Chapter 86, 17 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء والطارق
By the sky and the night comer -
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
Waalssamai waalttariqi
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
وما أدراك ما الطارق
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
النجم الثاقب
It is the piercing star -
The star of piercing brightness;
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
إن كل نفس لما عليها حافظ
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
فلينظر الإنسان مم خلق
So let man observe from what he was created.
So let man consider of what he is created:
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
خلق من ماء دافق
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
He is created of water pouring forth,
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
Coming from between the back and the ribs.
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
إنه على رجعه لقادر
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
يوم تبلى السرائر
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
Yawma tubla alssarairu
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
فما له من قوة ولا ناصر
Then man will have no power or any helper.
He shall have neither strength nor helper.
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
والسماء ذات الرجع
By the sky which returns [rain]
I swear by the raingiving heavens,
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
والأرض ذات الصدع
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
And the earth splitting (with plants);
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
إنه لقول فصل
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
Most surely it is a decisive word,
Innahu laqawlun faslun
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
وما هو بالهزل
And it is not amusement.
And it is no joke.
Wama huwa bialhazli
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
إنهم يكيدون كيدا
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
Surely they will make a scheme,
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
وأكيد كيدا
But I am planning a plan.
And I (too) will make a scheme.
Waakeedu kaydan
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
فمهل الكافرين أمهلهم رويدا
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
