At-Tariq

By the heaven and the Morning Star

Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is

The piercing Star

No human soul but hath a guardian over it

So let man consider from what he is created

He is created from a gushing fluid

That issued from between the loins and ribs

Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)

On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out

Then will he have no might nor any helper

By the heaven which giveth the returning rain

And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)

Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word

It is no pleasantry

Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)

And I plot a plot (against them)

So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while
