The Racers · al-'Adiyat · سورة العاديات · 11 ayahs

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا

By the snorting chargers,

فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا

by the strikers of sparks [with their hoofs],

فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا

by the raiders at dawn,

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا

raising therein a trail of dust,

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا

and cleaving therein a host!

إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ

Indeed man is ungrateful to his Lord,

وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ

and indeed he is [himself] witness to that!

وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ

And indeed he is an avid lover of wealth.

أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ

Does he not know, when what is [buried] in the graves is turned over,

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ

and what is [concealed] in the breasts is divulged,

إِنَّ رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَخَبِيرٌ

on that day their Lord will be well informed about them [and their deeds]?
