Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the dipersing winds that disperse. 1 by the clouds which are heavily loaded with water, 2 And those [ships] sailing with ease 3 and those that apportion [the gift of life] at [God's] behest! 4 Undoubtedly, the promise you are given is surely true. 5 And indeed, the recompense is to occur. 6 CONSIDER the firmament full of starry paths! 7 surely you speak at variance, 8 Deluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded. 9 Cursed be the liars, 10 Who are under a cover of heedlessness (think not about the gravity of the Hereafter), 11 They ask: “When will the Day of Judgement be?” 12 (It will be) a Day when they will be tried (and tested) over the Fire! 13 "Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!" 14 Indeed the pious are among Gardens and water springs. 15 They shall receive what their Lord will bestow on them. They have done good works in the past, 16 They used to sleep but little of the night, 17 And in the morning they asked forgiveness. 18 and sharing their possessions with the beggars and the deprived. 19 And in the earth are signs for those who are certain. 20 And (also) in yourselves. Can ye then not see? 21 In the sky is your provision and that which you are promised. 22 Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking. 23
