Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the winds that scatter the dust, 1 And (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water; 2 which then smoothly speed along, 3 Then those (angels who) distribute blessings by Our command; 4 surely what you are being warned against is true, 5 And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen. 6 By the heaven full of paths, 7 Verily ye are in a divided opinion. 8 From which only he turns who is turned away. 9 Perish will those who just guess and speculate, 10 and who wander in the abyss of confusion. 11 asking, 'When shall be the Day of Doom?' 12 The day they will be burnt in the Fire, 13 "Taste you your trial (burning)! This is what you used to ask to be hastened!" 14 Verily, the Muttaqun (pious - see V. 2:2) will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs (in the Paradise), 15 They shall receive what their Lord will bestow on them. They have done good works in the past, 16 Little of the night would they slumber, 17 and asked for forgiveness in the early morning. 18 And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived. 19 And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith] 20 there are signs for firm believers. Do you not see then? 21 And in heaven is your provision and also what you are being promised. 22 This, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth is as certain as your ability to speak. 23
