Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the scatterers (the wind) scattering, 1 which carry clouds laden with water, 2 which then smoothly speed along, 3 Then by oath of those which distribute by the command. 4 that what you are promised is certainly true 5 And lo! the judgment will indeed befall. 6 By the heaven with its numerous forms: 7 surely, you are in different sayings, 8 He is turned away from it who would be turned away. 9 May the conjecturers perish, 10 Who are lost in deception. 11 They ask: When is the day of judgment? 12 The day they will be burnt in the Fire, 13 Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on. 14 Surely those who fear God and follow the straight path will be amidst gardens and fresh springs of water, 15 Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life. 16 They slept but a little at night, 17 praying at dawn for God's pardon, 18 and the beggar and the outcast had a share in their wealth. 19 And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith] 20 And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see? 21 And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised. 22 So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as true as your speech. 23
