Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I CALL TO witness those who scatter (dust) by dispersing, 1 and the burden-bearers 2 Then those (ships) that glide easily, 3 And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter, 4 surely that you are promised is true, 5 and, verily, judgment is bound to come! 6 By heaven with all its tracks 7 surely you are deeply at variance [as to what to believe] -- 8 From which only he turns who is turned away. 9 Perish the conjecturers 10 who are dazed in perplexity 11 They ask; "When will be the Day of Recompense?" 12 Upon the day when they shall be tried at the Fire: 13 'Taste your trial! This is that you were seeking to hasten.' 14 The pious ones will live amidst gardens and springs, 15 Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good. 16 Little of the night they were wont to slumber. 17 And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness, 18 And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share. 19 And in the earth there are signs for those who are sure, 20 there are signs for firm believers. Do you not see then? 21 In the sky is your provision and that which you are promised. 22 This, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth is as certain as your ability to speak. 23
