100:1 ‘Âdiyâtالْعَادِيَاتِ means both the companies of warriors and their chargers. According to Rûh al-Ma‘âni the reference is to the Muslim warriors or the Companions of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and their willingness to lay down their lives for the cause of Truth. The next four verses are closely connected. Allâh himself swearing by them in this verse gives an idea of how dear these fighters who fight against the forces of evil must be to Him.
