Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the winds that scatter the dust, 1 And the clouds bearing a load. 2 which then smoothly speed along, 3 and distributing the command of God at His behest! 4 Verily the promise made to you is true: 5 And the judgment must most surely come about. 6 And by oath of the decorated heaven. 7 surely you are at variance (about the Hereafter); 8 He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse. 9 Woe to the falsehood-mongers,- 10 and who wander in the abyss of confusion. 11 They ask: when is the Day of Requital coming? 12 It will be on the day when they will be roasted in the fire. 13 Taste your burning: this is that which ye sought to be hastened. 14 Surely the God-fearing will find themselves in the midst of gardens and springs. 15 Taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinun (good-doers - see V. 2:112). 16 they would lie asleep during but a small part of the night, 17 And in the morning they asked forgiveness. 18 And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share. 19 And in the earth are signs for those who are certain. 20 and also in your own selves. Do you not see? 21 And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised. 22 By the Lord of the heavens and the earth, this is certainly true even as you speak. 23
