Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the scatterers (the wind) scattering, 1 Then by oath of those which carry the burdens. 2 which then smoothly speed along, 3 and distributing the command of God at His behest! 4 What you are threatened with is most surely true, 5 and the recompense shall surely happen. 6 CONSIDER the firmament full of starry paths! 7 Indeed, you are in differing speech. 8 and are turned away from him who is turned. 9 Death to those whose opinions are merely baseless conjectures. 10 who are heedless in the immersion. 11 They ask: When is the Day of Judgment? 12 It will be the Day when they shall be scourged by the Fire 13 "Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!" 14 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and fountains. 15 Accepting the rewards given by their Lord; they were indeed virtuous before this. 16 they would lie asleep during but a small part of the night, 17 and in the mornings they would ask for 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 And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty, 20 And in your own selves; so can you not perceive? 21 And in the heaven is your provision and that which ye are promised. 22 So, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is certainly true, as true as the fact of your speaking. 23
