Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the swift scatterers 1 And those that lift and bear away heavy weights; 2 by the ships which smoothly sail on the oceans, 3 And those that distribute and apportion by Command;- 4 What you are promised is certainly true: 5 And the judgment must most surely come about. 6 The heavens webbed-with-tracks is witness 7 surely you speak at variance, 8 Deluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded. 9 Perish the conjecturers 10 who are steeped in ignorance and heedlessness. 11 asking, 'When shall be the Day of Doom?' 12 It will be the Day whereon in the Fire they will be burned 13 (And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten. 14 Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and watersprings, 15 enjoying all that their Sustainer will have granted them [because,] verily, they were doers of good in the past: 16 They used to sleep but little of the night, 17 And every morning asked forgiveness, 18 and [would assign] in all that they possessed a due share unto such as might ask [for help] and such as might suffer privation. 19 On the earth, and in yourselves, 20 As also in your own selves: Will ye not then see? 21 And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised. 22 So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as surely true as that you have speech. 23
