@Quranmajeed1412 Surah Al-Adiyat (سورة العاديات) is the 100th chapter of the Qur'an, consisting of 11 verses. It is a Makki Surah, revealed during the early period of Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) mission in Mecca. The Surah describes the intensity of warhorses charging into battle and uses that imagery to emphasize the ingratitude and negligence of human beings toward their Creator. Arabic Text and Translation: #### Verses 1-5: The Oath of War Horses 1. *وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا* *By the galloping horses, panting hard,* 2. *فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا* *Striking sparks of fire [with their hooves],* 3. *فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا* *Charging into the midst of the enemy at dawn,* 4. *فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا* *Raising a cloud of dust,* 5. *فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا* *Penetrating deep into the enemy ranks.* Explanation: These verses paint a vivid picture of warhorses charging into battle, emphasizing their speed, power, and courage. In this dramatic scene, the horses, fully devoted to their riders, gallop through danger, sparking fire with their hooves and raising dust as they break through enemy lines. The imagery signifies the level of dedication and energy the horses display, but it indirectly calls attention to how humans, despite being more capable, often fail in their devotion to Allah. #### Verses 6-8: The Human’s Ingratitude 6. *إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ* *Indeed, mankind is ungrateful to his Lord.* 7. *وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ* *And indeed, he is a witness to that.* 8. *وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ* *And indeed, in his love for wealth, he is intense.* Explanation: Here, Allah points out that human beings, despite the blessings they receive, often fail to show gratitude to their Creator. The word "Kanood" (كَنُودٌ) used here indicates someone who is highly ungrateful and forgets the favors of Allah. The love for wealth and worldly pleasures dominates human life, making them neglect their duty to their Creator, although humans themselves are aware of their own shortcomings in gratitude and obedience. #### Verses 9-11: The Day of Judgment 9. *أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ* *Does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered,* 10. *وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ* *And that which is within the breasts is brought out,* 11. *إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌ* *Indeed, their Lord is [fully] aware of them that Day.* Explanation: These verses turn the attention toward the Day of Judgment. When people are resurrected from their graves, all hidden secrets, thoughts, and deeds that were concealed in their hearts will be exposed. Allah is fully aware of everything humans do, think, or feel, and on that Day, nothing will remain hidden from Him. Themes of the Surah: 1. *Ingratitude of Man:* The Surah focuses on how man, despite Allah’s endless blessings, often fails to show gratitude and becomes too engrossed in materialism and worldly gains. 2. *Judgment and Accountability:* It reminds humans that no action, thought, or intention escapes Allah's knowledge and that they will be held accountable for their deeds in the Hereafter. 3. *Contrast Between Horses and Humans:* The warhorses’ loyalty and obedience to their riders in the thick of battle serve as a stark contrast to human negligence and ingratitude toward Allah. Surah Al-Adiyat is a powerful reminder for humans to reflect on their priorities and devotion to Allah, and it warns of the consequences of ungratefulness and love for worldly gains.
