By the sky and the night comer
86
Surah At-Tariq
الطارقThe Night-Comer
17 Verses Makkah
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ 2
And what can make you know what is the night comer
ٱلنَّجۡمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ 3
It is the piercing star
إِن كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ لَّمَّا عَلَيۡهَا حَافِظٞ 4
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector
فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ 5
So let man observe from what he was created
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٖ دَافِقٖ 6
He was created from a fluid, ejected
يَخۡرُجُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ ٱلصُّلۡبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ 7
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجۡعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٞ 8
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able
يَوۡمَ تُبۡلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ 9
The Day when secrets will be put on trial
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٖ وَلَا نَاصِرٖ 10
Then man will have no power or any helper
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجۡعِ 11
By the sky which returns [rain]
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدۡعِ 12
And [by] the earth which cracks open
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلٞ فَصۡلٞ 13
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلۡهَزۡلِ 14
And it is not amusement
إِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيدُونَ كَيۡدٗا 15
Indeed, they are planning a plan
وَأَكِيدُ كَيۡدٗا 16
But I am planning a plan
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدَۢا 17
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile
