Surah The morning star [At-Tariq] in English

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

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ ﴿١﴾

By the heavens and al-tariq.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ ﴿٢﴾

Do you know what al-tariq is?

ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ ﴿٣﴾

(It is a nightly radiant star).

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ ﴿٤﴾

There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds).

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ﴿٥﴾

Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created.

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ ﴿٦﴾

He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid

يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ ﴿٧﴾

which comes out of the loins and ribs.

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ ﴿٨﴾

God has all power to resurrect him.

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ ﴿٩﴾

On the day when all secrets will be made public,

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ ﴿١٠﴾

he will have no power, nor anyone to help him.

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ ﴿١١﴾

By the rotating heavens

وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ ﴿١٢﴾

and the replenishing earth,

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ ﴿١٣﴾

the Quran is the final word,

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ ﴿١٤﴾

and it is certainly not a jest.

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا ﴿١٥﴾

They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan,

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا ﴿١٦﴾

but I too plan against them.

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا ﴿١٧﴾

Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while.
