Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the winds that scatter the dust, 1 And those who bear the load (of rain), 2 And those that glide with ease (upon the sea) 3 by the angels which distribute the affairs, 4 What you are threatened with is most surely true, 5 and, verily, judgment is bound to come! 6 By the heaven with its numerous forms: 7 surely you are deeply at variance [as to what to believe] -- 8 He is turned away from it who would be turned away. 9 Doomed are the conjecturers 10 who are steeped in ignorance and heedlessness. 11 They ask: When is the Day of Judgment? 12 Upon the day when they shall be tried at the Fire: 13 'Taste your trial. This is what you have sought to hasten' 14 Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs, 15 Taking that which their Lord will vouchsafe unto hem. Verily they have been before that well-doers. 16 They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allah) and praying, with fear and hope]. 17 And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness, 18 And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking). 19 There are signs in the earth for those who are firm in their faith, 20 And in yourselves. Then will you not see? 21 There is in the heavens your sustenance, and whatever has been promised you. 22 So, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is certainly true, as true as the fact of your speaking. 23
