Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By those that winnow with a winnowing 1 And those that lift and bear away heavy weights; 2 And those that glide with ease (upon the sea) 3 and the partitioners, 4 What you are threatened with is most surely true, 5 the Judgement will surely come to pass -- 6 CONSIDER the firmament full of starry paths! 7 surely you speak at variance, 8 and perverted therefrom are some. 9 Death to those whose opinions are merely baseless conjectures. 10 Who are lost in deception. 11 They ask, “When will be the Day of Judgement?” 12 On that Day they shall be tried at the Fire, 13 And it will be said to them, “Taste your own roasting; this is what you were impatient for.” 14 Surely the godfearing shall be among gardens and fountains 15 Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good; 16 They used to sleep but little in the night. 17 And every morning asked forgiveness, 18 and in their wealth there was a rightful share for him who would ask and for the destitute. 19 In the earth are signs for those having sure faith; 20 And in your own souls (too); will you not then see? 21 And in heaven is your provision and also what you are being promised. 22 Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other. 23
