Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I CALL TO witness those who scatter (dust) by dispersing, 1 And (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water; 2 and those that speed along with gentle ease, 3 and those that apportion [the gift of life] at [God's] behest! 4 indeed, that which you are promised is true, 5 And lo! the judgment will indeed befall. 6 By the heaven full of paths, 7 surely you are at variance (about the Hereafter); 8 He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse. 9 May the conjecturers perish, 10 who are dazed in perplexity 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 As for the God-fearing, they shall be in the midst of gardens and fountains, 15 Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good. 16 They slept very little during the night 17 and would ask for forgiveness at dawn, 18 And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived. 19 And in the earth are signs for those who are certain. 20 there are signs for firm believers. Do you not see then? 21 In the sky is your provision and that which you 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
