Chapter 100, 11 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
By the racers, panting,
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
And strike sparks of fire,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
And the chargers at dawn,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
And that within the breasts is obtained,
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
