“Quran: Chapter 86: The Nightcomer
By the sky and the Nightcomer!
What will make you realize what the Nightcomer is?
The star shining before dawn!
Each soul has a guardian set up over it.
So let everyman notice what he has been created from.
He was created from a fluid ejected from between his backbone and his ribs.
He is Able to revive him
On a day when secrets will be tested;
So he will have no strength left nor any supporter.
By the sky with its cycle,
By the earth cracking open,
It is a decisive statement!
It is no joke.

They are hatching some plot
While I too am hatching a plot;
So put up with disbelievers;
Put up with them as long as you can!”
― T. B. Irving, The Noble Qur'an: The First American Translation and Commentary
