Surah “The Morning Star, The Nightcomer”

as rendered by Dr. Munir Munshey — 17 verses

(I swear) by the sky, and the night star
And how would you know what the night star is
(It is) a bright star
There is no soul without a guardian over it
Let man look at (and bear in mind) the substance he is created from
(He is) created from the surging fluid
Which springs from between the spine and the ribs
Indeed, He is (certainly) capable of bringing man back to life
That day, (all) secrets would be laid bare
(That day), man shall not have any strength, nor any helpers
(I swear) by the sky that repeatedly sends rain down
And by the earth that splits (and lets plants emerge)
Indeed, this Qur´an is the statement that sifts (right from wrong)
It is not an idle tale
They are hatching a nefarious plot
But I, too, shall devise a scheme
So give the unbelievers a little respite. Deal with them gently for a while
