Chapter 100, 11 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
Striking sparks of fire
Then those that produce fire striking,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Then those that make raids at morn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Then thereby raise dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And most surely he is a witness of that.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
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,
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
