Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By those that winnow with a winnowing 1 And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water] 2 And those that flow with ease and gentleness; 3 And the angels who distribute the affair. 4 What you are promised is certainly true: 5 The Judgement will indeed take place. 6 And by oath of the decorated heaven. 7 Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say, 8 though only those who are averse to the Truth will turn away from (believing in it). 9 Perish the conjecturers 10 who are dazed in perplexity 11 They ask: When is the Day of Judgment? 12 On the Day of Judgment they will be punished by the fire 13 Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on. 14 Surely the God-fearing will find themselves in the midst of gardens and springs. 15 Taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinun (good-doers - see V. 2:112). 16 They used to sleep but little of the night, 17 And used to seek forgiveness before dawn. 18 They assigned a share of their property for the needy and the destitute. 19 In the earth are signs for those having sure faith; 20 And also in your own selves. Behold ye not? 21 And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised. 22 So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as surely true as that you have speech. 23
