Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing 1 then the bearers of weight (the clouds), 2 And those that glide with ease (upon the sea) 3 And those who distribute (blessings) by command, 4 surely what you are being warned against is true, 5 and, verily, judgment is bound to come! 6 CONSIDER the firmament full of starry paths! 7 Indeed, you are in differing speech. 8 Turned aside therefrom is who is turned aside. 9 Cursed be the liars, 10 Those who have forgotten in a state of intoxication. 11 'When will the Day of Judgement be' they ask. 12 On the Day of Judgment they will be punished by the fire 13 and will be told, "Suffer the torment which you wanted to experience immediately". 14 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and fountains. 15 They shall receive what their Lord will bestow on them. They have done good works in the past, 16 they would lie asleep during but a small part of the night, 17 and at dawn would ask forgiveness, 18 and the beggar and the outcast had a share in their wealth. 19 And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure. 20 just as [there are signs thereof] within your own selves: can you not, then, see? 21 And in heaven is [the source of] your sustenance [on earth] and [of] all that you are promised [for your life after death]: 22 So, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is certainly true, as true as the fact of your speaking. 23
