Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By those that winnow with a winnowing 1 then the bearers of weight (the clouds), 2 And (the ships) that float with ease and gentleness; 3 then by the distributors (angels), ordered; 4 Verily that which ye are promised is true; 5 And indeed, the recompense is to occur. 6 By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths, 7 your ideas are confused. 8 and are turned away from him who is turned. 9 May the conjecturers perish, 10 Who are careless in an abyss! 11 They ask; "When will be the Day of Recompense?" 12 On that Day they shall be tried at the Fire, 13 "Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!" 14 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and fountains. 15 Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life. 16 Little of the night would they slumber, 17 And every morning asked forgiveness, 18 And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share. 19 And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith] 20 There is also evidence of the Truth within your own selves. Will you then not see? 21 And in heaven is your provision and also what you are being promised. 22 So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as surely true as that you have speech. 23
