Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the winds which scatter dust, 1 And those who bear the load (of rain), 2 which then smoothly speed along, 3 And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter, 4 surely that you are promised is true, 5 the Judgement will surely come to pass -- 6 By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths, 7 surely you speak at variance, 8 Turned aside therefrom is who is turned aside. 9 Slain be those who mould from their imaginations. 10 Who are careless in an abyss! 11 They ask: when is the Day of Requital coming? 12 On the Day of Judgment they will be punished by the fire 13 Taste your burning: this is that which ye sought to be hastened. 14 As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs, 15 taking whatsoever their Lord has given them; they were good-doers before that. 16 They slept but a little at night, 17 And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness, 18 And in their properties there was the right of the beggar, and the Mahrum (the poor who does not ask the others). 19 And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure. 20 And in your own selves; so can you not perceive? 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
