আল তারিক্

1 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);

1 Waalssamai waalttariqi

2 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is?

2 Wama adraka ma alttariqu

3 (It is) the star of piercing brightness;

3 Alnnajmu alththaqibu

4 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)

4 In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

5 So let man see from what he is created!

5 Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa

6 He is created from a water gushing forth,

6 Khuliqa min main dafiqin

7 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs.

7 Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi

8 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)!

8 Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

9 The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth).

9 Yawma tubla alssarairu

10 Then he will have no power, nor any helper.

10 Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin

11 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again.

11 Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi

12 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants).

12 Waalardi thati alssadAAi

13 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).

13 Innahu laqawlun faslun

14 And it is not a thing for amusement.

14 Wama huwa bialhazli

15 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم).

15 Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

16 And I (too) am planning a plan.

16 Waakeedu kaydan

17 So give a respite to the disbelievers; deal gently with them for a while.

17 Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
