Al Adiyat

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the (steeds) that run, with panting.

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

2 Striking sparks of fire (by their hooves).

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn.

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

4 And raise the dust in clouds the while.

4 Then thereby raise dust,

5 And penetrating forthwith as one into the midst (of the foe).

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

6 Verily, man (disbeliever) is ungrateful to his Lord.

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

7 And to that he bears witness (by his deeds).

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

8 And verily, he is violent in the love of wealth.

8 And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.

9 Knows he not that when the contents of the graves are poured forth (all mankind is resurrected)?

9 Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,

10 And that which is in the breasts (of men) is made known?

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

11 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).

11 Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
