Surah 86: At-Taariq سُورَةُ الطَّارِقِ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ 1

¹By the heaven and the Morning Star

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ 2

²- Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!

ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ 3

³- The piercing Star!

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ 4

⁴No human soul but hath a guardian over it.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ 5

⁵So let man consider from what he is created.

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ 6

⁶He is created from a gushing fluid

يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ 7

⁷That issued from between the loins and ribs.

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ 8

⁸Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ 9

⁹On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ 10

¹⁰Then will he have no might nor any helper.

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ 11

¹¹By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,

وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ 12

¹²And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ 13

¹³Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ 14

¹⁴It is no pleasantry.

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا 15

¹⁵Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا 16

¹⁶And I plot a plot (against them).

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا 17

¹⁷So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
