Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the winds which carry dust particles, 1 and those that bear the burden [of the rain], 2 and the smooth runners 3 Then by oath of those which distribute by the command. 4 surely what you are being warned against is true, 5 And verily the Requital is surely to befall. 6 The heavens webbed-with-tracks is witness 7 Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant, 8 Turned aside therefrom is who is turned aside. 9 Doomed are the conjecturers 10 Those who are in heedlessness neglectful. 11 They ask: “When will the Day of Judgement be?” 12 On the Day of Judgment they will be punished by the fire 13 [And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient." 14 [But,] behold, the God-conscious will find themselves amid gardens and 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 only a little during the night. 17 and would ask for forgiveness at dawn, 18 And the beggar and the destitute had a share in their wealth. 19 And on the earth there are signs for those who would be convinced. 20 And in your own souls (too); will you not then see? 21 There is in the heavens your sustenance, and whatever has been promised you. 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
