Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By those that winnow with a winnowing 1 Then by oath of those which carry the burdens. 2 And those [ships] sailing with ease 3 And the angels who distribute the affair. 4 What you are promised is certainly true: 5 And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen. 6 By the heaven with its passages, 7 Verily ye are in a divided opinion. 8 perverted in his views thereon is he who would deceive himself! 9 Destroyed are the falsifiers 10 Those who have forgotten in a state of intoxication. 11 They ask: "When is the Day of Judgement?" -- 12 It will be on the day when they will be roasted in the fire. 13 Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on. 14 Surely the godfearing shall be among gardens and fountains 15 joyously receiving what their Lord will have granted them. Verily they did good works before (the coming of this Day): 16 they used to sleep but little by night, 17 And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness; 18 and in their wealth there was a rightful share for him who would ask and for the destitute. 19 On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith, 20 And also in your own selves. Behold ye not? 21 And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised. 22 This, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth is as certain as your ability to speak. 23
