Sura LXXXVI (86)
The Night-Comer
(
________________________________________
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.
