By the sky and the night comer -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء والطارق
Waalssamai waalttariqi
Chapter 86, 17 verses
By the sky and the night comer -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء والطارق
Waalssamai waalttariqi
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
وما أدراك ما الطارق
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
It is the piercing star -
النجم الثاقب
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
إن كل نفس لما عليها حافظ
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
So let man observe from what he was created.
فلينظر الإنسان مم خلق
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
خلق من ماء دافق
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
إنه على رجعه لقادر
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
يوم تبلى السرائر
Yawma tubla alssarairu
Then man will have no power or any helper.
فما له من قوة ولا ناصر
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
By the sky which returns [rain]
والسماء ذات الرجع
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
والأرض ذات الصدع
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
إنه لقول فصل
Innahu laqawlun faslun
And it is not amusement.
وما هو بالهزل
Wama huwa bialhazli
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
إنهم يكيدون كيدا
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
But I am planning a plan.
وأكيد كيدا
Waakeedu kaydan
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
فمهل الكافرين أمهلهم رويدا
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
