Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
And strike sparks of fire,
Then those that produce fire striking,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
Striking sparks of fire
And push home the charge in the morning,
Then those that make raids at morn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Then thereby raise dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
And most surely he is a witness of that.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
