By the Sky\n And the Night-Visitant\n (Therein);\u2014\n2. And what will explain to thee\n What the Night-Visitant is?\u2014\n3. (It is) the Star\n Of piercing brightness;\u2014\n4. There is no soul but has\n A protector over it.\n5. Now let man but think\n From what he is created!\n6. He is created from\n A drop emitted\u2014\n7. Proceeding from between\n The backbone and the ribs:\n8. Surely (God) is able\n To bring him back\n (To life)!\n9. The Day that\n (All) things secret\n Will be tested,\n10. (Man) will have\n No power,\n And no helper.\n11. By the Firmament\n Which returns (in its round),\n12. And by the Earth\n Which opens out\n (For the gushing of springs\n Or the sprouting of vegetation),\u2014\n13. Behold this is the Word\n That distinguishes (Good\n From Evil):\n14. It is not a thing\n For amusement.\n15. As for them, they\n Are but plotting a scheme,\n16. And I am planning\n A scheme.\n17. Therefore grant a delay\n To the unbelievers:\n Give respite to them\n Gently (for awhile).","title":"The Holy Quran: S\u016bra LXXXVI. \u1e6c\u0101riq, or Th...","type":"page"}
