- By the heaven and the Morning Star
- - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!
- - The piercing Star!
- No human soul but hath a guardian over it.
- So let man consider from what he is created.
- He is created from a gushing fluid
- That issued from between the loins and ribs.
- Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)
- On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.
- Then will he have no might nor any helper.
- By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,
- And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and
plants)
- Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,
- It is no pleasantry.
- Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)
- And I plot a plot (against them).
- So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with
them for a while.
