Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the dipersing winds that disperse. 1 then the bearers of weight (the clouds), 2 And those [ships] sailing with ease 3 And those who distribute (blessings) by command, 4 What you are threatened with is most surely true, 5 and the Judgement shall doubtlessly take place. 6 By the beautiful heavens, 7 your ideas are confused. 8 Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded. 9 Perish the conjecturers 10 Who are careless in an abyss! 11 They ask: “When will the Day of Judgement be?” 12 It will be the Day when they are tormented at the Fire. 13 And it will be said to them, “Taste your own roasting; this is what you were impatient for.” 14 The righteous shall live among gardens and fountains, 15 receiving their reward from their Lord. They had been righteous people before the Day of Judgment. 16 They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night, 17 and would ask for forgiveness at dawn, 18 And the beggar and the destitute had a share in their wealth. 19 There are signs in the earth for those who are firm in their faith, 20 As also in your own selves: Will ye not then see? 21 And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised. 22 Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other. 23
