In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- 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 a while).
