51. Dharijat · verses 16–24

ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحۡسِنِينَ

Akhitheena ma atahum rabbuhum innahum kanoo qabla thalika muhsineena

Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life.

كَانُواْ قَلِيلٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مَا يَهۡجَعُونَ

Kanoo qaleelan mina allayli ma yahjaAAoona

They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night,

وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ

Wabialashari hum yastaghfiroona

And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness;

وَفِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ

Wafee amwalihim haqqun lilssaili waalmahroomi

And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking).

وَفِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ءَايَٰتٞ لِّلۡمُوقِنِينَ

Wafee alardi ayatun lilmooqineena

On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith,

وَفِيٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ

Wafee anfusikum afala tubsiroona

As also in your own selves: Will ye not then see?

وَفِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ

Wafee alssamai rizqukum wama tooAAadoona

And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised.

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقّٞ مِّثۡلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمۡ تَنطِقُونَ

Fawarabbi alssamai waalardi innahu lahaqqun mithla ma annakum tantiqoona

Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other.

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيۡفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِينَ

Hal ataka hadeethu dayfi ibraheema almukrameena

Has the story reached thee, of the honoured guests of Abraham?
