Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By those that winnow with a winnowing 1 and the burden-bearers 2 And those that glide with ease (upon the sea) 3 And those who distribute (blessings) by command, 4 Verily that wherewith ye are threatened is surely true. 5 the Judgement will surely come to pass -- 6 I swear by the heaven full of ways. 7 surely you are deeply at variance [as to what to believe] -- 8 Only those who are destined to revert, are reverted from it. 9 Perish will those who just guess and speculate, 10 and who wander in the abyss of confusion. 11 They ask, "When will the Day of Judgement come?" 12 (It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire, 13 [and will be told:] "Taste this your trial! It is this that you were so hastily asking for!" 14 The pious ones will live amidst gardens and springs, 15 They shall receive what their Lord will bestow on them. They have done good works in the past, 16 sleeping little in the night-time, 17 and at dawn would ask forgiveness, 18 In whose wealth the suppliant and the deprived had a share. 19 On the earth, and in yourselves, 20 And in your own souls (too); will you not then see? 21 In the heavens there is your sustenance and that which you were promised (Paradise). 22 So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as surely true as that you have speech. 23
