الطارق

At-Taariq

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِیمِ(0)

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful(0)

وَالسَّمَآءِ وَالطَّارِقِ(1)

By the sky and the night comer -(1)

وَمَآ أَدْرَیٰکَ مَا الطَّارِقُ(2)

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

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ(3)

It is the piercing star -(3)

إِن کُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَیْهَا حَافِظٌ(4)

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

فَلْیَنظُرِ الْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ(5)

So let man observe from what he was created(5)

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ(6)

He was created from a fluid, ejected,(6)

یَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَیْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَآئِبِ(7)

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs(7)

إِنَّهُ عَلَیٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ(8)

Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able(8)

یَوْمَ تُبْلَی السَّرَآئِرُ(9)

The Day when secrets will be put on trial,(9)

فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ(10)

Then man will have no power or any helper(10)

وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ(11)

By the sky which returns [rain](11)

وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ(12)

And [by] the earth which cracks open,(12)

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ(13)

Indeed, the Qur’an is a decisive statement,(13)

وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ(14)

And it is not amusement(14)

إِنَّهُمْ یَکِیدُونَ کَیْدًا(15)

Indeed, they are planning a plan,(15)

وَأَکِیدُ کَیْدًا(16)

But I am planning a plan(16)

فَمَهِّلِ الْکَٰفِرِینَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَیْدًۢا(17)

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