Holy Quran Verses from Yusufali's Translation

Surah Taariq: The Morning Star

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

086.001	By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);-
086.002	And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-
086.003	(It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-
086.004	There is no soul but has a protector over it.
086.005	Now let man but think from what he is created!
086.006	He is created from a drop emitted-
086.007	Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
086.008	Surely (God) is able to bring him back (to life)!
086.009	The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,
086.010	(Man) will have no power, and no helper.
086.011	By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
086.012	And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-
086.013	Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
086.014	It is not a thing for amusement.
086.015	As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
086.016	And I am planning a scheme.
086.017	Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).

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.
