ARABIC: وَالسَّمَاء وَالطَّارِقِ ١ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ ٢ النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ ٣ إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ ٤ فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ٥ خُلِقَ مِن مَّاء دَافِقٍ ٦ يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ ٧ إِنَّهُ عَلَى رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ ٨ يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ ٩ فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ ١٠ وَالسَّمَاء ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ ١١ وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ ١٢ إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ ١٣ وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ ١٤ إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا ١٥ وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا ١٦ فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا ١٧ English Transliteration: 1 Waalssamai waalttariqi 2 Wama adraka ma alttariqu 3 Alnnajmu alththaqibu 4 In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun 5 Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa 6 Khuliqa min main dafiqin 7 Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi 8 Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun 9 Yawma tubla alssarairu 10 Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin 11 Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi 12 Waalardi thati alssadAAi 13 Innahu laqawlun faslun 14 Wama huwa bialhazli 15 Innahum yakeedoona kaydan 16 Waakeedu kaydan 17 Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan English Translation: 1 I call to witness the heaven and the visitant (in the darkness) of the night. 2 And what should make you know what the night-visitant is? 3 (It is) the star of piercing brightness. 4 Remember! a guardian is appointed (by God) over every soul. 5 Therefore let (every) human being consider from what material he is created. 6 He is created from a jetting fluid, 7 Which issues forth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 8 Verily, He (Who created him the first time) has the power of bringing him back to life (in the Hereafter). 9 On the Day, when the hidden things shall be exposed, 10 Then the person (who has engrossed himself in worldly affairs) shall have neither power to defend himself nor he will have any (other) helper. 11 I call to witness the clouds that rain over and over again, 12 And the earth that bursts forth (with herbage and with springs), 13 (That) verily, this (Qur'ân) is a decisive word. 14 And it is not a vain (revelation). 15 And they (- the disbelievers) devise a device (against it). 16 And (in return) I (too) devise a (counter) device. 17 Therefore grant the disbelievers respite, yes grant them respite for a little while.

86th chapter of the Qur'an Aṭ-Ṭāriq ( Arabic : الطارق , " the Morning Star ", "Nightcomer"), is the eighty-sixth sura of the Quran , with 17 ayat or verses. Muslims believe this chapter was revealed in Mecca at a time when the disbelievers were employing all sorts of devices and plans to defeat and frustrate the message of the Quran and Muhammad . While traditional translations render Ṭāriq as “Morning Star” or “Nightcomer” (due to its appearance at night), the root meaning of “knocker” or “striker” has led some scholars and readers to suggest that the term could be alluding to a pulsar star—an astronomical object that “knocks” or emits regular pulses.
