The Winnowing Winds

وَٱلذَّـٰرِيَٰتِ ذَرۡوٗا

By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing

فَٱلۡحَٰمِلَٰتِ وِقۡرٗا

And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water]

فَٱلۡجَٰرِيَٰتِ يُسۡرٗا

And those [ships] sailing with ease

فَٱلۡمُقَسِّمَٰتِ أَمۡرًا

And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٞ

Indeed, what you are promised is true

وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٞ

And indeed, the recompense is to occur

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡحُبُكِ

By the heaven containing pathways

إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِي قَوۡلٖ مُّخۡتَلِفٖ

Indeed, you are in differing speech

يُؤۡفَكُ عَنۡهُ مَنۡ أُفِكَ

Deluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded

قُتِلَ ٱلۡخَرَّـٰصُونَ

Destroyed are the falsifiers

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَةٖ سَاهُونَ

Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless

يَسۡـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ

They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense

يَوۡمَ هُمۡ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفۡتَنُونَ

[It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire

ذُوقُواْ فِتۡنَتَكُمۡ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

[And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs

ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحۡسِنِينَ

Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good

كَانُواْ قَلِيلٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مَا يَهۡجَعُونَ

They used to sleep but little of the night

وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ

And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness

وَفِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ

And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived

وَفِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ءَايَٰتٞ لِّلۡمُوقِنِينَ

And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]

وَفِيٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ

And in yourselves. Then will you not see

وَفِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ

And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقّٞ مِّثۡلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمۡ تَنطِقُونَ

Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيۡفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِينَ

Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham

إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗاۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٞ قَوۡمٞ مُّنكَرُونَ

When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown
