’ By the galloping, panting horses, striking sparks of fire ˹with their hoofs˺, launching raids at dawn, stirring up ˹clouds of˺ dust, and penetrating into the heart of enemy lines ! Surely humankind is ungrateful to their Lord— and they certainly attest to this — and they are truly extreme in their love of ˹worldly˺ gains. Do they not know that when the contents of the graves will be spilled out, and the secrets of the hearts will be laid bare— surely their Lord is All-Aware of them on that Day. Hadees: 100:1~11 [al-`Adiyat (The Courser, The Chargers)]
This Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا “By the racers, panting,” [100:1]
There are 11 Ayat in this Surah.
وَٱلۡعَـٰدِیَـٰتِ ضَبۡحࣰا فَٱلۡمُورِیَـٰتِ قَدۡحࣰا فَٱلۡمُغِیرَ ٰتِ صُبۡحࣰا فَأَثَرۡنَ بِهِۦ نَقۡعࣰا فَوَسَطۡنَ بِهِۦ جَمۡعًا إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودࣱ وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَ ٰلِكَ لَشَهِیدࣱ وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلۡخَیۡرِ لَشَدِیدٌ ۞ أَفَلَا یَعۡلَمُ إِذَا بُعۡثِرَ مَا فِی ٱلۡقُبُورِ وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِی ٱلصُّدُورِ إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمۡ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ لَّخَبِیرُۢ
The Surah tells us the ungratefulness of man and where it leads him. It also reminds us that Allah is aware of all the hidden secrets of human souls and He will expose them on the Day of Judgment.
قسم ہے اُن (گھوڑوں) کی جو پھنکارے مارتے ہوئے دوڑتے ہیں پھر (اپنی ٹاپوں سے) چنگاریاں جھاڑتے ہیں پھر صبح سویرے چھاپہ مارتے ہیں پھر اس موقع پر گرد و غبار اڑاتے ہیں پھر اِسی حالت میں کسی مجمع کے اندر جا گھستے ہیں حقیقت یہ ہے کہ انسان اپنے رب کا بڑا ناشکرا ہے اور وہ خود اِس پر گواہ ہے اور وہ مال و دولت کی محبت میں بری طرح مبتلا ہے تو کیا وہ اُس حقیقت کو نہیں جانتا جب قبروں میں جو کچھ (مدفون) ہے اُسے نکال لیا جائے گا اور سینوں میں جو کچھ (مخفی) ہے اُسے برآمد کر کے اس کی جانچ پڑتال کی جائے گی؟ یقیناً اُن کا رب اُس روز اُن سے خوب باخبر ہوگا
Its object is to make the people realise how evil man becomes when he denies the Hereafter, or becomes heedless of it, and also to warn them that in the Hereafter not only their visible and apparent deeds but even the secrets hidden in their hearts too will be subjected to scrutiny.
For this purpose the general chaos and confusion prevailing in Arabia, with which the whole country was in turmoil, has been presented as an argument. Bloodshed, loot and plunder raged on every side. Tribes were subjecting tribes to raids, and no one could have peaceful sleep at night from fear that some enemy tribe might raid his settlement early in the morning. Every Arab was fully conscious of this state of affairs and realised that it was wrong. Although the plundered bemoaned his miserable, helpless state and the plunderer rejoiced, yet when the plunderer himself was plundered, he too realised how wretched was the condition in which the whole nation was involved. Referring to this very state of affairs, it has been said: Unaware of the second life after death and his accountability before God in it, man has become ungrateful to his Lord and Sustainer. He is using the powers and abilities given by God for perpetrating tyranny and pillage; blinded by the love of worldly wealth he tries to obtain it by every means, however impure and filthy, and his own state itself testifies that by abusing the powers bestowed by his Lord, he is being ungrateful to Him. He would never have behaved so, had he known the time when the dead will be raised from the graves, and when the intentions and motives with which he had done all sorts of deeds in the world, will be exposed and brought out before everyone to see. At that time the Lord and Sustainer of men shall be well informed of what one had done and what punishment or reward one deserved.
