In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent,
the Merciful.
[86.1]
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
[86.2]
And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
[86.3]
The star of piercing brightness;
[86.4]
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
[86.5]
So let man consider of what he is created:
[86.6]
He is created of water pouring forth,
[86.7]
Coming from between the back and the ribs.
[86.8]
Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
[86.9]
On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
[86.10]
He shall have neither strength nor helper.
[86.11]
I swear by the raingiving heavens,
[86.12]
And the earth splitting (with plants);
[86.13]
Most surely it is a decisive word,
[86.15]
Surely they will make a scheme,
[86.16]
And I (too) will make a scheme.
[86.17]
So grant the unbelievers a respite:
let them alone for a while.
