Chapter 100, 11 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
وَٱلْعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبْحًا
Striking sparks of fire
Then those that produce fire striking,
And strike sparks of fire,
فَٱلْمُورِيَٰتِ قَدْحًا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Then those that make raids at morn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Then thereby raise dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ
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,
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
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?
إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ
