Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By those that winnow with a winnowing 1 and those that bear the burden [of the rain], 2 by the ships which smoothly sail on the oceans, 3 by the angels which distribute the affairs, 4 Verily that which ye are promised is true; 5 And indeed, the recompense is to occur. 6 By heaven with all its tracks 7 You are indeed in different opinions regarding this Qur’an. 8 He is turned away from it who would be turned away. 9 Accursed be the conjecturers 10 who are heedless in the immersion. 11 They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?" 12 On that Day they shall be tried at the Fire, 13 'Taste your trial! This is that you were seeking to hasten.' 14 As for the God-fearing, they shall be in the midst of gardens and fountains, 15 Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good. 16 They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allah) and praying, with fear and hope]. 17 And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness, 18 and in their wealth there was a rightful share for him who would ask and for the destitute. 19 And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure. 20 there are signs for firm believers. Do you not see then? 21 And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you are threatened with. 22 So, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is certainly true, as true as the fact of your speaking. 23
