Chap 86: THE MORNING STAR, THE NIGHTCOMER (86:0)

By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- (86:1)

And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- (86:2)

(It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- (86:3)

There is no soul but has a protector over it (86:4)

Now let man but think from what he is created! (86:5)

He is created from a drop emitted- (86:6)

Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: (86:7)

Surely (God) is able to bring him back (to life)! (86:8)

The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, (86:9)

(Man) will have no power, and no helper (86:10)

By the Firmament which returns (in its round), (86:11)

And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),- (86:12)

Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): (86:13)

It is not a thing for amusement (86:14)

As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, (86:15)

And I am planning a scheme (86:16)

Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile) (86:17)
