Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
CONSIDER the winds that scatter the dust far and wide, 1 And (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water; 2 And those that flow with ease and gentleness; 3 Then by oath of those which distribute by the command. 4 indeed, that which you are promised is true, 5 The Judgement will indeed take place. 6 By the heaven full of paths, 7 You are indeed in different opinions regarding this Qur’an. 8 From which only he turns who is turned away. 9 Woe to the falsehood-mongers,- 10 Those who are in heedlessness neglectful. 11 'When will the Day of Judgement be' they ask. 12 On that Day they shall be tried at the Fire, 13 "Taste you your trial (burning)! This is what you used to ask to be hastened!" 14 The pious ones will live amidst gardens and springs, 15 Receiving what is given them by their Lord. They were surely the virtuous before this. 16 They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night, 17 and would ask for forgiveness at 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 And in the earth there are signs for those who are sure, 20 And in yourselves. Then will you not see? 21 And in the heaven lies your sustenance, and the promise you are given. 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
