Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I swear by the wind that scatters far and wide, 1 And those that bear the burden (of the rain) 2 which then smoothly speed along, 3 and distributing the command of God at His behest! 4 Undoubtedly, the promise you are given is surely true. 5 And indeed, the recompense is to occur. 6 I swear by the heaven full of ways. 7 Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say, 8 Only those who are destined to revert, are reverted from it. 9 May the conjecturers perish, 10 who are dazed in perplexity 11 They ask: “When will the Day of Judgement be?” 12 On the Day of Judgment they will be punished by the fire 13 And it will be said to them, “Taste your own roasting; this is what you were impatient for.” 14 Indeed the pious are among Gardens and water 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, 17 And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness, 18 And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share. 19 There are many Signs on earth for those of sure faith, 20 just as [there are signs thereof] within your own selves: can you not, then, see? 21 And in heaven is your provision, and that you are promised. 22 So, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is certainly true, as true as the fact of your speaking. 23
