By the sky and the night comer -
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
Chapter 86, 17 verses
By the sky and the night comer -
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
It is the piercing star -
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
So let man observe from what he was created.
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
Then man will have no power or any helper.
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
By the sky which returns [rain]
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
And it is not amusement.
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
But I am planning a plan.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
