Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness those who scatter by dispersing, 1 And (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water; 2 And the ships that glide with ease. 3 and those that apportion [the gift of life] at [God's] behest! 4 that what you are promised is certainly true 5 and the Day of Judgment will inevitably take place. 6 By heaven with all its tracks 7 You are surely caught in contradictions., 8 Only those who are destined to revert, are reverted from it. 9 Perish the conjecturers 10 Who are in a gulf (of ignorance) neglectful; 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 it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten. 14 Surely the godfearing shall be among gardens and fountains 15 Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good. 16 sleeping little in the night-time, 17 and would pray for forgiveness from their innermost hearts; 18 And in their substance was the right of the beggar and non-beggar. 19 In the earth there is evidence (of the Truth) for those who have strong faith. 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 So by oath of the Lord of the heavens and the earth, this Qur'an is the Truth, in the same language that you speak. 23
