Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the (Winds) that scatter broadcast; 1 Then by oath of those which carry the burdens. 2 and those that speed along with gentle ease, 3 and distributing the command of God at His behest! 4 Verily that which ye are promised is true; 5 And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen. 6 By the beautiful heavens, 7 surely you speak at variance, 8 He is turned away from it who would be turned away. 9 Destroyed are the falsifiers 10 Who are lost in deception. 11 They ask: When is the day of judgment? 12 It will be the Day when they shall be scourged by the Fire 13 (and be told): “Taste your ordeal! This is what you were seeking to hasten.” 14 Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs, 15 Accepting the rewards given by their Lord; they were indeed virtuous before this. 16 They slept but a little at night, 17 And in the dawns they prayed for forgiveness. 18 and [would assign] in all that they possessed a due share unto such as might ask [for help] and such as might suffer privation. 19 And on the earth there are signs for those who would be convinced. 20 just as [there are signs thereof] within your own selves: can you not, then, see? 21 In heaven is your sustenance, and also that which you are promised. 22 Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking. 23
