Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the dipersing winds that disperse. 1 And the clouds bearing a load. 2 And those that flow with ease and gentleness; 3 and distributing the command of God at His behest! 4 Verily the promise made to you is true: 5 the Judgement will surely come to pass -- 6 By the heaven full of paths, 7 your ideas are confused. 8 Only those who are destined to revert, are reverted from it. 9 Woe to the falsehood-mongers,- 10 they who blunder along, in ignorance lost 11 'When will the Day of Judgement be' they ask. 12 [It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire 13 And it will be said to them, “Taste your own roasting; this is what you were impatient for.” 14 As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs, 15 Accepting the rewards given by their Lord; they were indeed virtuous before this. 16 They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night, 17 and in the mornings they would ask for forgiveness; 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 And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith] 20 And in yourselves. Then will you not see? 21 And in heaven is [the source of] your sustenance [on earth] and [of] all that you are promised [for your life after death]: 22 This, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth is as certain as your ability to speak. 23
