Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the swift scatterers 1 And those that lift and bear away heavy weights; 2 And those that flow with ease and gentleness; 3 then by the distributors (angels), ordered; 4 that what you are promised is certainly true 5 and the Judgement shall doubtlessly take place. 6 by the heaven full of tracks, 7 your ideas are confused. 8 though only those who are averse to the Truth will turn away from (believing in it). 9 May the conjecturers perish, 10 who are dazed in perplexity 11 They ask, "When it will be the Day of Judgment?" 12 It will be the Day whereon in the Fire they will be burned 13 And it will be said to them, “Taste your own roasting; this is what you were impatient for.” 14 The righteous shall live among gardens and fountains, 15 taking whatsoever their Lord has given them; they were good-doers before that. 16 They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allah) and praying, with fear and hope]. 17 And used to seek forgiveness before dawn. 18 And in their property was a portion due to him who begs and to him who is denied (good). 19 And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty, 20 there are signs for firm believers. Do you not see then? 21 And in the heaven is your provision and that which ye 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
