Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the scatterers (the wind) scattering, 1 Then by oath of those which carry the burdens. 2 And (the ships) that float with ease and gentleness; 3 And those who distribute (blessings) by command, 4 What you are threatened with is most surely true, 5 And verily the Requital is surely to befall. 6 by the heaven full of tracks, 7 surely you speak at variance, 8 He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse. 9 Accursed be the conjecturers 10 who flounder in the depths of ignorance. 11 They ask, "When will the Day of Judgement come?" 12 [It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire 13 Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on. 14 Surely the godfearing shall be among gardens and fountains 15 Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good. 16 They used to sleep but little in the night. 17 and in the mornings they would ask for forgiveness; 18 And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived. 19 And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty, 20 and also in yourselves. Can you not see? 21 And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you are threatened with. 22 Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other. 23
