Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the winds that scatter the dust, 1 by the clouds which are heavily loaded with water, 2 And (the ships) that float with ease and gentleness; 3 Then by oath of those which distribute by the command. 4 surely that you are promised is true, 5 the Judgement will surely come to pass -- 6 I swear by the heaven full of ways. 7 surely, you are in different sayings, 8 he is turned away from [the truth] who is destined to be so turned away. 9 Cursed be the liars, 10 who flounder in the depths of ignorance. 11 'When will the Day of Judgement be' they ask. 12 It will be the Day when they shall be scourged by the Fire 13 "Taste you your trial (burning)! This is what you used to ask to be hastened!" 14 Surely the God-fearing will find themselves in the midst of gardens and springs. 15 Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good. 16 They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night, 17 And used to seek forgiveness before dawn. 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 On the earth, and in yourselves, 20 just as [there are signs thereof] within your own selves: can you not, then, see? 21 And in heaven is your provision and also what you are being 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
