Imagine you are a bedouin in the arab world. Your hobbies include sword fighting, horse riding etc.
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Wal'aadi yaati dabha
بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ
1. وَٱلْعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبْحًا
If we compare horse riding with modern technology, we could compare this with a car. Allah mentions in the quran 'aladyat' now aladyat is known as the battle horse and not just any battle horse it is the female horse (mare). Which are known for their speed in battle.
We come to know that this is the most exotic sports car one of the best of its range if it is compared to modern day technology.
So, now we should know this being mentioned it catches the attention of the bedoin , as it's his favourite thing they are obsessed with the battle horse and it's qualities.
Now allah goes to describe the qualities of this horse. So he mentions, the word dabha Dabha in the Arabic language means fierce breathing. when will a person hear breathing of a horse? when the rider is on top of the horse and the horse is galloping so fast that its breathing can be heard by the rider. Again I would like to compare this to a magnificent sports car. The driver is in the car un aware of anything but the road ahead of him and his car. And we would compare the breathing to the Rev of the car Or when one changes gear and hears the vroom etc. would this not be a race drivers dream.?
Fal moori yaati qadha
2. فَٱلْمُورِيَٰتِ قَدْحً
To continue and to sketch a scene in the readers/listeners mind subhanallah allah subhana wata'ala describes this horse and his state of action as falmooryati qadha.
Qadha In the Arabic language has a few meanings in here it is used as the making of fire, friction which causes sparks. We understand by this the quran is mentioning that the horse is galloping so fast that his hooves touching stones In the ground are causing sparks. If we picture this in the mind of the bedouin he will be entranced by this scene and words.
Comparing this again just to see it more in this day worldly perspective. I would say, when the driver changes the gear in a sports car and it gives out a little spark from its exhaust does the driver not think he is invincible and wants to go even faster etc.
3. فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحً
Falmugheerat e subha Subhanallah. Allah Swt places such beauty in even one word one cannot even begin to comprehend.
Allah describes that this horse and the rider is galloping towards their enemy at day time. Not a fear In this world, as according to war strategists the best time to attack is at night but these riders are fearless of any repercussions and are ridng to attack the enemy like a pack of wolves preying for rabbits.
Fa atharna bihee naq'a
4. فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا
to increase the perception and imagination of the listener allah Swt says the word naq'a which allows us to see the riders from the enemies point of view this word means a cloud of dust created from fast travel. The enemy can now see a cloud of dust travelling to them at high speed
. فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعً
Fa wa satna bihi jam'a
allah Swt. carries on this enchanting and fascinating story this reader or listener is completely immersed and allah ta'ala explains that now the riders and horses have penetrated the enemy ranks. So now the riders are in between their enemy and the enemy is all around them.
You have to understand that this is all a description of a battle horse and it's qualities. At this moment the listener is admiring the battle mare . He is sayin wow how loyal is this horse it knows that the spear of the enemy will hurt itself before the rider but still it says determined and does not flinch and protects it's master.
Normally animal instincts cause the animal to run away at the sight of danger but this horse is trained by his master to stay firm.
Allah beautifully stops this and cuts the scene out and says what he wanted to say at the beginning but now he has the readers attention.
6. إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُو
Innal insana lirab bhi lakanood
Allah subhana wata'ala knows what the reader is thinking and he says that. Subhanallah
Hang on you are admiring this horse and how loyal he is to his master but in fact you have a master and you aren't very loyal or obedient at all.
This renders the listener speachless. This point hits the listeners heart in such away that he is unable to disagree
