Verses 17 — Makki; Revealed at Mecca —
Sections 1
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious,
Most Merciful
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 ((Allah)) 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).
