Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the winds which scatter dust, 1 And those who bear the load (of rain), 2 And those that flow with ease and gentleness; 3 then by the distributors (angels), ordered; 4 Verily the promise made to you is true: 5 and the Judgement shall doubtlessly take place. 6 by the heaven full of tracks, 7 surely, you are in different sayings, 8 perverted in his views thereon is he who would deceive himself! 9 Perish the conjecturers 10 and who wander in the abyss of confusion. 11 They ask, “When will be the Day of Judgement?” 12 It will be the Day whereon in the Fire they will be burned 13 (and be told): “Taste your ordeal! This is what you were seeking to hasten.” 14 Surely the God-fearing will find themselves in the midst of gardens and springs. 15 Taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinun (good-doers - see V. 2:112). 16 They used to sleep but little of the night, 17 And in the morning they asked forgiveness. 18 They assigned a share of their property for the needy and the destitute. 19 On the earth, and in yourselves, 20 And in your own selves; so can you not perceive? 21 And in the heaven lies your sustenance, and the promise you are given. 22 So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as true as your speech. 23
