Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the winds which carry dust particles, 1 Then those clouds bearing the load (of minute things in space). 2 Then by oath of those which move with ease. 3 And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter, 4 that what you are promised is certainly true 5 and the Day of Judgment will inevitably take place. 6 CONSIDER the firmament full of starry 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 Doomed are the conjecturers 10 they who blunder along, in ignorance lost 11 They ask: “When will the Day of Judgement be?” 12 Upon the day when they shall be tried at the Fire: 13 Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on. 14 Indeed the pious are among Gardens and water springs. 15 receiving their reward from their Lord. They had been righteous people before the Day of Judgment. 16 Little of the night they were wont to slumber. 17 and would pray for forgiveness from their innermost hearts; 18 and sharing their possessions with the beggars and the deprived. 19 For those with sure belief there are signs in the earth, 20 and also in your own selves. Do you not see? 21 And in heaven is your provision, and that you are promised. 22 Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking. 23
