Al Adiyat

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,

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

2 Striking sparks of fire

2 Striking sparks of fire (by their hooves).

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn.

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

4 And raise the dust in clouds the while.

5 Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),

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

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

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

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

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

8 And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.

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

9 Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth

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

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

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

11 On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them.

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).
