At-Tariq

By the sky and the night comer

And what can make you know what is the night comer?

It is the piercing star

There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.

So let man observe from what he was created.

He was created from a fluid, ejected,

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

Indeed, He [i.e., Allāh], to return him [to life], is Able.

The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

Then he [i.e., man] will have no power or any helper.

By the sky which sends back

And [by] the earth which splits,

Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a decisive statement,

And it is not amusement.

Indeed, they are planning a plan,

But I am planning a plan.

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
