Surah “The Winnowing Winds, The Scatterers”

as rendered by Sahib Mustaqim Bleher — 60 verses

By those dispersing (winds).
And those load-carrying (clouds).
And those (ships) travelling with ease.
And those (angels) arranging affairs.
What you have been promised is true.
And the repayment will take place.
By the well-textured sky.
You differ in your claims.
Those are diverted from it who are avert.
Death to the liars.
Who are carelessly inattentive.
They ask: when will the day of repayment be?
The day when they will be tried on the fire.
Taste your trial, this is what you were in a hurry for.
Those who beware (of Allah) will be in gardens and springs.
They will take what their Lord gives them, for they did good before then.
They slept little at night.
And at dawn they asked for forgiveness.
And in their wealth those who asked and the destitute had a right.
And on the earth are signs for those who are certain.
And in yourselves, so don´t you see?
And in the heaven is your provision and what you have been promised.
So by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is the truth just as you are able to speak.
Has the story of the honoured guests of Ibrahim (Abraham) reached you?
When they entered upon him and said: peace. He said: Peace, oh unfamiliar people.
Then he went back to his family and brought a well-fed calf.
Then he put it before them and said: won´t you eat?
Then he felt afraid of them. They said: fear not, and they gave him good news of a knowledgeable boy.
Then his wife approached with a shriek and struck her face and said: a barren old woman?
They said: this is what your Lord said, for He is wise and knowing.
He said: So what have you come for, oh messengers?
They said: we were sent to the sinful people.
To send upon them stones of clay.
Embossed by your Lord for the wasteful.
So We took out all the believers who were there.
And We did not find there except one household of those who submitted (as Muslims).
And We left in it a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.
And in Musa (Moses) when We send him to Pharaoh with a clear authority.
Then he turned away with his support and said: a magician or possessed.
So We overtook him and his forces and flung them into the sea whilst he blamed himself.
And in ´Ad when We sent against them the relentless wind.
It leaves nothing that it comes upon without turning it rotten.
And in Thamud when they were told enjoy yourselves for a while.
So they violated the command of their Lord and the lightning struck them whilst they looked on.
And they could neither stand up nor were they helped.
And the people of Nuh (Noah) before, for they were sinful people.
And We constructed the heaven with support and We are expanding it.
And We spread out the earth and how well did We level it.
And of everything We created pairs so that you would reflect.
So flee to Allah, for I am a clear warner from Him to you.
And do not place with Allah any other god, for I am a clear warner from Him to you.
Likewise no messenger came to those before them but they said: a magician or possessed.
Is this their legacy? But they are transgressing people.
So turn away from them and you are not to blame.
And remind, for the reminder benefits the believers.
And I did not create Jinn and mankind except to serve Me.
I do not want provision from them and don´t want them to feed Me.
For Allah is the provider with firm strength.
And the wrongdoers will have their share just like the share of their companions, so let them not be in a hurry.
And for those who reject (the truth) the day they have been promised will prove a calamity.
