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),
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
Striking sparks of fire
And strike sparks of fire,
Then those that produce fire striking,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
Then those that make raids at morn,
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Then thereby raise dust,
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
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
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
