I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
By the racers, panting,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
By the racers, panting,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
Then those that produce fire striking,
فالموريات قدحا
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
And strike sparks of fire,
Then those that make raids at morn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And the chargers at dawn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
Then thereby raise dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
فوسطن به جمعا
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
And most surely he is a witness of that.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
وحصل ما في الصدور
And that within the breasts is obtained,
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
