86 - The Bright Star (Al-Taareq)
Order of Revelation: 36وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
Waal-ardi thati alssadAAi
And the earth which cracks open,
and the earth, bursting forth with plants!
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-
And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)
And the earth opening (with herbage)!
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Innahu laqawlun faslun
Indeed, it (is) surely a Word decisive,
BEHOLD, this [divine writ] is indeed a word that between truth and falsehood,
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,
Surely it is a decisive word,
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
Wama huwa bialhazli
And not it (is) for amusement.
and is no idle tale.
It is not a thing for amusement.
It is no pleasantry.
And it is not a joke.
And it is not amusement.
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
Indeed, they are plotting a plot,
Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth];
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)
Surely they plan a plan.
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Waakeedu kaydan
But I am panning a plan.
but I shall bring all their scheming to nought.
And I am planning a scheme.
And I plot a plot (against them).
And I plan a plan.
But I am planning a plan.
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
So give respite (to) the disbelievers. Give respite to them - little.
Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while.
Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).
So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
So grant the disbelievers a respite -- let them alone for a while.
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
