أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed one
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ ﴿1﴾
86:1
By the heaven and the nightly star!
2
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ ﴿2﴾
86:2
And what will make you realize what the nightly star is?
3
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ ﴿3﴾
86:3
˹It is˺ the star of piercing brightness.
4
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ ﴿4﴾
86:4
There is no soul without a vigilant angel ˹recording everything˺.
5
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ﴿5﴾
86:5
Let people then consider what they were created from!
6
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ ﴿6﴾
86:6
˹They were˺ created from a spurting fluid,
7
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ ﴿7﴾
86:7
stemming from between the backbone and the ribcage.1
8
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ ﴿8﴾
86:8
Surely He is fully capable of bringing them back ˹to life˺
9
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ ﴿9﴾
86:9
on the Day all secrets will be disclosed.
10
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ ﴿10﴾
86:10
Then one will have neither power nor ˹any˺ helper.
11
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ ﴿11﴾
86:11
By the sky with its recurring cycles,
12
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ ﴿12﴾
86:12
and the earth with its sprouting plants!
13
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ ﴿13﴾
86:13
Surely this ˹Quran˺ is a decisive word,
14
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ ﴿14﴾
86:14
and is not to be taken lightly.
15
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا ﴿15﴾
86:15
They are certainly devising ˹evil˺ plans,
16
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا ﴿16﴾
86:16
but I too am planning.
17
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا ﴿17﴾
86:17
So bear with the disbelievers ˹O Prophet˺. Let them be for ˹just˺ a little while.
