Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness those who scatter dust by dispersing, 1 and those that bear the burden [of the rain], 2 And those that glide with ease (upon the sea) 3 And the angels who distribute the affair. 4 indeed, that which you are promised is true, 5 the Judgement will surely come to pass -- 6 By the heaven full of paths, 7 You are indeed in different opinions regarding this Qur'an. 8 and perverted therefrom are some. 9 May the conjecturers perish, 10 Who are lost in deception. 11 They ask: “When will the Day of Judgement be?” 12 It will be the Day when they shall be scourged by the Fire 13 [And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient." 14 [But,] behold, the God-conscious will find themselves amid gardens and springs, 15 Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life. 16 Little of the night would they slumber, 17 And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness, 18 and sharing their possessions with the beggars and the deprived. 19 And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure. 20 And in yourselves. Then will you not see? 21 And in heaven is your provision and also what you are being promised. 22 Then, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is the truth (i.e. what has been promised to you), just as it is the truth that you can speak. 23
