Chapter 86, 17 verses
By the Sky and the Night - Visitant (therein); -
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
And what will explain to thee what the Night - Visitant is? -
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
(It is) the Star of piercing brightness; -
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
There is no soul but has a protector over it.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
Now let man but think from what he is created!
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
He is created from a drop emitted -
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)!
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
(Man) will have no power, and no helper.
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation), -
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
It is not a thing for amusement.
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
And I am planning a scheme.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
