Chapter 86, 17 verses
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star);
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
(It is) the star of piercing brightness;
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels in charge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds)
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
So let man see from what he is created!
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
He is created from a water gushing forth,
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs.
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)!
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth).
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Then he will have no power, nor any helper.
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again.
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants).
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Verily, this (the Qur'an) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil).
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
And it is not a thing for amusement.
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم).
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
And I (too) am planning a plan.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
So give a respite to the disbelievers; deal gently with them for a while.
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
