Surah Adiyat is the 100th surah of the Quran, located in Juz’ 30 with 11 verses and 40 words. It takes its name from the first verse where God swears by the panting breath of running steeds.
The first five verses of surah Adiyat visualize for the reader a breathtaking scene early in the morning, prior to the start of a war where steeds are running with panting breaths and sparks of fire strike from their hooves. A cloud of dust is raised and they penetrate into the midst of the enemy, taking them by surprise.
Some Facts about Surah Adiyat
Surah Adiyat, also called Wal Adiyat, meaning the steeds, commences with an oath. It is the 100th surah in Juz’ 30 of the Quran composed of 11 verses and 40 words. The initial five verses of Surah Adiyat depict a scene of galloping steeds of Muslim worriers rushing towards the forces who were planning to attack the prophet (S).

Arabic Text and Translation of Surah Adiyat
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيم
In the name of Allah, the most compassionate, most merciful
وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا ﴿1﴾
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا ﴿2﴾
And strike sparks of fire,
فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا ﴿3﴾
And push home the charge in the morning,
فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا ﴿4﴾
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا ﴿5﴾
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse;-
إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ ﴿6﴾
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ ﴿7﴾
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ ﴿8﴾
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ ﴿9﴾
Does he not know, – when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ ﴿10﴾
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest-
إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌ ﴿11﴾
That their Lord had been Well-acquainted with them, (even to) that Day? 1
