Surah Al-Adiyat is the 100th chapter of the Quran and is named after the word 'Al-Adiyat', which appears in the first verse of the chapter. The word 'Al-Adiyat' is the plural of 'Adiyah', which means 'a swift-moving horse' or 'charger'. This chapter describes the scene of a battlefield where horses are charging towards the enemy, and the sound they make as they run. It is also believed to be a reference to the powerful and unstoppable nature of the message of Islam.

The Surah speaks about the ungratefulness of man and the need to be mindful of Allah's blessings. It also highlights the importance of charity, and how one's wealth should not become a source of pride or arrogance. The chapter concludes by reminding us that on the Day of Judgment, only the righteous will be saved and the disbelievers will be punished.
