In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
|
| 1. |
By the heaven, and At-Târiq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright
star); |
| 2. |
And what will make you to know what At-Târiq (night-comer)
is? |
| 3. |
(It is) the star of piercing brightness; |
| 4. |
There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels
incharge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds,
etc.)[] |
| 5. |
So let man see from what he is created! |
| 6. |
He is created from a water gushing forth |
| 7. |
Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, |
| 8. |
Verily, (Allâh) is Able to bring him back (to life)! |
| 9. |
The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be
examined (as to their truth). |
| 10. |
Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. |
| 11. |
By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. |
| 12. |
And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), |
| 13. |
Verily! This (the Qur'ân) is the Word that separates (the truth
from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots
of evil). |
| 14. |
And it is not a thing for amusement. |
| 15. |
Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be
upon him)). |
| 16. |
And I (too) am planning a plan. |
| 17. |
So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for
a while. |
