Surah Alaq – Benefits, Translation & Transliteration
Surah Al-Adiyat English Translation
- By the galloping, panting horses
- And the producers of sparks [when] striking
- And the chargers at dawn
- stirring up [clouds of] dust
- and penetrating into the heart of enemy lines
- Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful
- And indeed, he is to that a witness
- 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
