یُسۡرࣰا ۝٣

then those that float with ease and gentleness

fal-jāriyāti yus'ra

فَٱلۡمُقَسِّمَـٰتِ أَمۡرًا ۝٤

then those that distribute (the) matter

fal-muqasimāti amra

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقࣱ ۝٥

Definitely what you are promised is surely true

innamā tūʿadūna laṣādiqu

وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّینَ لَوَ ٰقِعࣱ ۝٦

And indeed the Judgement is sure to happen

wa-inna l-dīna lawāqiʿu

وَٱلسَّمَاۤءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡحُبُكِ ۝٧

The heaven full of paths and tracks is a (sure) witness

wal-samāi dhāti l-ḥubuk

إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِی قَوۡلࣲ مُّخۡتَلِفࣲ ۝٨

certainly, you are surely discordant in (your) utterance

innakum lafī qawlin mukh'talifi

یُؤۡفَكُ عَنۡهُ مَنۡ أُفِكَ ۝٩

Is turned against it (i.e., against the Book of Allah) that one who is turned aside because of falsehood and forgery

yu'faku ʿanhu man ufik

قُتِلَ ٱلۡخَرَّ ٰصُونَ ۝١٠

Have been annihilated those who indulge in mythology and falsehood—

qutila l-kharāṣūn

ٱلَّذِینَ هُمۡ فِی غَمۡرَةࣲ سَاهُونَ ۝١١

those who being in stupor are heedless (of the Scripture)

alladhīna hum fī ghamratin sāhūn

یَسۡءَلُونَ أَیَّانَ یَوۡمُ ٱلدِّینِ ۝١٢

They ask: “When will be the Day of Judgment?”

yasalūna ayyāna yawmu l-dīn

یَوۡمَ هُمۡ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ یُفۡتَنُونَ ۝١٣

The Day they are put to torture over the Fire

yawma hum ʿalā l-nāri yuf'tanūn

ذُوقُوا۟ فِتۡنَتَكُمۡ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِی كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ۝١٤

“Taste you your torture! This is what you desired to be hastened.”

dhūqū fit'natakum hādhā alladhī kuntum bihi tastaʿjilūn

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ فِی جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونٍ ۝١٥

Surely, Al-Muttaqun (will be) in the Gardens and springs

inna l-mutaqīna fī jannātin waʿuyūni

ءَاخِذِینَ مَاۤ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ قَبۡلَ ذَ ٰلِكَ مُحۡسِنِینَ ۝١٦

as those who receive and enjoy what their Nourisher-Sustainer has bestowed unto them. Verily, they used to be Muhsinun

ākhidhīna mā ātāhum rabbuhum innahum kānū qabla dhālika muḥ'sinīn

كَانُوا۟ قَلِیلࣰا مِّنَ ٱلَّیۡلِ مَا یَهۡجَعُونَ ۝١٧

They are — a small period out of the night which they pass in rest and sleep

kānū qalīlan mina al-layli mā yahjaʿūn

وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ یَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ ۝١٨

And in the hours just before dawn, they ask (Allah) for forgiveness

wabil-asḥāri hum yastaghfirūn

وَفِیۤ أَمۡوَ ٰلِهِمۡ حَقࣱّ لِّلسَّاۤىِٕلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ ۝١٩

And in their possessions remains a specified share for that who asks (for assistance) and (is) unpossessed (of the basic needs)

wafī amwālihim ḥaqqun lilssāili wal-maḥrūm

وَفِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ءَایَـٰتࣱ لِّلۡمُوقِنِینَ ۝٢٠

And within the earth are signs for those who are seehead of state certainty in Faith

wafī l-arḍi āyātun lil'mūqinīn

وَفِیۤ أَنفُسِكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ۝٢١

and (even) in your ownselves. Will you not then see

wafī anfusikum afalā tub'ṣirūn

وَفِی ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ ۝٢٢

And in the heaven is (the source of) your provision, and that which you are promised

wafī l-samāi riz'qukum wamā tūʿadūn

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقࣱّ مِّثۡلَ مَاۤ أَنَّكُمۡ تَنطِقُونَ ۝٢٣

Then by (the) Nourisher-Sustainer of the heaven and the earth! Definitely it (the Day of Judgement) is sure truth similar to what as you speak

fawarabbi l-samāi wal-arḍi innahu laḥaqqun mith'la mā annakum tanṭiqūn

2 Fate of Previous Nations

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِیثُ ضَیۡفِ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِینَ ۝٢٤

Has the Hadees of the guests of Ibrahim reached you— honoured individuals (out of the angels)

hal atāka ḥadīthu ḍayfi ib'rāhīma l-muk'ramīn

إِذۡ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَیۡهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمࣰاۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمࣱ قَوۡمࣱ مُّنكَرُونَ ۝٢٥

When they entered in his presence and said: “Salam [peace (and blessing be upon you)].” (Ibrahim) said: “Salam.” (He thought in his mind): ‘a nation of nonfamiliar people!’

