Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By oath of those which carry away while dispersing. 1 Then by oath of those which carry the burdens. 2 And those who move (on the water) gently, 3 and those that apportion [the gift of life] at [God's] behest! 4 What you are promised is certainly true: 5 The Judgement will indeed take place. 6 By the heaven containing pathways, 7 your ideas are confused. 8 He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse. 9 May the conjecturers perish, 10 Those who are in heedlessness neglectful. 11 They ask, “When will be the Day of Judgement?” 12 (It is) the day on which they shall be tried at the fire. 13 "Taste your trial. This is what you sought to hasten." 14 Surely those who fear God and follow the straight path will be amidst gardens and fresh springs of water, 15 Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good. 16 Little of the night they were wont to slumber. 17 and at dawn would ask forgiveness, 18 And in their substance was the right of the beggar and non-beggar. 19 AND ON EARTH there are signs [of God's existence, visible] to all who are endowed with inner certainty, 20 And in your own souls (too); will you not then see? 21 And in the heaven is your provision and that which ye are promised. 22 So, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is certainly true, as true as the fact of your speaking. 23
