☪️ Quran Chapter 100 The Racers Al-Adiyat سورة العاديات

Revelation place: Mecca

Revelation order: 14

Number of verses: 11

Theme:

 This Surah warns of the corruption and ingratitude of mankind, especially when they forget the Hereafter. It highlights how people become consumed by greed and violence, as seen in the chaos of pre-Islamic Arabia. In contrast, warhorses grateful and obedient to their master risk their lives without hesitation, while man remains ungrateful to Allah despite countless blessings. The Surah reminds that on the Day of Judgement, not only actions but hidden intentions will be laid bare, and every soul will be held fully accountable before Allah.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the condemned.

With the name of Allah, The Gracious The Merciful.

(Acknowledge and declare that Allah is the author of the Quran)

1- By the snorting racers (Stallions charging)

2- So, the ignite strikers (War horses strike the rocks and ignite fire)

3- So, the morning (sudden) raiders

4- So, they stirred by it dust (When the war horses charge swiftly, they kick up clouds of dust)

5- So, they centered the crowd ( The Horses engulfing them making it hard to see and spreading chaos and confusion, symbolizing the obedience of the War horse even in grave danger, and the disorder and moral blindness that plagued pre-Islamic Arabia, rooted in their denial of the Hereafter)

6- Indeed, human to their God is ungrateful (Remembers misfortunes and forgets Allah’ blessings, does not thank Him for them, and forgets His kindness. In contrast to horses, though fed and cared for by humans, show gratefulness by fulfilling their duties and charging into danger at their master’s command)

7- And indeed, upon that he (Human) is a witness

8- And indeed, to the love of  goodness (worldly wealth) is intense

9- But, dose not he knows, that when scattered what is in the graves

10- And collected what in the chests (The secrets of the hearts became public, on Judgment Day)

11- Indeed, their God that day is aware (Of their apparent and hidden deeds and intensions)
