Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the winds that scatter the dust, 1 by the clouds which are heavily loaded with water, 2 And those that flow with ease and gentleness; 3 and those that apportion [the gift of life] at [God's] behest! 4 Verily the promise made to you is true: 5 the Judgement will surely come to pass -- 6 And by oath of the decorated heaven. 7 You are surely caught in contradictions., 8 Let whoever wishes, turn away from Our Quran. 9 May the conjecturers perish, 10 Those who are in heedlessness neglectful. 11 They ask: “When will the Day of Judgement be?” 12 [It will be] a Day when they will be sorely tried by the fire, 13 And it will be said to them, “Taste your own roasting; this is what you were impatient for.” 14 Verily the God-fearing will be amid Gardens and water-springs. 15 receiving their reward from their Lord. They had been righteous people before the Day of Judgment. 16 They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night, 17 And in the morning they asked forgiveness. 18 and [would assign] in all that they possessed a due share unto such as might ask [for help] and such as might suffer privation. 19 On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith, 20 And (also) in yourselves. Can ye then not see? 21 And in the heaven lies your sustenance, and the promise you are given. 22 And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth! it is most surely the truth, just as you do speak. 23
