86. THE MORNING STAR
THE NIGHTCOMER
Revealed before the Hijrah. This chapter has 17 verses.
In the name of God,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful
| 86:1 | By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- |
| 86:2 | And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- |
| 86:3 | (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- |
| 86:4 | There is no soul but has a protector over it. |
| 86:5 | Now let man but think from what he is created! |
| 86:6 | He is created from a drop emitted- |
| 86:7 | Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: |
| 86:8 | Surely (God) is able to bring him back (to life)! |
| 86:9 | The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, |
| 86:10 | (Man) will have no power, and no helper. |
| 86:11 | By the Firmament which returns (in its round), |
| 86:12 | And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),- |
| 86:13 | Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): |
| 86:14 | It is not a thing for amusement. |
| 86:15 | As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, |
| 86:16 | And I am planning a scheme. |
| 86:17 | Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). |
