Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the swift scatterers 1 And those that lift and bear away heavy weights; 2 And (the ships) that float with ease and gentleness; 3 Then by oath of those which distribute by the command. 4 surely what you are being warned against is true, 5 and the Judgement shall doubtlessly take place. 6 And by oath of the decorated heaven. 7 surely, you are in different sayings, 8 Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded. 9 Cursed be the liars, 10 Who are careless in an abyss! 11 They ask, "When will the Day of Judgement come?" 12 It will be the Day when they are tormented at the Fire. 13 "Taste your trial. This is what you sought to hasten." 14 Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and watersprings, 15 Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good. 16 they used to sleep but little by night, 17 And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness, 18 And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking). 19 And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty, 20 and in your selves; what, do you not see? 21 In the sky is your provision and that which you are promised. 22 By the Lord of the heavens and the earth, this is certainly true even as you speak. 23
