Wal Adiyat Surah in English

By the horses galloping swiftly.
Striking sparks [with their hooves].
Raiding at dawn.
Stirring up therewith clouds of dust.
Making their way thereby into the midst of the enemy.
Verily man is ungrateful to his Lord
And he himself bears witness to that.
And verily, because of his love of wealth, he is stingy.
Does he not know [what his punishment will be] when the contents of the graves are turned over.
And what is hidden in people’s hearts is brought to light?
Verily their Lord, on that day, will be fully aware of them [and their deeds].

This surah was revealed in Makkah and has 11 verses. We can break it down into three parts to understand it better:

Part 1 (Verses 1-5): Horses in Battle: The surah starts by describing horses in a war, working hard and bravely. Horses are noble, brave, and loyal animals that can do many helpful tasks for humans.

Part 2 (Verses 6-8): Human Greed and Forgetfulness: The next part talks about how humans are often ungrateful to Allah and love wealth too much. We need to remember that wealth won’t help us when we die and face Allah’s judgment.

Part 3 (Verses 9-11): The Day of Judgment: The final part reminds us of the Day of Resurrection when all our secrets will be revealed, especially to Allah, who knows everything. We should be mindful of our actions and be prepared for that day.

In summary, this surah teaches us to appreciate the hard work and loyalty of horses, to be grateful to Allah and not love wealth too much, and to remember the Day of Judgment when we will face the consequences of our actions.

Allah uses horses to remind us of His power and blessings. He swears by horses because of their strength, speed, and loyalty.

Horses:

Run swiftly, striking sparks with their hooves
Raid enemy lands at dawn, stirring up dust
Make their way into the enemy’s midst

Despite these amazing abilities, humans are often ungrateful to Allah. We:

Reluctantly give charity or do good deeds
Love wealth too much, leading us to be stingy
Focus on this world, forgetting the afterlife

Allah warns us to fear the Day of Resurrection, when:

Graves will be opened, and the dead will rise
Secrets will be revealed, and our deeds will be visible
Allah will judge us based on our actions

Remember, Allah is always aware of our deeds, but on that day, He will hold us accountable. Let’s be mindful of our actions and prioritize our relationship with Allah.
