In the name
of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful |
By the heaven and by the visitant by
night,[1] and what will explain to you what the visitant by
night is?[2] It is the star of piercing brightness.[3] (Just
as Allah Almighty is taking care of each star in the galaxies,
similarly) over each soul there is an appointed guardian
angel.[4] Let man consider from what he is created![5] He is
created from an emitted fluid[6] that is produced from between
the loins and the ribs.[7] Surely He, the Creator, has
the power to bring him back to life,[8] on the Day when the
hidden secrets will be brought to scrutiny,[9] then he will have
neither power of his own nor any helper to save him from the
punishment of Allah.[10] By the sky (having rain clouds)
which sends down rain[11] and by the earth which is ever
bursting with new growth;[12] surely this Qur’an
is a decisive word,[13] and it is no joke.[14] These
unbelievers of Makkah are plotting a scheme:[15] and I, too,
am plotting a scheme.[16] Therefore, leave the unbelievers
alone. Leave them alone for a while.[17]

Over
each soul there is an appointed guardian angel
The Qur'an is a decisive word of Allah |
Major Issues, Divine
Law and Guidance:
* Allah has appointed a guardian angel
over each soul .
* The Qur’an is the decisive word of Allah.
This Sürah discuses two themes:
- That man has to appear before God after death;
- That the Qur’an is a decisive Word which no plan or device
of the disbelievers can defeat or frustrate.
The stars of the heavens are cited as an
evidence that there is nothing in the universe that may continue
to exist and survive without a guardian over it. Then man is
asked to consider his own self as far as how he has been brought
into existence from a mere sperm drop and shaped into a living
human being. Then it is said that God, Who brought him into
existence, certainly has the power to create him once again in
order to scrutinize all of the secrets of man which remained
hidden in the world. At that time, man will neither be able to
escape the consequences of his deeds by his own power, nor will
anyone else come to his rescue.
In conclusion, it is pointed out that just as the falling of
rain from the sky and the sprouting of plants and crops from the
earth is not child’s play, but a serious task, so also are the
truths expressed in the Qur’an no jest, but a firm and
unchangeable reality. The disbelievers think that their plans
and devices will defeat the invitation of the Qur’an, but they
do not know that Allah too is devising a plan which will void
all their scheming and planning. Then a word of consolation is
provided to the Prophet (pbuh) and a warning to the disbelievers
that very soon they will themselves realize whether they have
been able to defeat the Qur’an by their schemes or whether the
Qur’an has dominated them in the very place where they are
exerting their utmost to defeat it.
