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 Merciful, the Most Kind.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
And what can make you understand what the night visitor is?
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
It is the shining star.
إِنْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
Every soul certainly has a protector watching over it.
فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْإِنْسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
So let each human think carefully about what they were created from.
خُلِقَ مِنْ مَاءٍ دَافِقٍ
They were created from a rushing fluid.
يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
That comes from between the backbone and the ribs.
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
Truly, He is able to bring them back to life.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
On the Day when all secrets will be revealed.
فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Then he'll have no strength and no helper.
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
By the sky that sends returns.
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
And by the earth that splits open.
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
This message is a clear and decisive word.
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
And it isn't something to joke about.
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
They are planning a plot.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
But I am also planning a plan.
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
So give the disbelievers time — give them just a little more time.
