Chapter 100, 11 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
By the racers, panting,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
Striking sparks of fire
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Then those that produce fire striking,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And the chargers at dawn,
Then those that make raids at morn,
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Then thereby raise dust,
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
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
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And that within the breasts is obtained,
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
