Surah “The Morning Star, The Nightcomer”

as rendered by Edward Henry Palmer — 17 verses

By the heaven and by the night star
And what shall make thee know what the night star is?
The star of piercing brightness
Verily, every soul has a guardian over it
Then let man look from what he is created
he is created from water poured forth
that comes out from between the loins and the breast bones
Verily, He is able to send him back again
on the day when the secrets shall be tried
and he shall have no strength nor helper
By the heaven that sends back the rain
And the earth with its sprouting
Verily, it is indeed a distinguishing speech
and it is no frivolity
Verily, they do plot a plot
But I plot my plot too
let the misbelievers bide; do thou then let them bide awhile
