Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
I CALL TO witness those who scatter (dust) by dispersing, 1 And those that bear the burden (of the rain) 2 by the ships which smoothly sail on the oceans, 3 and distributing the command of God at His behest! 4 Verily the promise made to you is true: 5 the Judgement will surely come to pass -- 6 By the heaven full of paths. 7 surely you are at variance (about the Hereafter); 8 Only those who are destined to revert, are reverted from it. 9 Perish the conjecturers 10 they who blunder along, in ignorance lost 11 They ask: When is the Day of Judgment? 12 (It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire, 13 "Taste your trial. This is what you sought to hasten." 14 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and fountains. 15 receiving what their Lord will give them because before this they were gooddoers. 16 Little of the night they were wont to slumber. 17 and asked for forgiveness in the early morning. 18 They assigned a share of their property for the needy and the destitute. 19 And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure. 20 And in your own selves; so can you not perceive? 21 And in the heaven is your provision and that which ye are promised. 22 By the Lord of the heavens and the earth, this is certainly true even as you speak. 23
