Chapter 100, 11 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
Striking sparks of fire
Then those that produce fire striking,
فالموريات قدحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Then those that make raids at morn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Then thereby raise dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
فوسطن به جمعا
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And most surely he is a witness of that.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
وحصل ما في الصدور
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
