Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By (the winds) that scatter dust. 1 And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water] 2 And those that glide with ease (upon the sea) 3 And those that distribute and apportion by Command;- 4 indeed, that which you are promised is true, 5 And lo! the judgment will indeed befall. 6 By the heaven with its passages, 7 your ideas are confused. 8 perverted in his views thereon is he who would deceive himself! 9 May the conjecturers perish, 10 they who blunder along, in ignorance lost 11 They ask, "When it will be the Day of Judgment?" 12 [It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire 13 "Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!" 14 The righteous shall live among gardens and fountains, 15 Taking that which their Lord will vouchsafe unto hem. Verily they have been before that well-doers. 16 sleeping little in the night-time, 17 And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness, 18 and in their wealth was a share for whosoever asked and for whosoever was prevented. 19 On the earth, and in yourselves, 20 and in your selves; what, do you not see? 21 And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you are threatened with. 22 Then, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is the truth (i.e. what has been promised to you), just as it is the truth that you can speak. 23
