Chapter Eighty Six: Surah At-Tariq

Surah At-Tariq (Surah #86, Juz # 30, Aya # 17) 

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.  

By the heaven, and by the nightly visitor (1)

(and what will show you what is the nightly visitor? (2)

It is the brilliant star): (3)

there is a guard over every soul. (4)

So let man consider from what he was created. (5)

He was created from an effusing fluid (6)

which issues from between the loins and the breast-bones. (7)

Indeed He is able to bring him back [after death], (8)

on the day when the secrets are examined (9)

and he shall have neither power nor helper. (10)

By the resurgent heaven, (11)

and by the furrowed earth: (12)

it is indeed a conclusive discourse, (13)

and not a jest. (14)

Indeed they are devising a stratagem, (15)

and I [too] am devising a plan. (16)

So respite the faithless; give them a gentle respite. (17)