idh dakhalū ʿalayhi faqālū salāman qāla salāmun qawmun munkarūn

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰۤ أَهۡلِهِۦ فَجَاۤءَ بِعِجۡلࣲ سَمِینࣲ ۝٢٦

Then he turned to his household, and returned with (a portion of) a healthy, fatty (roasted) calf

farāgha ilā ahlihi fajāa biʿij'lin samīni

فَقَرَّبَهُۥۤ إِلَیۡهِمۡ قَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ۝٢٧

Then he brought it close to them; (but when they touched it not) he said: “Will you not eat?”

faqarrabahu ilayhim qāla alā takulūn

فَأَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِیفَةࣰۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفۡۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِیمࣲ ۝٢٨

Then he conceived a fear of them. (The angels) said: “Fear not.” And they transmitted him the glad tidings (about the conception and birth) of a male offspring, gifted with deep knowledge

fa-awjasa min'hum khīfatan qālū lā takhaf wabasharūhu bighulāmin ʿalīmi

فَأَقۡبَلَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ فِی صَرَّةࣲ فَصَكَّتۡ وَجۡهَهَا وَقَالَتۡ عَجُوزٌ عَقِیمࣱ ۝٢٩

Then (Ibrahim’s) wife moved forward in emotional excitement and brought her hand over her face in the normal style exhibiting wonder, and uttered: “(What a news for one who is) at extreme of age and (is) infertile!”

fa-aqbalati im'ra-atuhu fī ṣarratin faṣakkat wajhahā waqālat ʿajūzun ʿaqīmu

قَالُوا۟ كَذَ ٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡحَكِیمُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ ۝٣٠

(The angels) said (to the wife): “Thus has uttered your Nourisher-Sustainer! Without doubt He is All-Wise, All-Knowing,”

qālū kadhāliki qāla rabbuki innahu huwa l-ḥakīmu l-ʿalīm

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ أَیُّهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ ۝٣١

(Ibrahim) said: “So, what is your mission, O you who have been sent?”

qāla famā khaṭbukum ayyuhā l-mur'salūn

قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّاۤ أُرۡسِلۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمࣲ مُّجۡرِمِینَ ۝٣٢

(The angels) said: “Surely we, we have been sent to the nation of sinners

qālū innā ur'sil'nā ilā qawmin muj'rimīn

لِنُرۡسِلَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةࣰ مِّن طِینࣲ ۝٣٣

so that we may shower over them stones of clay

linur'sila ʿalayhim ḥijāratan min ṭīni

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ ۝٣٤

(stored and) marked with your Nourisher-Sustainer for those who commit excesses. ”

musawwamatan ʿinda rabbika lil'mus'rifīn

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مَن كَانَ فِیهَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝٣٥

So We brought out (to safety) that who was therein out of the Believers

fa-akhrajnā man kāna fīhā mina l-mu'minīn

فَمَا وَجَدۡنَا فِیهَا غَیۡرَ بَیۡتࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِینَ ۝٣٦

But We found not therein other than (only) one house out of the Muslims

famā wajadnā fīhā ghayra baytin mina l-mus'limīn

وَتَرَكۡنَا فِیهَاۤ ءَایَةࣰ لِّلَّذِینَ یَخَافُونَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِیمَ ۝٣٧

And therein (i.e., within this incident) We left a sign for those who fear the painful torment

wataraknā fīhā āyatan lilladhīna yakhāfūna l-ʿadhāba l-alīm

وَفِی مُوسَىٰۤ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِسُلۡطَـٰنࣲ مُّبِینࣲ ۝٣٨

And in (the incident of) Musa (there is also a lesson) when We sent him to Firaun with Sultanin Mobin (‘Manifest Power’)

wafī mūsā idh arsalnāhu ilā fir'ʿawna bisul'ṭānin mubīni

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكۡنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونࣱ ۝٣٩

But (Firaun) turned away in the pride of might and power, and said: “(This Messenger is) a sorcerer or a fanatic.”

fatawallā biruk'nihi waqāla sāḥirun aw majnūnu

فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُمۡ فِی ٱلۡیَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِیمࣱ ۝٤٠

So We seized him and his military forces; then We threw them (all) into the sea, while he was one who blamed (his ownself)

fa-akhadhnāhu wajunūdahu fanabadhnāhum fī l-yami wahuwa mulīmu

وَفِی عَادٍ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمُ ٱلرِّیحَ ٱلۡعَقِیمَ ۝٤١

And in (the destruction of) the ’Ad (-people is also a lesson) when We directed against them a destroying wind (-storm)

wafī ʿādin idh arsalnā ʿalayhimu l-rīḥa l-ʿaqīm

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَیۡءٍ أَتَتۡ عَلَیۡهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتۡهُ كَٱلرَّمِیمِ ۝٤٢

it spares not of anything over which it blew, except that it turned it into something like a destroyed and decomposed matter

mā tadharu min shayin atat ʿalayhi illā jaʿalathu kal-ramīm

وَفِی ثَمُودَ إِذۡ قِیلَ لَهُمۡ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِینࣲ ۝٤٣

