Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the (Winds) that scatter broadcast; 1 And the clouds bearing a load. 2 And those that flow with ease and gentleness; 3 and those that apportion [the gift of life] at [God's] behest! 4 Verily, that which you are promised is true indeed, 5 the Judgement will surely come to pass -- 6 By the heaven full of paths, 7 Verily ye are in a divided opinion. 8 Turned aside therefrom is who is turned aside. 9 Destroyed are the falsifiers 10 Who are careless in an abyss! 11 They ask, "When it will be the Day of Judgment?" 12 (It will be) a Day when they will be tried (i.e. burnt) over the Fire! 13 "Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!" 14 As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs, 15 Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good; 16 They used to sleep but little in the night. 17 And used to seek forgiveness before dawn. 18 and sharing their possessions with the beggars and the deprived. 19 In the earth are signs for those having sure faith; 20 And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see? 21 In the sky 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
