Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By those that winnow with a winnowing 1 then the bearers of weight (the clouds), 2 then the easy runners (the ships); 3 And the angels who distribute the affair. 4 Indeed, what you are promised is true. 5 and, verily, judgment is bound to come! 6 By the heaven full of paths, 7 You are indeed in different opinions regarding this Qur’an. 8 From which only he turns who is turned away. 9 Cursed be the liars, 10 they who blunder along, in ignorance lost 11 They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?" 12 It will be the Day whereon in the Fire they will be burned 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 joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life. 16 sleeping little in the night-time, 17 and would ask for forgiveness at dawn, 18 And the beggar and the destitute had a share in their wealth. 19 AND ON EARTH there are signs [of God's existence, visible] to all who are endowed with inner certainty, 20 And in your own souls (too); will you not then see? 21 And in heaven is your provision and also what you are being promised. 22 This, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth is as certain as your ability to speak. 23