And in (the incident of) Samud (there is also a lesson) when it was said unto them: “Enjoy yourself for a limited period.”

wafī thamūda idh qīla lahum tamattaʿū ḥattā ḥīni

فَعَتَوۡا۟ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمۡ یَنظُرُونَ ۝٤٤

Then they insolently defied the command of their Nourisher-Sustainer, so the Sa’iqa (thunder-bolt) overtook them while they were loohead of state on

faʿataw ʿan amri rabbihim fa-akhadhathumu l-ṣāʿiqatu wahum yanẓurūn

فَمَا ٱسۡتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِیَامࣲ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِینَ ۝٤٥

So they could not be able to continue (their existence), and they did not behave as those who acquire assistance and aid and then take revenge

famā is'taṭāʿū min qiyāmin wamā kānū muntaṣirīn

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحࣲ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ قَوۡمࣰا فَـٰسِقِینَ ۝٤٦

And the nation of Nuh since before: they had remained a nation of Fasiqun

waqawma nūḥin min qablu innahum kānū qawman fāsiqīn

3 Judgment is sure

وَٱلسَّمَاۤءَ بَنَیۡنَـٰهَا بِأَیۡی۟دࣲ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ۝٤٧

And the heaven: We constructed it with (Our Own) hands; and surely We are indeed those Who make expansion and create vastness

wal-samāa banaynāhā bi-aydin wa-innā lamūsiʿūn

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنَـٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَـٰهِدُونَ ۝٤٨

And the earth: We spread it out; so what Excellent Spreaders (We are)

wal-arḍa farashnāhā faniʿ'ma l-māhidūn

وَمِن كُلِّ شَیۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَا زَوۡجَیۡنِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٤٩

And to every thing We have created pairs, perchance you may remind (yourselves and remind others)

wamin kulli shayin khalaqnā zawjayni laʿallakum tadhakkarūn

فَفِرُّوۤا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّی لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ۝٥٠

So run swiftly towards Allah. Verily, I am unto you, from Him, a warner — plain (and evident)

fafirrū ilā l-lahi innī lakum min'hu nadhīrun mubīnu

وَلَا تَجۡعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَۖ إِنِّی لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ۝٥١

And do not set up alongwith Allah another ilahan (god). Verily, I am unto you, from Him, a warner — plain (and evident)

walā tajʿalū maʿa l-lahi ilāhan ākhara innī lakum min'hu nadhīrun mubīnu

كَذَ ٰلِكَ مَاۤ أَتَى ٱلَّذِینَ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ ۝٥٢

Likewise, there did not come to those before them, out of a Messenger, but they said (about him): “A sorcerer or a fanatic.”

kadhālika mā atā alladhīna min qablihim min rasūlin illā qālū sāḥirun aw majnūnu

أَتَوَاصَوۡا۟ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمࣱ طَاغُونَ ۝٥٣

Have these people bequeathed one another about it? Nay, they are a nation of those who transgress beyond bounds

atawāṣaw bihi bal hum qawmun ṭāghūn

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَاۤ أَنتَ بِمَلُومࣲ ۝٥٤

So turn away from them (who are stubborn opponents), then you are not (to be regarded as) a blamed one

fatawalla ʿanhum famā anta bimalūmi

وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝٥٥

And remind (the Believers); for verily, reminding does benefit the Believers

wadhakkir fa-inna l-dhik'rā tanfaʿu l-mu'minīn

وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِیَعۡبُدُونِ ۝٥٦

And I did not create jinns and mankind except that they may obey Me

wamā khalaqtu l-jina wal-insa illā liyaʿbudūn

مَاۤ أُرِیدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقࣲ وَمَاۤ أُرِیدُ أَن یُطۡعِمُونِ ۝٥٧

I do not desire any provision from them, and I do not desire that they may feed Me

mā urīdu min'hum min riz'qin wamā urīdu an yuṭ'ʿimūn

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِینُ ۝٥٨

Verily, Allah: He is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong

inna l-laha huwa l-razāqu dhū l-quwati l-matīn

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبࣰا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَـٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ ۝٥٩

So verily, for those who have transgressed (are the accumulated) sins (with all their resultant effects) similar to the sins of their colleagues (in crimes). So let them not ask Me to hasten on (the resultant punishment)

fa-inna lilladhīna ẓalamū dhanūban mith'la dhanūbi aṣḥābihim falā yastaʿjilūn

فَوَیۡلࣱ لِّلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن یَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِی یُوعَدُونَ ۝٦٠

Then woe to those who have disbelieved of (the destructive effects of) their Day which they are being promised

fawaylun lilladhīna kafarū min yawmihimu alladhī yūʿadūn
