Al-ʿĀdiyāt ( Arabic العاديات, DMG al-ʿĀdiyāt  'They are running') is the 100th sura of the Koran , it contains 11 verses . Their title refers to the first verse.

The first five verses contain an oath by those who run, snort, and let the sparks fly . This image can be interpreted in different ways - be it as horses or camels running to battle, as riders on a foray, or finally as pilgrims on a pilgrimage . As a result, human ingratitude towards God is deplored, as well as the love of worldly possessions. The last three verses herald the day when what is in the tombs will be cleared out and what the people hold within them will be revealed. This refers to the settlement on the day of the court .

In terms of style and content, the sura belongs to the early parts of the Koran that was revealed in Mecca (610–615). Some Muslim commentators share this opinion, including the Cairin edition of the Koran . Others, however, consider them to be medicinal .
