Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the racers, panting,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Then those that produce fire striking,
Striking sparks of fire
فالموريات قدحا
And the chargers at dawn,
Then those that make raids at morn,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Then thereby raise dust,
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
فوسطن به جمعا
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
And that within the breasts is obtained,
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
وحصل ما في الصدور
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
