Surah “The Morning Star, The Nightcomer”

By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star)

And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is

(It is) the star of piercing brightness

There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels incharge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds, etc.

So let man see from what he is created

He is created from a water gushing fort

Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs

Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)

The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth)

Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper

By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again

And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants)

Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil)

And it is not a thing for amusement

Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him))

And I (too) am planning a plan

So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while
