100: The Charging Steeds (Al Aadiyat)

An early Meccan surah in which God swears by the warhorses He has subjected to man's use that man is ungrateful and misguided.

In the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy

1 By the charging steeds that pant 2 and strike sparks with their hooves, 3 who make dawn raids, 4 raising a cloud of dust, 5 and plunging into the midst of the enemy 6 man is ungrateful to this Lord- 7 and He is witness to this- 8 he is truly excessive in his love of wealth. 9 Does he not know that when the contents of graves burst forth, 10 when secrets of hearts are uncovered, on that Day, 11 their Lord will be fully aware of them all?
