Translation By Abdullah Yusuf Ali
d Sura
# 86 e
|
At-Tariq /
The Nightly Visitant |
|
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful. |
1 |
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein) |
2 |
And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is? |
3 |
(It is) the Star of piercing brightness |
4 |
There is no soul but has a protector over it. |
5 |
Now let man but think from what he is created! |
6 |
He is created from a drop emitted |
7 |
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: |
8 |
Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! |
9 |
The Day that (all) things secret will be tested. |
10 |
(Man) will have no power and no helper. |
11 |
By the Firmament which returns (in its round) |
12 |
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation) |
13 |
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): |
14 |
It is not a thing for amusement. |
15 |
As for them they are but plotting a scheme |
16 |
And I am planning a scheme |
17 |
Therefore grant a delay to the unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for a while). |
