Section IV: Early Madinan Chapters (623 – 627 CE)

Chapter 100 - 93

The Charging Horses (Surah Al-Adiyat)

In the name of Allah, the God of Mercy, the Endower of Mercy!

[Recitation]

The charging (horses)

            Running, uttering cries and panting

                        Striking (with hooves) and sparking!

Attacking in the early morning

Raising a cloud of dust

            Penetrating the enemy stronghold!

Yes, mankind is ungrateful

            To their Sustainer God

                        Being a witness themselves

                                    Grossly in love of wealth and easy life!

Do they not know (the day)?

            When the contents of the graves are brought out

                        The secrets of the hearts are exposed

                                    On that Day their Sustainer God informs them all!

[Recitation]
