What Sūrat al-ʿĀdiyāt is about

Sūrat al-ʿĀdiyāt has 11 āyāt in the thirtieth juzʼ. It opens with oaths by those that run, panting, which give the sūrah its name: striking sparks, raiding at dawn, raising dust and plunging into the midst of a crowd (100:1–5).

The oaths lead to a plain statement: the human is ungrateful to his Lord, he is a witness to it, and his love of wealth is intense (100:6–8). Does he not know that when the graves are emptied and what is in the hearts is brought out, his Lord will be fully aware of them that Day (100:9–11)?

  1. Āyāt 1–5

    By the runners

    By those that run, panting, striking sparks, raiding at dawn, stirring up dust and plunging into the midst of a crowd.

  2. Āyāt 6–11

    Ungrateful to his Lord

    The human is ungrateful to his Lord, he bears witness to it, and he is fierce in his love of wealth. Does he not know that when the graves are emptied and hearts laid bare, his Lord that Day will know them fully?
