Drivers of the Winds (Al-Dhaareyaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing 1 Then by oath of those which carry the burdens. 2 and those speeding along with ease, 3 then by the distributors (angels), ordered; 4 surely that you are promised is true, 5 and the Day of Judgment will inevitably take place. 6 CONSIDER the firmament full of starry paths! 7 surely you speak at variance, 8 perverted in his views thereon is he who would deceive himself! 9 Woe to the liars 10 Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless. 11 They ask: when is the Day of Requital coming? 12 On the Day of Judgment they will be punished by the fire 13 And it will be said to them, “Taste your own roasting; this is what you were impatient for.” 14 Verily the God-fearing will be amid Gardens and water-springs. 15 taking whatsoever their Lord has given them; they were good-doers before that. 16 Little of the night they were wont to slumber. 17 And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness; 18 And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share. 19 There are signs in the earth for those who are firm in their faith, 20 And also in your own selves. Behold ye not? 21 In the sky is your provision and that which you are promised. 22 This, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth is as certain as your ability to speak. 23
