Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the scatterers (the wind) scattering, 1 Then those clouds bearing the load (of minute things in space). 2 Then by oath of those which move with ease. 3 Then those (angels who) distribute blessings by Our command; 4 Verily the promise made to you is true: 5 And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen. 6 By the heaven containing pathways, 7 Indeed, you are in differing speech. 8 and perverted therefrom are some. 9 Destroyed are the falsifiers 10 Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless. 11 They ask: when is the Day of Requital coming? 12 [It will be] a Day when they will be sorely tried by the fire, 13 Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on. 14 The pious ones will live amidst gardens and springs, 15 Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life. 16 Little of the night they were wont to slumber. 17 and in the mornings they would ask for forgiveness; 18 and sharing their possessions with the beggars and the deprived. 19 In the earth are signs for those having sure faith; 20 There is also evidence of the Truth within your own selves. Will you then not see? 21 And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised. 22 for, by the Sustainer of heaven and earth, this [life after death] is the very truth - as true as that you are endowed with speech! 23
