Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the (Winds) that scatter broadcast; 1 And those that lift and bear away heavy weights; 2 And those who move (on the water) gently, 3 and distributing the command of God at His behest! 4 Undoubtedly, the promise you are given is surely true. 5 And indeed, the recompense is to occur. 6 CONSIDER the firmament full of starry paths! 7 Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant, 8 He is turned away from it who would be turned away. 9 Woe to the falsehood-mongers,- 10 who are heedless in the immersion. 11 they who [mockingly] ask, "When is that Day of Judgment to be?" 12 The day they will be burnt in the Fire, 13 'Taste your trial! This is that you were seeking to hasten.' 14 Surely the God-fearing will find themselves in the midst of gardens and 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 ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness, 18 and in their wealth there was a rightful share for him who would ask and for the destitute. 19 For those with sure belief there are signs in the earth, 20 and in your selves; what, do you 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 the truth, even as (it is true) that ye speak. 23
