Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the swift scatterers 1 which carry clouds laden with water, 2 and those that speed along with gentle ease, 3 Then those (angels who) distribute blessings by Our command; 4 Verily, that which you are promised is true indeed, 5 the Judgement will surely come to pass -- 6 By heaven with all its tracks 7 surely, you are in different sayings, 8 though only those who are averse to the Truth will turn away from (believing in it). 9 Doomed are the conjecturers 10 who are steeped in ignorance and heedlessness. 11 They ask: When is the day of judgment? 12 (It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire, 13 [And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient." 14 The pious ones will live amidst gardens and springs, 15 joyously receiving what their Lord will have granted them. Verily they did good works before (the coming of this Day): 16 They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allah) and praying, with fear and hope]. 17 And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness, 18 And in their properties there was the right of the beggar, and the Mahrum (the poor who does not ask the others). 19 And on the earth there are signs for those who would be convinced. 20 And also in your own selves. Behold ye not? 21 And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised. 22 Then, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is the truth (i.e. what has been promised to you), just as it is the truth that you can speak. 23
