Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the dipersing winds that disperse. 1 Then those clouds bearing the load (of minute things in space). 2 and the smooth runners 3 And the angels who distribute the affair. 4 Verily the promise made to you is true: 5 And lo! the judgment will indeed befall. 6 CONSIDER the firmament full of starry paths! 7 Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say, 8 From which only he turns who is turned away. 9 Destroyed are the falsifiers 10 Who are careless in an abyss! 11 They ask, "When it will be the Day of Judgment?" 12 The day they will be burnt in the Fire, 13 [and will be told:] "Taste this your trial! It is this that you were so hastily asking for!" 14 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and fountains. 15 Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good. 16 they would lie asleep during but a small part of the night, 17 And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness, 18 And the beggar and the destitute had a share in their wealth. 19 In the earth are signs for those having sure faith; 20 there are signs for firm believers. Do you not see then? 21 And in heaven is your provision, and that you are promised. 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
