Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the (Winds) that scatter broadcast; 1 by the clouds which are heavily loaded with water, 2 And those that flow with ease and gentleness; 3 And those that distribute and apportion by Command;- 4 Verily that which ye are promised is true; 5 and surely the Doom is about to fall! 6 By the heaven with its passages, 7 surely, you are in different sayings, 8 and perverted therefrom are some. 9 Slain be those who mould from their imaginations. 10 Who are lost in deception. 11 They ask: When is the Day of Judgment? 12 [It will be] a Day when they will be sorely tried by the fire, 13 [and will be told:] "Taste this your trial! It is this that you were so hastily asking for!" 14 As for the God-fearing, they shall be in the midst of gardens and fountains, 15 Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good; 16 Little of the night they were wont to slumber. 17 and would pray for forgiveness from their innermost hearts; 18 And in their property was a portion due to him who begs and to him who is denied (good). 19 And in the earth there are signs for those who are sure, 20 And in your own selves; so can you not perceive? 21 And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised. 22 So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as surely true as that you have speech. 23
