At-Tariq
Able to Bring Back
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. By the sky and the night comer! And what will give you an idea of what the night comer is? It is the piercing star. There is no Self but has a preserver over it.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء والطارق وما ادرىك ما الطارق النجم الثاقب ان كل نفس لما عليها حافظSo let the human being observe from what he was created.
فلينظر الانسن مم خلقHe was created from a gushing water, emerging from between the loins [of the man] and the bosom [of the woman].
خلق من ماء دافق يخرج من بين الصلب والترايبSurely, He is capable of his return, the Day when secrets will be put to the test; then he will have no power nor any helper.
انه على رجعه لقادر يوم تبلى السراير فما له من قوة ولا ناصرBy the sky which returns! And by the earth which cracks open! Surely, it is a decisive saying, and it is no frivolity.
والسماء ذات الرجع والارض ذات الصدع انه لقول فصل وما هو بالهزلIndeed, they scheme a scheme, and I scheme a scheme.
انهم يكيدون كيدا واكيد كيداSo concede a respite to the disowners [of the truth]; respite them a little.
فمهل الكفرين امهلهم رويدا
