Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا
By the racers, panting,
Then those that produce fire striking,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Then those that make raids at morn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا
And the chargers at dawn,
Then thereby raise dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
And most surely he is a witness of that.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ
And that within the breasts is obtained,
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌ
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
