86:1By the sky and the night comer
86:2And what can make you know what is the night comer?
86:3It is the piercing star1
86:4There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
86:5So let man observe from what he was created.
86:6He was created from a fluid, ejected,
86:7Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
86:8Indeed, He [i.e., Allāh], to return him [to life], is Able.
86:9The Day when secrets will be put on trial,1
86:10Then he [i.e., man] will have no power or any helper.
86:11By the sky which sends back1
86:12And [by] the earth which splits,1
86:13Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a decisive statement,
86:14And it is not amusement.
86:15Indeed, they are planning a plan,
86:16But I am planning a plan.
86:17So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.1
87:1Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,
87:2Who created and proportioned
87:3And who destined and [then] guided
87:4And who brings out the pasture
87:5And [then] makes it black stubble.
87:6We will make you recite, [O Muḥammad], and you will not forget,
87:7Except what Allāh should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.
87:8And We will ease you toward ease.1
87:9So remind, if the reminder should benefit;1
87:10He who fears [Allāh] will be reminded.
