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