Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By (the winds) that scatter dust. 1 by the clouds which are heavily loaded with water, 2 which then smoothly speed along, 3 by the angels which distribute the affairs, 4 indeed, that which you are promised is true, 5 and the recompense shall surely happen. 6 I swear by the heaven full of ways. 7 Indeed, you are in differing speech. 8 Deluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded. 9 Accursed be the conjecturers 10 they who blunder along, in ignorance lost 11 'When will the Day of Judgement be' they ask. 12 The day they will be burnt in the Fire, 13 [and will be told:] "Taste this your trial! It is this that you were so hastily asking for!" 14 As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs, 15 Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good. 16 They slept little in the night, 17 praying at dawn for God's pardon, 18 and the beggar and the outcast had a share in their wealth. 19 On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith, 20 And within yourselves. Can you not perceive? 21 And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised. 22 Then, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is the truth (i.e. what has been promised to you), just as it is the truth that you can speak. 23
