Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By oath of those which carry away while dispersing. 1 by the clouds which are heavily loaded with water, 2 and those that speed along with gentle ease, 3 then by the distributors (angels), ordered; 4 indeed, that which you are promised is true, 5 the Judgement will surely come to pass -- 6 By heaven with all its tracks 7 Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say, 8 and perverted therefrom are some. 9 Perish the conjecturers 10 who flounder in the depths of ignorance. 11 They ask; "When will be the Day of Recompense?" 12 It will be the Day when they shall be scourged by the Fire 13 and will be told, "Suffer the torment which you wanted to experience immediately". 14 Indeed the pious are among Gardens and water springs. 15 They shall receive what their Lord will bestow on them. They have done good works in the past, 16 They slept but a little at night, 17 And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness, 18 They assigned a share of their property for the needy and the destitute. 19 In the earth are signs for those having sure faith; 20 just as [there are signs thereof] within your own selves: can you not, then, see? 21 In the sky is your provision and that which you are promised. 22 By the Lord of the heavens and the earth, this is certainly true even as you speak. 23
