And those who restrain by reprimanding,
And by oath of those who herd with a stern warning.
and the scarers scaring
and restraining [from evil] by a call to restraint,
By the angels driving away.
By those (angels) who drive the clouds in a good way.
And the drivers driving.
by those who reprove severely,
By those who drive the clouds in a good way.
And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof
by the ones who drive [the clouds] vigorously,
and the drivers driving,
And those who drive [the clouds]
by those who drive away the devil (to protect Our revelation),
Then those who drive away with reproof,
Fa<b>al</b>zz<u>a</u>jir<u>a</u>ti zajr<u>a</u><b>n</b>
and those who drive away [the wicked] with reproof
And so are strong in repelling (evil),
فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًا
And I also take an oath on the angels who drive the rainclouds and send them to wherever I command they send rain.
And I also take an oath on the angels who drive the rainclouds and send them to wherever I command they send rain.
<p>2. The second attribute of the angels has been described as: فَالزَّاجِرَ‌اتِ زَجْرً‌ا (fazzajirati zajran: those who prevent firmly). This word has been derived from زَجر	(zajr) which means to hold in check, block, prevent or restrain, also to drive back, repel or reprimand. Maulana Thanavi (رح) has translated it in the sense of those who place an impregnable check - which comprehends every possible sense of the word. Now, what is that against which the angels place their check? In view of the context of the Holy Qur'an, most commentators have answered it by saying that the enforcing of check at this place means the act of angels through which they stop the shaitans from reaching the higher levels, and a detailed description of which is going to appear a little later in the Qur'an itself.</p>
