Ayah First 1 الأية الأولي

By the chargers, the steeds that charge in attack and snort [with a], snorting â

raising, stirring up, therein, in the place of their charge or at that time [of

Ayah 100:5 الأية
Tafseer
cleaving therewith, with the dust, a host, of the enemy, that is to say, cutting
right into their centre! (the verb is supplemented to the noun [in the above instances] because it serves to
explain the verbal action, in other words, waâllātī âadawna fa-awrayna fa-agharna, âby those that charge, then
strike sparks, then raidâ).
Ayah 100:6 الأية
Tafseer
Verily man, the disbeliever, is ungrateful to his Lord, thankless, denying [the
reality of] His graces, exalted be He,
Ayah 100:7 الأية
Tafseer
and verily to that, ingratitude of his, he is a witness, bearing witness against

Ayah 100:8 الأية
Tafseer
And verily in the love of wealth he is avid, and is therefore niggardly with it.
Ayah 100:9 الأية
Tafseer
Does he not know that, when that which is in the graves, in the way of the dead,
is strewn, when it is turned over and brought out, that is to say, [that when] they are raised,
Ayah 100:10 الأية
Tafseer
760 and that which is in the breasts, the hearts, of disbelief or faith, is
obtained, [when] it is revealed and examined,
Ayah 100:11 الأية
Tafseer
on that day their Lord will indeed be Aware of them, Knower [of them] and will
requite them for their disbelief (the pronoun reverts to the plural because of the [collective] import
of the term âmanâ; this sentence indicates the direct object of [the verb] yaâlamu, â[does he not]
knowâ, that is to say, âWe will requite him at the time mentionedâ; khabīrun, âAwareâ, is semantically connected
to yawmaâidhin, âon that dayâ, even though [in fact] God is ever Aware, because that is the Day of
Requital.
