Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
Then those that produce fire striking,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
And strike sparks of fire,
Striking sparks of fire
Then those that make raids at morn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
And push home the charge in the morning,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Then thereby raise dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
And most surely he is a witness of that.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
