Surah At-Tariq (الطّارق)

Ayat 1–17

وَالسَّمَآءِ وَالطَّارِقِۙ ۝١

86:1By the heaven and the Morning Star

وَمَاۤ اَدۡرٰٮكَ مَا الطَّارِقُۙ ۝٢

86:2- Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!

النَّجۡمُ الثَّاقِبُۙ ۝٣

86:3- The piercing Star!

اِنۡ كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيۡهَا حَافِظٌؕ ۝٤

86:4No human soul but hath a guardian over it.

فَلۡيَنۡظُرِ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَؕ ۝٥

86:5So let man consider from what he is created.

خُلِقَ مِنۡ مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍۙ ۝٦

86:6He is created from a gushing fluid

يَّخۡرُجُ مِنۡۢ بَيۡنِ الصُّلۡبِ وَالتَّرَآٮِٕبِؕ ۝٧

86:7That issued from between the loins and ribs.

اِنَّهٗ عَلٰى رَجۡعِهٖ لَقَادِرٌؕ ۝٨

86:8Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)

يَوۡمَ تُبۡلَى السَّرَآٮِٕرُۙ ۝٩

86:9On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.

فَمَا لَهٗ مِنۡ قُوَّةٍ وَّلَا نَاصِرٍؕ ۝١٠

86:10Then will he have no might nor any helper.

وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجۡعِۙ ۝١١

86:11By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,

وَالۡاَرۡضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدۡعِۙ ۝١٢

86:12And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)

اِنَّهٗ لَقَوۡلٌ فَصۡلٌۙ ۝١٣

86:13Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,

وَّمَا هُوَ بِالۡهَزۡلِؕ ۝١٤

86:14It is no pleasantry.

اِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيۡدُوۡنَ كَيۡدًاۙ ۝١٥

86:15Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)

وَّاَكِيۡدُ كَيۡدًاۚۖ ۝١٦

86:16And I plot a plot (against them).

فَمَهِّلِ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ اَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدًا ۝١٧

86:17So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
