مَن
(those) who
كَانَ
were
فِيهَا
therein
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
the believers
٣٥

51:36
فَمَا
But not
وَجَدۡنَا
We found

of
ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ
the Muslims
٣٦

fear
ٱلۡعَذَابَ
the punishment

We sent him
إِلَىٰ
to
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
Firaun
بِسُلۡطَـٰنٍ
with an authority
مُّبِينٍ
clear
٣٨
And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.1

فَتَوَلَّىٰ
But he turned away
بِرُكۡنِهِۦ
with his supporters
وَقَالَ
and said
سَـٰحِرٌ
A magician
أَوۡ
or
مَجۡنُونٌ
a madman
٣٩
But he turned away with his supporters and said, "A magician or a madman."
51:40
فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُ
So We took him
وَجُنُودَهُۥ
and his hosts
فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُمۡ
and threw them
فِى
into
ٱلۡيَمِّ
the sea
وَهُوَ
while he
مُلِيمٌ
(was) blameworthy
٤٠

the wind
ٱلۡعَقِيمَ
the barren

51:42
مَا
Not
تَذَرُ
it left
مِن
any
شَىۡءٍ
thing
أَتَتۡ
it came
عَلَيۡهِ
upon it
إِلَّا
but
جَعَلَتۡهُ
it made it
كَٱلرَّمِيمِ
like disintegrated ruins
٤٢
It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.
51:43
وَفِى
And in
ثَمُودَ
Thamud
إِذۡ
when

was said
لَهُمۡ
to them
تَمَتَّعُواۡ
Enjoy (yourselves)
حَتَّىٰ
for
حِينٍ
a time
٤٣

51:44
فَعَتَوۡاۡ
But they rebelled
عَنۡ
against
أَمۡرِ
(the) Command
رَبِّهِمۡ
(of) their Lord
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ
so seized them
ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ
the thunderbolt
وَهُمۡ
while they
يَنظُرُونَ
were looking
٤٤
But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.
51:45
فَمَا
Then not
ٱسۡتَطَـٰعُواۡ
they were able to
مِن
[of]
قِيَامٍ
stand
وَمَا
and not
كَانُواۡ
they could
مُنتَصِرِينَ
help themselves
٤٥
And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.
51:46
وَقَوۡمَ
And (the) people
نُوحٍ
(of) Nuh
مِّن
before
قَبۡلُ‌ۖ
before
إِنَّهُمۡ
indeed, they
كَانُواۡ
were
قَوۡمًا
a people
فَـٰسِقِينَ
defiantly disobedient
٤٦
And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.
51:47
وَٱلسَّمَآءَ
And the heaven
بَنَيۡنَـٰهَا
We constructed it
بِأَيۡيۡدٍ
with strength
وَإِنَّا
and indeed, We
لَمُوسِعُونَ
(are) surely (its) Expanders
٤٧
And the heaven We constructed with strength,1 and indeed, We are [its] expander.
51:48
وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ
And the earth
فَرَشۡنَـٰهَا
We have spread it
فَنِعۡمَ
how excellent
ٱلۡمَـٰهِدُونَ
(are) the Spreaders
٤٨
And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.
51:49
وَمِن
And of
كُلِّ
every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
خَلَقۡنَا
We have created
زَوۡجَيۡنِ
pairs
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تَذَكَّرُونَ
remember
٤٩
And of all things We created two mates [i.e., counterparts]; perhaps you will remember.
51:50
فَفِرُّوٓاۡ
So flee
إِلَى
to
ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ
Allah
إِنِّى
indeed, I am
لَكُم
to you
مِّنۡهُ
from Him
نَذِيرٌ
a warner
مُّبِينٌ
clear
٥٠
So flee to Allāh.1 Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.
51:51
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَجۡعَلُواۡ
make
مَعَ
with
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
إِلَـٰهًا
god
ءَاخَرَ‌ۖ
another
إِنِّى
Indeed, I am
لَكُم
to you
مِّنۡهُ
from Him
نَذِيرٌ
a warner
مُّبِينٌ
clear
٥١
And do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.
51:52
كَذٰلِكَ
Likewise
مَآ
not
أَتَى
came
ٱلَّذِينَ
(to) those
مِن
before them
قَبۡلِهِم
before them
مِّن
any
رَّسُولٍ
Messenger
إِلَّا
but
قَالُواۡ
they said
سَاحِرٌ
A magician
أَوۡ
or
مَجۡنُونٌ
a madman
٥٢
Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."
51:53
أَتَوَاصَوۡاۡ
Have they transmitted it to them
بِهِۦ‌ۚ
Have they transmitted it to them
بَلۡ
Nay
هُمۡ
they
قَوۡمٌ
(are) a people
طَاغُونَ
transgressing
٥٣
Did they suggest it to them?1 Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.
51:54
فَتَوَلَّ
So turn away
عَنۡهُمۡ
from them
فَمَآ
for not
أَنتَ
you
بِمَلُومٍ
(are) to be blamed
٥٤
So leave them, [O Muḥammad], for you are not to be blamed.
51:55
وَذَكِّرۡ
And remind
فَإِنَّ
for indeed
ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ
the reminder
تَنفَعُ
benefits
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
the believers
٥٥
And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.
51:56
وَمَا
And not
خَلَقۡتُ
I have created
ٱلۡجِنَّ
the jinn
وَٱلۡإِنسَ
and the mankind
إِلَّا
except
لِيَعۡبُدُونِ
that they worship Me
٥٦
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
51:57
مَآ
Not
أُرِيدُ
I want
مِنۡهُم
from them
مِّن
any
رِّزۡقٍ
provision
وَمَآ
and not
أُرِيدُ
I want
أَن
that
يُطۡعِمُونِ
they (should) feed Me
٥٧
I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.
51:58
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
هُوَ
He
ٱلرَّزَّاقُ
(is) the All-Provider
ذُو
Possessor
ٱلۡقُوَّةِ
(of) Power
ٱلۡمَتِينُ
the Strong
٥٨
Indeed, it is Allāh who is the [continual] Provider,1 the firm possessor of strength.
51:59
فَإِنَّ
So indeed
لِلَّذِينَ
for those who
ظَلَمُواۡ
do wrong
ذَنُوبًا
(is) a portion
مِّثۡلَ
like
ذَنُوبِ
(the) portion
أَصۡحَـٰبِهِمۡ
(of) their companions
فَلَا
so let them not ask Me to hasten
يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ
so let them not ask Me to hasten
٥٩
And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their companions [i.e., predecessors], so let them not impatiently urge Me.
51:60
فَوَيۡلٌ
Then woe
لِّلَّذِينَ
to those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieve
مِن
from
يَوۡمِهِمُ
their Day
ٱلَّذِى
which
يُوعَدُونَ
they are promised
٦٠
And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
