وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ 1
By the sky and the night comer
At-Tariq
The Nightcommer
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ 1
By the sky and the night comer
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ 2
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ 3
It is the piercing star
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ 4
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ 5
So let man observe from what he was created.
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ 6
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ 7
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ 8
Indeed, He [i.e., Allāh], to return him [to life], is Able.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ 9
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ 10
Then he [i.e., man] will have no power or any helper.
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ 11
By the sky which sends back
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ 12
And [by] the earth which splits,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ 13
Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a decisive statement,
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ 14
And it is not amusement.
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا 15
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا 16
But I am planning a plan.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا 17
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
