1. 86:1

   By the sky and the knocker

2. 86:2

   And what can make you know what is the knocker?

3. 86:3

   It is the piercing star.

4. 86:4

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

5. 86:5

   So let man observe from what he was created.

6. 86:6

   He was created from a fluid, ejected,

7. 86:7

   Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

8. 86:8

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

9. 86:9

   The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

10. 86:10

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

11. 86:11

    By the sky which sends back

12. 86:12

    And [by] the earth which splits,

13. 86:13

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

14. 86:14

    And it is not amusement.

15. 86:15

    Indeed, they are planning a plan,

16. 86:16

    But I am planning a plan.

17. 86:17

    So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.

18. 87:1

    Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

19. 87:2

    Who created and proportioned

20. 87:3

    And who destined and [then] guided

21. 87:4

    And who brings out the pasture

22. 87:5

    And [then] makes it black stubble.

23. 87:6

    We will make you recite, [O Muḥammad], and you will not forget,

24. 87:7

    Except what Allāh should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

25. 87:8

    And We will ease you toward ease.

26. 87:9

    So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

27. 87:10

    He who fears [Allāh] will be reminded.
