Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
By the racers, panting,
And strike sparks of fire,
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
And push home the charge in the morning,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And the chargers at dawn,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And that within the breasts is obtained,
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
