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