Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By those that winnow with a winnowing 1 by the clouds which are heavily loaded with water, 2 And those that flow with ease and gentleness; 3 And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter, 4 Verily that which ye are promised is true; 5 and, verily, judgment is bound to come! 6 By the heaven full of paths. 7 surely, you are in different sayings, 8 Let whoever wishes, turn away from Our Quran. 9 Destroyed are the falsifiers 10 Who are careless in an abyss! 11 They ask: When is the day of judgment? 12 Upon the day when they shall be tried at the Fire: 13 "Taste your trial. This is what you sought to hasten." 14 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and fountains. 15 receiving their reward from their Lord. They had been righteous people before the Day of Judgment. 16 They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night, 17 And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness, 18 And in their property was a portion due to him who begs and to him who is denied (good). 19 AND ON EARTH there are signs [of God's existence, visible] to all who are endowed with inner certainty, 20 There is also evidence of the Truth within your own selves. Will you then not see? 21 There is in the heavens your sustenance, and whatever has been promised you. 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
