The Meanings of the Holy Qur'an: Sura 86, "The Morning Star, The Nightcomer"
|
|
{1}
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);-
|
{2}
And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-
|
{3}
(It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-
|
{4}
There is no soul but has a protector over it.
|
{5}
Now let man but think from what he is created!
|
{6}
He is created from a drop emitted-
|
{7}
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
|
{8}
Surely (God) is able to bring him back (to life)!
|
{9}
The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,
|
{10}
(Man) will have no power, and no helper.
|
{11}
By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
|
{12}
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-
|
{13}
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
|
{14}
It is not a thing for amusement.
|
{15}
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
|
{16}
And I am planning a scheme.
|
{17}
Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). THE MOST HIGH, GLORY TO YOUR LORD IN THE HIGHEST, CHAPTER NO.
|
{1}
Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,
|
{2}
Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;
|
{3}
Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;
|
{4}
And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,
|
{5}
And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.
|
{6}
By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,
|
{7}
Except as God wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.
|
{8}
And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).
|
{9}
Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).
|
{10}
The admonition will be received by those who fear (God):
|
{11}
But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,
|
{12}
Who will enter the Great Fire,
|
{13}
In which they will then neither die nor live.
|
{14}
But those will prosper who purify themselves,
|
{15}
And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.
|
{16}
Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;
|
{17}
But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
|
{18}
And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-
|
{19}
The Books of Abraham and Moses.
