Surah “The Morning Star, The Nightcomer”

By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);

And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?

(It is) the Star of piercing brightness;

There is no soul but has a protector over it

Now let man but think from what he is created

He is created from a drop emitted

Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs

Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)

The Day that (all) things secret will be tested

(Man) will have no power, and no helper

By the Firmament which returns (in its round)

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

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

It is not a thing for amusement

As for them, they are but plotting a scheme

And I am planning a scheme

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