Chapter 86, 17 verses
Waalssamai waalttariqi
By the Sky and the Night - Visitant (therein); -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء والطارق
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
And what will explain to thee what the Night - Visitant is? -
وما أدراك ما الطارق
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
(It is) the Star of piercing brightness; -
النجم الثاقب
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
There is no soul but has a protector over it.
إن كل نفس لما عليها حافظ
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
Now let man but think from what he is created!
فلينظر الإنسان مم خلق
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
He is created from a drop emitted -
خلق من ماء دافق
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)!
إنه على رجعه لقادر
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
Yawma tubla alssarairu
The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,
يوم تبلى السرائر
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
(Man) will have no power, and no helper.
فما له من قوة ولا ناصر
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
والسماء ذات الرجع
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation), -
والأرض ذات الصدع
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Innahu laqawlun faslun
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
إنه لقول فصل
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Wama huwa bialhazli
It is not a thing for amusement.
وما هو بالهزل
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
إنهم يكيدون كيدا
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Waakeedu kaydan
And I am planning a scheme.
وأكيد كيدا
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).
فمهل الكافرين أمهلهم رويدا
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
