Holy Quran Verses from Pickthall's Translation

Surah Taariq: The Morning Star

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

086.001	By the heaven and the Morning Star
086.002	- Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!
086.003	- The piercing Star!
086.004	No human soul but hath a guardian over it.
086.005	So let man consider from what he is created.
086.006	He is created from a gushing fluid
086.007	That issued from between the loins and ribs.
086.008	Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)
086.009	On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.
086.010	Then will he have no might nor any helper.
086.011	By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,
086.012	And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)
086.013	Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,
086.014	It is no pleasantry.
086.015	Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)
086.016	And I plot a plot (against them).
086.017	So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.

Let us pray (Sura 20, Ayat 114) 'Ya Rabbi Zidni Ilma!' ('O Lord! Increase me in knowledge.') and seek spiritual help (ta'yid) to understand our great faith.
