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