Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By oath of those which carry away while dispersing. 1 And (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water; 2 And the ships that glide with ease. 3 And those who distribute (blessings) by command, 4 What you are promised is certainly true: 5 and surely the Doom is about to fall! 6 I swear by the heaven full of ways. 7 Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant, 8 and perverted therefrom are some. 9 Accursed be the conjecturers 10 Those who have forgotten in a state of intoxication. 11 They ask: When is the Day of Judgment? 12 On the Day of Judgment they will be punished by the fire 13 (And told:) "Taste your punishment. This is what you were trying to hasten." 14 As for the God-fearing, they shall be in the midst of gardens and fountains, 15 joyously receiving what their Lord will have granted them. Verily they did good works before (the coming of this Day): 16 They slept but a little at night, 17 And in the dawns they prayed for forgiveness. 18 And in their substance was the right of the beggar and non-beggar. 19 And in the earth are signs for those who are certain. 20 And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see? 21 And in heaven is [the source of] your sustenance [on earth] and [of] all that you are promised [for your life after death]: 22 for, by the Sustainer of heaven and earth, this [life after death] is the very truth - as true as that you are endowed with speech! 23
