Surah Al-'Ādiyāt, verse 1
وَٱلْعَـٰدِيَـٰتِ ضَبْحًاBy the galloping, panting horses,
Al-’Ȃdiyât (Surah 100)
Al-'Ādiyāt (The Galloping Horses)
Makki SurahIntroduction
This Meccan sûrah stresses the fact that people will be accountable on Judgment Day for their ingratitude to their Lord. The scene of the people emerging from their graves (verse 9) is elaborated upon in the next sûrah.
In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
Human Ingratitude
1. By the galloping, panting horses, 2. striking sparks of fire (with their hoofs), 3. launching raids at dawn, 4. stirring up (clouds of) dust, 5. and penetrating into the heart of enemy lines! 6. Surely humankind is ungrateful to their Lord— 7. and they certainly attest to this— 8. and they are truly extreme in their love of (worldly) gains. 9. Do they not know that when the contents of the graves will be spilled out, 10. and the secrets of the hearts will be laid bare— 11. surely their Lord is All-Aware of them on that Day.

فَٱلْمُورِيَـٰتِ قَدْحًا٢
فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا٣

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ٦
وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ٧
وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ٨
۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ٩
