Chapter 86, 17 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the heaven and the Morning Star
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
Waalssamai waalttariqi
- Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
- The piercing Star!
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
No human soul but hath a guardian over it.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
So let man consider from what he is created.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
He is created from a gushing fluid
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
That issued from between the loins and ribs.
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
Yawma tubla alssarairu
Then will he have no might nor any helper.
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Innahu laqawlun faslun
It is no pleasantry.
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
Wama huwa bialhazli
Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
And I plot a plot (against them).
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Waakeedu kaydan
So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
