1 By the sky and the night comer -
2 And what can make you know what is the night comer?
3 It is the piercing star -
4 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
5 So let man observe from what he was created.
6 He was created from a fluid, ejected,
7 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
8 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
9 The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
10 Then man will have no power or any helper.
11 By the sky which returns [rain]
12 And [by] the earth which cracks open,
13 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
14 And it is not amusement.
15 Indeed, they are planning a plan,
16 But I am planning a plan.
17 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
