الذَّارِيَات

By the (Winds) that scatter broadcast;

And those that lift and bear away heavy weights;

And those that flow with ease and gentleness;

And those that distribute and apportion by Command;-

Verily that which ye are promised is true;

And verily Judgment and Justice must indeed come to pass.

By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths,

Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant,

Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded.

Woe to the falsehood-mongers,-

Those who (flounder) heedless in a flood of confusion:

They ask, "When will be the Day of Judgment and Justice?"

(It will be) a Day when they will be tried (and tested) over the Fire!

"Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!"

As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs,

Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life.

They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night,

And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness;

And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking).

On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith,
