Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By those that winnow with a winnowing 1 And those that lift and bear away heavy weights; 2 by the ships which smoothly sail on the oceans, 3 and the partitioners, 4 surely that you are promised is true, 5 and surely the Doom is about to fall! 6 By the heaven full of paths. 7 surely you speak at variance, 8 Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded. 9 May the conjecturers perish, 10 who are dazed in perplexity 11 asking, 'When shall be the Day of Doom?' 12 (It will be) a Day when they will be tried (and tested) over the Fire! 13 and will be told, "Suffer the torment which you wanted to experience immediately". 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 slept little in the night, 17 praying at dawn for God's pardon, 18 And in their property was a portion due to him who begs and to him who is denied (good). 19 On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith, 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 By the Lord of the heavens and the earth, this is certainly true even as you speak. 23
