1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the heaven and the Morning Star

2 And what will make you know what the comer by night is?

2 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!

7 That issued from between the loins and ribs.

8 Most surely He is able to return him (to life).

8 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)

9 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,

9 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.

10 He shall have neither strength nor helper.

10 Then will he have no might nor any helper.

11 I swear by the raingiving heavens,

11 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,

12 And the earth splitting (with plants);

12 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)

13 Most surely it is a decisive word,

13 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,

14 And it is no joke.

14 It is no pleasantry.

15 Surely they will make a scheme,

15 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)

16 And I (too) will make a scheme.

16 And I plot a plot (against them).

17 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.

17 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
