Chapter 86, 17 verses
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the heaven and the Morning Star
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
- Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
- The piercing Star!
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
No human soul but hath a guardian over it.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
So let man consider from what he is created.
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
He is created from a gushing fluid
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
That issued from between the loins and ribs.
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Then will he have no might nor any helper.
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
It is no pleasantry.
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
And I plot a plot (against them).
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
