I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
By the racers, panting,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
وَٱلْعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبْحًا
Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
By the racers, panting,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
وَٱلْعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبْحًا
Then those that produce fire striking,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Faalmooriyati qadhan
فَٱلْمُورِيَٰتِ قَدْحًا
Then those that make raids at morn,
And the chargers at dawn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا
Then thereby raise dust,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ
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
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And that within the breasts is obtained,
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ
