Sorah At-Tariq ( The Night-Comer ) - Verses Number 17

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ ( 1 )

By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);-

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ ( 2 )

And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ ( 3 )

(It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ ( 4 )

There is no soul but has a protector over it.

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ( 5 )

Now let man but think from what he is created!

خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ ( 6 )

He is created from a drop emitted-

يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ ( 7 )

Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:

إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ ( 8 )

Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)!

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ ( 9 )

The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,

فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ ( 10 )

(Man) will have no power, and no helper.

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ ( 11 )

By the Firmament which returns (in its round),

وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ ( 12 )

And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ ( 13 )

Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):

وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ ( 14 )

It is not a thing for amusement.

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا ( 15 )

As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا ( 16 )

And I am planning a scheme.

فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا ( 17 )

Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).
