Surah The morning star [At-Tariq] Ayah 17 Location Maccah Number 86

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ ﴿١﴾

By the heaven, and At-Tariq;

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ ﴿٢﴾

And what will make you to know what At-Tariq is

ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ ﴿٣﴾

The star, Ath-Thaqib.

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ ﴿٤﴾

There is no human being but has a protector over him.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ﴿٥﴾

So, let man see from what he is created!

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ ﴿٦﴾

He is created from a water gushing forth,

يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ ﴿٧﴾

Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs.

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ ﴿٨﴾

Verily, He is Able to bring him back!

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ ﴿٩﴾

The Day when all the secrets will be examined.

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ ﴿١٠﴾

Then he will have no power, nor any helper.

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ ﴿١١﴾

By the sky which gives rain, again and again.

وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ ﴿١٢﴾

And the earth which splits.

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ ﴿١٣﴾

Verily, this is the Word that separates.

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ ﴿١٤﴾

And it is not a thing for amusement.

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا ﴿١٥﴾

Verily, they are but plotting a plot.

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا ﴿١٦﴾

And I am planning a plan.

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا ﴿١٧﴾

So, give a respite to the disbelievers; deal gently with them for a while.
