SURA LXXXVI (86) - The Night-Comer (Mecca - 17 Verses) (XXII - 37)

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

By the heaven, and by the Night-Comer!

But who shall teach thee what the night-comer is?

'Tis the star of piercing radiance.

Over every soul is set a guardian.

Let man then reflect out of what he was created.

He was created of the poured-forth germs,

Which issue from the loins and breastbones:

Well able then is God to restore him to life, -

On the day when all secrets shall be searched out,

86:10 And he shall have no other might or helper.

I swear by the heaven which accomplisheth its cycle,

And by the earth which openeth her bosom,

That his Koran is a discriminating discourse,

And that it is not frivolous.

They plot a plot against thee,

And I will plot a plot against them.

Deal calmly therefore with the infidels; leave them awhile alone.
