[to The Opening]


Surah 86.  At-Tariq

In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful

1.  By the heaven and the Morning Star

2.  Ah, what will tell you what the Morning Star is!

3.  The piercing Star!

4.  No human soul but has a guardian over it.

5.  So let man consider from what he is created.

6.  He is created from a gushing fluid

7.  That issued from between the loins and ribs.

8.  Surely He surely is Able to return him

9.  On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.

10.  Then will he have no might nor any helper.

11.  By the heaven which gives the returning rain,

12.  And the earth which splits

13.  Surely this is a conclusive word,

14.  It is no pleasantry.

15.  Surely they plot a plot

16.  And I plot a plot.

17.  So give a respite to the deniers.  Deal you gently with them for a while.
