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