Adh-Dhaariyat 51:21

What It Means: Reading in Context

This verse continues 51:20’s reference to signs, now directing attention to people themselves. Its opening depends on that preceding verse, which is linked. The pair invites reflection rather than supplying a medical claim or an explanation of any individual’s health. This entry presents Qur’an 51:21 from Surah Adh-Dhaariyat, with Arabic text and Marmaduke Pickthall’s English translation. The translation conveys meaning in English; it is not a replacement for the Arabic Qur’an. Read the linked passage with the verses before and after it, particularly when a sentence continues across verse boundaries. The topics shown here are editorial reading aids rather than an exhaustive interpretation of the passage. Our short reflection offers a possible practical response, clearly separated from scripture. It should not be repeated as a verse, hadith or authoritative tafsir. For detailed interpretation or questions about religious practice, consult qualified scholarship and the complete source.
