Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the (steeds) that run, with panting.
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
Then those that produce fire striking,
Striking sparks of fire (by their hooves).
Striking sparks of fire
Then those that make raids at morn,
And scouring to the raid at dawn.
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Then thereby raise dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while.
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
And penetrating forthwith as one into the midst (of the foe).
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Verily, man () is ungrateful to his Lord.
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And to that 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.
And verily, he is violent in the 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,
Knows he not that when the contents of the graves are poured forth (all mankind is resurrected)?
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And that which is in the breasts (of men) is made known?
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Verily, that Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) their Lord will be Well-Acquainted with them (as to their deeds and will reward them for their deeds).
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
