Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
CONSIDER the winds that scatter the dust far and wide, 1 And (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water; 2 And those who move (on the water) gently, 3 And those who distribute (it) by command, 4 Indeed, what you are promised is true. 5 And indeed, the recompense is to occur. 6 By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths, 7 surely you speak at variance, 8 perverted in his views thereon is he who would deceive himself! 9 Woe to the liars 10 Who are lost in deception. 11 They ask, "When it will be the Day of Judgment?" 12 It will be the Day when they are tormented at the Fire. 13 Taste your burning: this is that which ye sought to be hastened. 14 Indeed the pious are among Gardens and water springs. 15 taking whatsoever their Lord has given them; they were good-doers before that. 16 sleeping little in the night-time, 17 and would pray for forgiveness from their innermost hearts; 18 They assigned a share of their property for the needy and the destitute. 19 On the earth, and in yourselves, 20 and also in your own selves. Do you not 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
