English - Chapter 86 - At-Tariq

By the heaven, and the night-visitor

what do you know what the night-visitor is

It is the piercing star

There is no living being but there is a protector over it

So let man consider of what he was created

He was created of a gushing fluid

emanating from between the loins and the ribs

Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life)

On the Day when man´s deepest secrets shall be put to the test

he shall have no power, and no helper

By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain

and by the earth ever bursting with verdure

this (Qur´an) is surely a decisive Word

not a flippant jest

They are devising a guile

and I too am devising a guile

So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile
