51. Surah Adh-Dhariyat (The Winnowing Winds) is the 51st chapter of the Qur'an, comprised of 60 verses. Like its predecessor (Surah Qaf), it belongs to the Al-Mufassal section and is an early Makkan chapter. The Surah derives its name from the very first word, Adh-Dhariyat, which refers to the powerful winds that scatter dust and seeds across the earth. Its central objective is to establish the absolute certainty of the Afterlife and the divine promise (Wa'd), utilizing oaths sworn by majestic natural phenomena.
