| Surah At-Tariq | |||
| In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. | |||
| 1 | By the heaven, and At-Târiq ( the night-comer, i. e. the bright star ); | ||
| 2 | And what will make you to know what At-Târiq ( night-comer ) is? | ||
| 3 | ( It is ) the star of piercing brightness; | ||
| 4 | There is no human being but has a protector over him ( or her ) ( i. e. angels incharge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds, etc. ) | ||
| 5 | So let man see from what he is created! | ||
| 6 | He is created from a water gushing forth | ||
| 7 | Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, | ||
| 8 | Verily, ( Allâh ) is Able to bring him back ( to life )! | ||
| 9 | The Day when all the secrets ( deeds, prayers, fasting, etc. ) will be examined ( as to their truth ). | ||
| 10 | Then will ( man ) have no power, nor any helper. | ||
| 11 | By the sky ( having rain clouds ) which gives rain, again and again. | ||
| 12 | And the earth which splits ( with the growth of trees and plants ), | ||
| 13 | Verily! This ( the Qur'ân ) is the Word that separates ( the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil ). | ||
| 14 | And it is not a thing for amusement. | ||
| 15 | Verily, they are but plotting a plot ( against you O Muhammad ). | ||
| 16 | And I ( too ) am planning a plan. | ||
| 17 | So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. | ||
