بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
1By the sky and the knocker
2And what can make you know what is the knocker?
3It is the piercing star[1901].
4There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
5So let man observe from what he was created.
6He was created from a fluid, ejected,
7Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
8Indeed, He [i.e., Allāh], to return him [to life], is Able.
9The Day when secrets will be put on trial,[1902]
10Then he [i.e., man] will have no power or any helper.
11By the sky which sends back[1903]
12And [by] the earth which splits,[1904]
13Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a decisive statement,
14And it is not amusement.
15Indeed, they are planning a plan,
16But I am planning a plan.
17So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.[1905]
