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),
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
Striking sparks of fire
And strike sparks of fire,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
فالموريات قدحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
Faalmugheerati subhan
فالمغيرات صبحا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
فأثرن به نقعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
فوسطن به جمعا
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
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
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
۞ 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 -
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
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?
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
