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