Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the racers, panting,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Faalmooriyati qadhan
Striking sparks of fire
Then those that produce fire striking,
And the chargers at dawn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Then those that make raids at morn,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Then thereby raise dust,
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
And that within the breasts is obtained,
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
