Chapter 86, 17 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
Waalssamai waalttariqi
By the sky and the night comer -
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
It is the piercing star -
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
So let man observe from what he was created.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
Yawma tubla alssarairu
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
Then man will have no power or any helper.
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
By the sky which returns [rain]
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Innahu laqawlun faslun
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
Wama huwa bialhazli
And it is not amusement.
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Waakeedu kaydan
But I am planning a plan.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
