Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the winds that scatter the dust, 1 and those that carry the burden [of heavy clouds,] 2 and those speeding along with ease, 3 And the angels who distribute the affair. 4 Verily, that which you are promised is true indeed, 5 And verily the Requital is surely to befall. 6 By the beautiful heavens, 7 surely you are at variance (about the Hereafter); 8 From which only he turns who is turned away. 9 Doomed are the conjecturers 10 Who are careless in an abyss! 11 They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?" 12 [It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire 13 (And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten. 14 The pious ones will live amidst gardens and springs, 15 Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good; 16 They slept but a little at night, 17 and at dawn would ask forgiveness, 18 and in their wealth was a share for whosoever asked and for whosoever was prevented. 19 And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith] 20 And also in your own selves. Behold ye not? 21 And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you are threatened with. 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
