Surah 86
At-Tariq
The Night-Comer
الطارق
17 ayat · Meccan · Juz 30
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
Wassamaaa'i wattaariq
By the sky and the night comer -
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
Wa maaa adraaka mattaariq
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
Annajmus saaqib
It is the piercing star -
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
In kullu nafsil lammaa 'alaihaa haafiz
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
Fal yanzuril insaanu mimma khuliq
So let man observe from what he was created.
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
Khuliqa mim maaa'in daafiq
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
Yakhruju mim bainissulbi wat taraaa'ib
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
Innahoo 'alaa raj'ihee laqaadir
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
Yawma tublas saraaa'ir
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Famaa lahoo min quwwatinw wa laa naasir
Then man will have no power or any helper.
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
Wassamaaa'i zaatir raj'
By the sky which returns [rain]
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
Wal ardi zaatis sad'
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Innahoo laqawlun fasl
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
Wa maa huwa bil hazl
And it is not amusement.
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Innahum yakeedoona kaidaa
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Wa akeedu kaidaa
But I am planning a plan.
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
Famahhilil kaafireena amhilhum ruwaidaa
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
