Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the dipersing winds that disperse. 1 Then by oath of those which carry the burdens. 2 Then those (ships) that glide easily, 3 by the angels which distribute the affairs, 4 that what you are promised is certainly true 5 and surely the Doom is about to fall! 6 I swear by the heaven full of ways. 7 surely you are at variance (about the Hereafter); 8 perverted in his views thereon is he who would deceive himself! 9 Woe to the liars 10 Who are under a cover of heedlessness (think not about the gravity of the Hereafter), 11 They ask, "When will be the Day of Judgment and Justice?" 12 It will be the Day when they shall be scourged 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 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 would they slumber, 17 and asked for forgiveness in the early morning. 18 and sharing their possessions with the beggars and the deprived. 19 And in the earth are signs for those who are certain. 20 and also in yourselves. Can you not see? 21 And in heaven is your provision, and that you are promised. 22 Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking. 23
