Surah al-'Adiyat.
0:16
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:22
By the galloping horses, panting.
0:25
And the producers of sparks by striking.
0:27
And the chargers at dawn.
0:30
And stirring up dust thereby.
0:33
And penetrating into the midst of the gathering thereby.
0:36
Indeed, mankind is ungrateful to his Lord.
0:42
“And lo! he is a witness unto that;” (100:7)
0:48
“And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.” (100:8)
0:55
Our Lord, the Exalted, swears by the galloping horses, panting.
0:59
These are the horses that run while making a neighing sound.
1:03
He swears by the producers of sparks, which strike fire.
1:08
Horses produce fire with their hooves.
1:11
People produce fire with flint and steel.
1:13
The tongue, for instance, produces sparks through speech.
1:17
Men, for instance, produce sparks through cunning.
1:20
And likewise, horses.
1:22
They stir up war among their riders when they meet in battle.
1:26
Allah has not provided any indication that a specific instance is intended to the exclusion of others.
1:32
Therefore, everything that produces fire by striking.
1:35
Is included in what He has sworn by.
1:37
Due to the generality of the literal meaning.
1:40
And He swears by the chargers at dawn.
1:43
He did not specify one charging group to the exclusion of another.
1:47
So every group that charges at dawn.
1:49
Is included in what He has sworn by.
1:52
Regarding His saying, "And stirring up dust thereby."
1:55
They raised dust in the valley.
1:57
And they penetrated with their riders into the midst of the enemy gathering.
2:01
Indeed, man is ungrateful for the blessings of his Lord.
2:04
Indeed, Allah is a witness to his Lord's ingratitude.
2:08
And indeed, man is intense in his love for wealth.
2:13
“Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth” (100:9)
2:19
And what is in the breasts is laid bare.
2:23
“On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them.” (100:11)
2:32
Does this man, who possesses these characteristics, not know?
2:36
When that which is in the graves is scattered.
2:39
And that which is in them of the dead is brought out and searched.
2:42
And distinguished and made manifest.
2:44
And what is in the hearts of people, of good and evil, is brought to light.
2:48
Indeed, their Lord, regarding their deeds.
2:50
And what they concealed in their hearts and kept hidden therein.
2:54
And what they made manifest through their limbs of those deeds.
2:57
Is All-Knowing; nothing of it is hidden from Him.
3:00
And He will recompense them for all of that on that Day.
