Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the winds that scatter the dust, 1 which carry clouds laden with water, 2 And those who move (on the water) gently, 3 then by the distributors (angels), ordered; 4 Verily, that which you are promised is true indeed, 5 And lo! the judgment will indeed befall. 6 I swear by the heaven full of ways. 7 surely you are deeply at variance [as to what to believe] -- 8 Turned aside therefrom is who is turned aside. 9 Doomed are the conjecturers 10 and who wander in the abyss of confusion. 11 They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?" 12 Upon the day when they shall be tried at the Fire: 13 Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on. 14 Surely the God-fearing will find themselves in the midst of gardens and springs. 15 receiving their reward from their Lord. They had been righteous people before the Day of Judgment. 16 They used to sleep but little of the night, 17 And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness, 18 And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share. 19 And on the earth there are signs for those who would be convinced. 20 And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see? 21 In the sky is your provision and that which you are promised. 22 So, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is certainly true, as true as the fact of your speaking. 23
