By the heaven and the visitant by night, and what do you know what the visitant by night is? A shining star! There is no soul without a Guardian over it.1 Then let man at least consider from what he is created.2 He is created from a spurting fluid that issues forth from between the backbone and the breast-bones.3 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to create him again.4 The Day the hidden secrets are held to scrutiny,5 then man will neither have any power of his own nor any helper. By the heaven that sends down rain6 and by the earth that splits lat the sprouting of vegetation), it is a decisive Word. It is no jest.7 These people (i.e. the disbelievers of Makkah) are devising some plans,8 and I, too, am devising a plan.9 So leave the disbelievers, O Prophet; leave them to themselves for a while.10
