Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
Then those that produce fire striking,
Striking sparks of fire
فالموريات قدحا
Then those that make raids at morn,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
Then thereby raise dust,
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
فوسطن به جمعا
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
وحصل ما في الصدور
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
