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 And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter, 4 Verily, that which you are promised is true indeed, 5 And the judgment must most surely come about. 6 CONSIDER the firmament full of starry paths! 7 surely you are at variance (about the Hereafter); 8 perverted in his views thereon is he who would deceive himself! 9 May the conjecturers perish, 10 Those who are in heedlessness neglectful. 11 They ask, "When it will be the Day of Judgment?" 12 On that Day they shall be tried at the Fire, 13 And it will be said to them, “Taste your own roasting; this is what you were impatient for.” 14 Indeed the pious are among Gardens and water springs. 15 receiving what their Lord will give them because before this they were gooddoers. 16 sleeping little in the night-time, 17 and in the mornings they would ask for forgiveness; 18 and in their wealth there was a rightful share for him who would ask and for the destitute. 19 And on the earth there are signs for those who would be convinced. 20 And in your own souls (too); will you not then see? 21 And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye 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
