Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the swift scatterers 1 Then those clouds bearing the load (of minute things in space). 2 Then those (ships) that glide easily, 3 and execute the great task of apportioning (rainfall): 4 Verily the promise made to you is true: 5 And undoubtedly justice will surely be done. 6 By the beautiful heavens, 7 surely, you are in different sayings, 8 and perverted therefrom are some. 9 Doomed are the conjecturers 10 they who blunder along, in ignorance lost 11 They ask: When is the day of judgment? 12 Upon the day when they shall be tried at the Fire: 13 (and be told): “Taste your ordeal! This is what you were seeking to hasten.” 14 Verily, the Muttaqun (pious - see V. 2:2) will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs (in the Paradise), 15 Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good; 16 They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night, 17 And used to seek forgiveness before dawn. 18 They assigned a share of their property for the needy and the destitute. 19 On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith, 20 And in yourselves. Then will you not see? 21 And in the heaven is your providence and that which ye are promised; 22 By the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is certainly the truth. It is as true as your ability to speak. 23
