In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, 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 SAW). |
16. |
And I (too) am planning a plan. |
17. |
So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. ********* |
