سُورَةُ العَادِيَاتِ

The Chargers
Bismillah
100:1
وَٱلۡعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبۡحٗا ١
By the [steeds] that charge, with panting [breath],
100:2
فَٱلۡمُورِيَٰتِ قَدۡحٗا ٢
and strike sparks of fire [with their horseshoes],
100:3
فَٱلۡمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبۡحٗا ٣
and push home the charge, at dawn,
100:4
فَأَثَرۡنَ بِهِۦ نَقۡعٗا ٤
and raise the dust,
100:5
فَوَسَطۡنَ بِهِۦ جَمۡعًا ٥
and penetrate forthwith into the midst [of the enemies] en masse.
100:6
إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٞ ٦
Truly, Man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
100:7
وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٞ ٧
and to that [fact] he bears witness [by his deeds];
100:8
وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلۡخَيۡرِ لَشَدِيدٌ ٨
and tenacious is he in his love of wealth.
100:9
أَفَلَا يَعۡلَمُ إِذَا بُعۡثِرَ مَا فِي ٱلۡقُبُورِ ٩
Does he not know, when that which is in the graves is brought out,
100:10
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي ٱلصُّدُورِ ١٠
and that which is [locked up] in hearts is made manifest,
100:11
إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّخَبِيرُۢ ١١
that their Lord will be All-Knowing of them, that Day?
