Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
By the racers, panting,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
Then those that produce fire striking,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
فالموريات قدحا
Then those that make raids at morn,
And the chargers at dawn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
Then thereby raise dust,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
فوسطن به جمعا
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And that within the breasts is obtained,
وحصل ما في الصدور
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
