Surah Al 'Adiyat
Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
-
وَالْعٰدِيٰتِ ضَبْحًاۙ
Wal-‘ādiyāti ḍabḥā(n).
’ By the galloping, panting horses,
-
فَالْمُوْرِيٰتِ قَدْحًاۙ
Fal-mūriyāti qadḥā(n).
striking sparks of fire ˹with their hoofs˺,
-
فَالْمُغِيْرٰتِ صُبْحًاۙ
Fal-mugīrāti ṣubḥā(n).
launching raids at dawn,
-
فَاَثَرْنَ بِهٖ نَقْعًاۙ
Fa'aṡarna bihī naq‘ā(n).
stirring up ˹clouds of˺ dust,
-
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهٖ جَمْعًاۙ
Fawasaṭna bihī jam‘ā(n).
and penetrating into the heart of enemy lines!
-
اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهٖ لَكَنُوْدٌ ۚ
Innal-insāna lirabbihī lakanūd(un).
Surely humankind is ungrateful to their Lord—
-
وَاِنَّهٗ عَلٰى ذٰلِكَ لَشَهِيْدٌۚ
Wa innahū ‘alā żālika lasyahīd(un).
and they certainly attest to this—
-
وَاِنَّهٗ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيْدٌ ۗ
Wa innahū liḥubbil-khairi lasyadīd(un).
and they are truly extreme in their love of ˹worldly˺ gains.
-
۞ اَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ اِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى الْقُبُوْرِۙ
Afalā ya‘lamu iżā bu‘ṡira mā fil-qubūr(i).
Do they not know that when the contents of the graves will be spilled out,
-
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى الصُّدُوْرِۙ
Wa ḥuṣṣila mā fiṣ-ṣudūr(i).
and the secrets of the hearts will be laid bare—
-
اِنَّ رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ لَّخَبِيْرٌ ࣖ
Inna rabbahum bihim yauma'iżil lakhabīr(un).
surely their Lord is All-Aware of them on that Day.
