وَالسَّمَآءِ وَالطَّارِقِ ۙ ١
86:1
By the heaven and the nightcomer -
وَمَاۤ اَدۡرٰٮكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ ۙ ٢
86:2
And what can make you know what is the nightcomer?
النَّجۡمُ الثَّاقِبُ ۙ ٣
86:3
It is the piercing star -
اِنۡ كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيۡهَا حَافِظٌ ؕ ٤
86:4
There is no soul except that it has over it a guardian [angel].
فَلۡيَنۡظُرِ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ؕ ٥
86:5
So let man observe from what he was created.
خُلِقَ مِنۡ مَآءٍ دَافِقٍ ۙ ٦
86:6
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
يَّخۡرُجُ مِنۡۢ بَيۡنِ الصُّلۡبِ وَالتَّرَآٮِٕبِ ؕ ٧
86:7
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
اِنَّهٗ عَلٰى رَجۡعِهٖ لَقَادِرٌ ؕ ٨
86:8
Indeed, He, to return him [to life], is Able.
يَوۡمَ تُبۡلَى السَّرَآٮِٕرُ ۙ ٩
86:9
The Day when secrets will be exposed,
فَمَا لَهٗ مِنۡ قُوَّةٍ وَّلَا نَاصِرٍ ؕ ١٠
86:10
Then will man have no power or any helper.
وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجۡعِ ۙ ١١
86:11
By the heaven which returns [rain],
وَالۡاَرۡضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدۡعِ ۙ ١٢
86:12
And [by] the earth which splits [with growth],
اِنَّهٗ لَقَوۡلٌ فَصۡلٌ ۙ ١٣
86:13
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
وَّمَا هُوَ بِالۡهَزۡلِ ؕ ١٤
86:14
And it is not amusement.
اِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيۡدُوۡنَ كَيۡدًا ۙ ١٥
86:15
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
وَاَكِيۡدُ كَيۡدًا ۚ ١٦
86:16
But I am planning a plan.
فَمَهِّلِ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ اَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدًا ٪ ١٧
86:17
So allow time for the disbelievers. Give them respite for a while.
