By the heaven and the nightly star!
86:1
And what will make you realize what the nightly star is?
86:2
˹It is˺ the star of piercing brightness.
86:3
There is no soul without a vigilant angel ˹recording everything˺.
86:4
Let people then consider what they were created from!
86:5
˹They were˺ created from a spurting fluid,
86:6
stemming from between the backbone and the ribcage.1
86:7
Surely He is fully capable of bringing them back ˹to life˺
86:8
on the Day all secrets will be disclosed.
86:9
Then one will have neither power nor ˹any˺ helper.
86:10
By the sky with its recurring cycles,
86:11
and the earth with its sprouting plants!
86:12
Surely this ˹Quran˺ is a decisive word,
86:13
and is not to be taken lightly.
86:14
They are certainly devising ˹evil˺ plans,
86:15
but I too am planning.
86:16
So bear with the disbelievers ˹O Prophet˺. Let them be for ˹just˺ a little while.
86:17
Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High,
87:1
Who created and ˹perfectly˺ fashioned ˹all˺,
87:2
and Who ordained precisely and inspired accordingly,
87:3
and Who brings forth ˹green˺ pasture,
87:4
then reduces it to withered chaff.
87:5
We will have you recite ˹the Quran, O Prophet,˺ so you will not forget ˹any of it˺,
87:6
unless Allah wills otherwise.1 He surely knows what is open and what is hidden.
87:7
We will facilitate for you the Way of Ease.1
87:8
So ˹always˺ remind ˹with the Quran˺—˹even˺ if the reminder is beneficial ˹only to some˺.
87:9
Those in awe ˹of Allah˺ will be mindful ˹of it˺.
87:10
But it will be shunned by the most wretched,
87:11
who will burn in the greatest Fire,
87:12
where they will not ˹be able to˺ live or die.
87:13
Successful indeed are those who purify themselves,
87:14
remember the Name of their Lord, and pray.
87:15
