Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By those that winnow with a winnowing 1 Then by oath of those which carry the burdens. 2 and those speeding along with ease, 3 and the partitioners, 4 Indeed, what you are promised is true. 5 And verily the Requital is surely to befall. 6 By the heaven with its numerous forms: 7 Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say, 8 He is turned away from it who would be turned away. 9 Perish will those who just guess and speculate, 10 who are heedless in the immersion. 11 They ask, "When it will be the Day of Judgment?" 12 (It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire, 13 (And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten. 14 As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs, 15 joyously receiving what their Lord will have granted them. Verily they did good works before (the coming of this Day): 16 Little of the night would they slumber, 17 and would ask for forgiveness at dawn, 18 And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived. 19 On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith, 20 And in your own selves; so can you not perceive? 21 And in the heaven is your providence and that which ye are promised; 22 By the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is certainly the truth. It is as true as your ability to speak. 23
