Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By those that winnow with a winnowing 1 And those that lift and bear away heavy weights; 2 and those that speed along with gentle ease, 3 by the angels which distribute the affairs, 4 Verily that which ye are promised is true; 5 And verily Judgment and Justice must indeed come to pass. 6 by the heaven full of tracks, 7 surely, you are in different sayings, 8 From which only he turns who is turned away. 9 May the conjecturers perish, 10 Who are in a gulf (of ignorance) neglectful; 11 They ask: When is the day of judgment? 12 [It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire 13 Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on. 14 As for the God-fearing, they shall be in the midst of gardens and fountains, 15 receiving their reward from their Lord. They had been righteous people before the Day of Judgment. 16 they used to sleep but little by night, 17 And in the dawns they prayed for forgiveness. 18 And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking). 19 There are many Signs on earth for those of sure faith, 20 And also in your own selves. Behold ye not? 21 There is in the heavens your sustenance, and whatever has been promised you. 22 So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as surely true as that you have speech. 23
