Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the swift scatterers 1 Then by oath of those which carry the burdens. 2 by the ships which smoothly sail on the oceans, 3 by the angels which distribute the affairs, 4 What you are promised is certainly true: 5 And the judgment must most surely come about. 6 By the heaven full of paths. 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 Perish the conjecturers 10 who are dazed in perplexity 11 They ask, "When it will be the Day of Judgment?" 12 (It is) the day on which they shall be tried at the fire. 13 [And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient." 14 [But,] behold, the God-conscious will find themselves amid gardens and springs, 15 Receiving what is given them by their Lord. They were surely the virtuous before this. 16 They used to sleep but little of the night, 17 and in the mornings they would ask for forgiveness; 18 And in their property was a portion due to him who begs and to him who is denied (good). 19 On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith, 20 And in your own souls (too); will you not then see? 21 And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised. 22 And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is the truth, even as (it is true) that ye speak. 23
