Sura 86:  The Bright Star (Al-Taareq)

Number of verses in sura: 17
Order of revelation: 36

[86:0]  In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

[86:1]  By the sky and Al-Taareq.

[86:2]  Do you know what Al-Taareq is?

[86:3]  The bright star.

[86:4]  Absolutely, everyone is well guarded.

[86:5]  Let the human reflect on his creation.

[86:6]  He was created from ejected liquid.

[86:7]  From between the spine and the viscera.

[86:8]  He is certainly able to resurrect him.

[86:9]  The day all secrets become known.

[86:10]  He will have no power, nor a helper.

[86:11]  By the sky that returns (the water).

[86:12]  By the earth that cracks (to grow plants).

[86:13]  This is a serious narration.

[86:14]  Not to be taken lightly.

[86:15]  They plot and scheme.

[86:16]  But so do I.

[86:17]  Just respite the disbelievers a short respite.
