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