86:1  By the heaven and the night visitor,

86:2  what will cause thee to recognize what the night visitor is?

86:3  It is the piercing star.

86:4  Truly, every soul has one who guards it.

86:5  So let the human being look on of what he was created.

86:6  He was created of water, that which gushes forth,

86:7  going forth from between the loins and the breast bone.

86:8  Truly, He, in returning him, certainly is One Who Has Power.

86:9  On a Day all secret thoughts will be tried,

86:10  then, there will not be for him any strength nor one who helps.

86:11  By the heaven possessing the returning

86:12  and by the earth splitting with verdure,

86:13  truly, the Quran is a decisive saying

86:14  and it is not for mirth.

86:15  Truly, they are strategizing a strategy.

86:16  And I am strategizing a strategy.

86:17  So respite the ones who are ungrateful! Grant thou them a delay for a while.
