Surah “The Morning Star, The Nightcomer”

as rendered by M. Farook Malik — 17 verses

By the heaven and by the morning star (visitant by night)
and what will explain to you what the visitant by night is
It is the star of piercing brightness
(Just as Allah Almighty is taking care of each star in the galaxies, similarly) over each soul there is an appointed guardian angel
Let man consider from what he is created
He is created from an emitted fluid
that is produced from between the loins and the ribs
Surely He, the Creator, has the power to bring him back to life
on the Day when the hidden secrets will be brought to scrutiny
then he will have neither power of his own nor any helper to save him from the punishment of Allah
By the sky which sends down rain
and by the earth which is ever bursting with new growth
surely this Qur’an is a decisive word
and it is no joke
These unbelievers of Mecca are plotting a scheme
and I, too, am plotting a scheme
Therefore, leave the unbelievers alone. Leave them alone for a while
