By the sky and the knocker

And what can make you know what is the knocker?

It is the piercing star[1901].

There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.

So let man observe from what he was created.

He was created from a fluid, ejected,

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

Indeed, He [i.e., Allāh], to return him [to life], is Able.

The Day when secrets will be put on trial,[1902]

Then he [i.e., man] will have no power or any helper.

By the sky which sends back[1903]

And [by] the earth which splits,[1904]

Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a decisive statement,

And it is not amusement.

Indeed, they are planning a plan,

But I am planning a plan.

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.[1905]
