86 : 1

Yusuf Ali
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);-

86 : 2

Yusuf Ali
And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-

86 : 3

Yusuf Ali
(It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-

86 : 4

Yusuf Ali
There is no soul but has a protector over it.

86 : 5

Yusuf Ali
Now let man but think from what he is created!

86 : 6

Yusuf Ali
He is created from a drop emitted-

86 : 7

Yusuf Ali
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:

86 : 8

Yusuf Ali
Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)!

86 : 9

Yusuf Ali
The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,

86 : 10

Yusuf Ali
(Man) will have no power, and no helper.

86 : 11

Yusuf Ali
By the Firmament which returns (in its round),

86 : 12

Yusuf Ali
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-

86 : 13

Yusuf Ali
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):

86 : 14

Yusuf Ali
It is not a thing for amusement.

86 : 15

Yusuf Ali
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,

86 : 16

Yusuf Ali
And I am planning a scheme.

86 : 17

Yusuf Ali
Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).
