Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the dipersing winds that disperse. 1 And those who bear the load (of rain), 2 And those that flow with ease and gentleness; 3 and distributing the command of God at His behest! 4 indeed, that which you are promised is true, 5 And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen. 6 The heavens webbed-with-tracks is witness 7 surely, you are in different sayings, 8 though only those who are averse to the Truth will turn away from (believing in it). 9 Woe to the liars 10 who are heedless in the immersion. 11 They ask: When is the day of judgment? 12 (It will be) a Day when they will be tried (and tested) over the Fire! 13 "Taste your trial. This is what you sought to hasten." 14 Surely the God-fearing will find themselves in the midst of gardens and springs. 15 Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life. 16 They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night, 17 And used to seek forgiveness before dawn. 18 and sharing their possessions with the beggars and the deprived. 19 And on the earth there are signs for those who would be convinced. 20 As also in your own selves: Will ye not then see? 21 And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised. 22 By the Lord of the heavens and the earth, this is certainly true even as you speak. 23
