Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the swift scatterers 1 and those that carry the burden [of heavy clouds,] 2 Then those (ships) that glide easily, 3 and the partitioners, 4 What you are threatened with is most surely true, 5 And verily Judgment and Justice must indeed come to pass. 6 The heavens webbed-with-tracks is witness 7 Indeed, you are in differing speech. 8 and perverted therefrom are some. 9 Woe to the liars 10 who are heedless in the immersion. 11 'When will the Day of Judgement be' they ask. 12 It will be the Day whereon in the Fire they will be burned 13 (And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten. 14 Surely those who fear God and follow the straight path will be amidst gardens and fresh springs of water, 15 Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life. 16 Little of the night would they slumber, 17 And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness; 18 and sharing their possessions with the beggars and the deprived. 19 And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith] 20 there are signs for firm believers. Do you not see then? 21 There is in the heavens your sustenance, and whatever has been promised you. 22 So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as true as your speech. 23
