86:1 By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein),
Waalssama-i waalttariqi
86:2 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
86:3 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
86:4 There is no soul but has a protector over it.
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
86:5 Now let man but think from what he is created!
Falyanthuri al-insanumimma khuliqa
86:6 He is created from a drop emitted-
Khuliqa min ma-in dafiqin
86:7 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttara-ibi
86:8 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)!
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
86:9 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,
Yawma tubla alssara-iru
86:10 (Man) will have no power, and no helper.
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
86:11 By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
Waalssama-i thati alrrajAAi
86:12 And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-
Waal-ardi thati alssadAAi
86:13 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
Innahu laqawlun faslun
86:14 It is not a thing for amusement.
Wama huwa bialhazli
86:15 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
86:16 And I am planning a scheme.
Waakeedu kaydan
86:17 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
