Chapter 100, 11 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
By the racers, panting,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
فالموريات قدحا
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Then those that produce fire striking,
And strike sparks of fire,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And the chargers at dawn,
Then those that make raids at morn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
فأثرن به نقعا
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Then thereby raise dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فوسطن به جمعا
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
وحصل ما في الصدور
And that within the breasts is obtained,
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
