Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the winds which carry dust particles, 1 And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water] 2 which then smoothly speed along, 3 and distributing the command of God at His behest! 4 Indeed, what you are promised is true. 5 And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen. 6 By heaven with all its tracks 7 surely, you are in different sayings, 8 he is turned away from [the truth] who is destined to be so turned away. 9 Perish the conjecturers 10 who flounder in the depths of ignorance. 11 They ask: When is the day of judgment? 12 On that Day they shall be tried at the Fire, 13 Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on. 14 As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs, 15 Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good; 16 they used to sleep but little by night, 17 and would ask for forgiveness at dawn, 18 And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking). 19 In the earth there is evidence (of the Truth) for those who have strong faith. 20 and also in yourselves. Can you not see? 21 And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are 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
