By the Sky and the Night - Visitant (therein); -
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء والطارق
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
Chapter 86, 17 verses
By the Sky and the Night - Visitant (therein); -
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء والطارق
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
And what will explain to thee what the Night - Visitant is? -
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
وما أدراك ما الطارق
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
(It is) the Star of piercing brightness; -
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
The star of piercing brightness;
النجم الثاقب
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
There is no soul but has a protector over it.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
إن كل نفس لما عليها حافظ
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
Now let man but think from what he is created!
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
So let man consider of what he is created:
فلينظر الإنسان مم خلق
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
He is created from a drop emitted -
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
He is created of water pouring forth,
خلق من ماء دافق
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
Coming from between the back and the ribs.
يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)!
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
إنه على رجعه لقادر
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
يوم تبلى السرائر
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
(Man) will have no power, and no helper.
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
He shall have neither strength nor helper.
فما له من قوة ولا ناصر
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
I swear by the raingiving heavens,
والسماء ذات الرجع
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation), -
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
And the earth splitting (with plants);
والأرض ذات الصدع
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Most surely it is a decisive word,
إنه لقول فصل
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
It is not a thing for amusement.
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
And it is no joke.
وما هو بالهزل
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Surely they will make a scheme,
إنهم يكيدون كيدا
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
And I am planning a scheme.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
And I (too) will make a scheme.
وأكيد كيدا
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
فمهل الكافرين أمهلهم رويدا
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
