Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the (Winds) that scatter broadcast; 1 And the clouds bearing a load. 2 and those that speed along with gentle ease, 3 Then those (angels who) distribute blessings by Our command; 4 surely that you are promised is true, 5 The Judgement will indeed take place. 6 CONSIDER the firmament full of starry paths! 7 Indeed, you are in differing speech. 8 He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse. 9 Slain be those who mould from their imaginations. 10 who are dazed in perplexity 11 asking, 'When shall be the Day of Doom?' 12 [It will be] a Day when they will be sorely tried by the fire, 13 (And told:) "Taste your punishment. This is what you were trying to hasten." 14 Indeed the pious are among Gardens and water springs. 15 taking whatsoever their Lord has given them; they were good-doers before that. 16 They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night, 17 And in the dawns they prayed for forgiveness. 18 and sharing their possessions with the beggars and the deprived. 19 And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty, 20 And (also) in yourselves. Can ye then not see? 21 And in the heaven lies your sustenance, and the promise you are given. 22 This, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth is as certain as your ability to speak. 23
