وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
By the sky and the night visitor!
The Nightly Visitor · at-Tariq · سورة الطارق · 17 ayahs
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Kind, the Most Caring.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
And what can tell you what the night visitor is?
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
It's the very bright star.
إِنْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
Every person has a guardian watching over them.
فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْإِنْسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
So let each human think about what they were created from.
خُلِقَ مِنْ مَاءٍ دَافِقٍ
They were created from flowing water.
يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
Which comes from between the backbone and the ribs.
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
Allah is able to return him.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
On the Day when all secrets will be shown.
فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Then he will have no strength and no helper.
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
By the sky that returns.
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
And by the earth that splits open.
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
It is a clear and serious message.
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
It's not a joke.
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
They make secret plans.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
And I also make My plans.
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
So give the disbelievers a little time — just wait a short while.
