86-Sūrah At-Tāriq

 

          Bismillāhir-Raúmānir-Raúeem

 

1. By the sky and the night comer –

 

2. And what can make you know what is the night comer?

 

3. It is the piercing star –

 

4. There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.

 

5. So let man observe from what he was created.

 

6. He was created from a fluid, ejected,

 

7. Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

 

8. Indeed, Allāh, to return him [to life], is Able.

 

9. The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

 

10. Then man will have no power or any helper.

 

11. By the sky which returns [rain]

 

12. And [by] the earth which cracks open,

 

13. Indeed, the Qur’ān is a decisive statement,

 

14. And it is not amusement.

 

15. Indeed, they are planning a plan,

 

16. But I am planning a plan.

 

17. So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
