Verse 86:1
The sky and the brightest star are witness to what is being said
The sky and the brightest star are witness to what is being said
And what will enlighten you as to what the Tariq is!
The Brightest Star! The noble night-visitant with the Radiant Lamp of the Qur'an in his hand knocking at the doors of minds and hearts, giving light.
There is no person without a watch being kept over him. [The Law of Requital is ever-vigilant]
Let the human being, then, consider out of what he has been created. [And realize the common origin of all mankind. Has there not passed over man an era when he was not even worth mentioning? 76:1]
He has been created from turbulent water. [21:30, 24:25]
That issued from between tough rocks and mingled dust. [Sulb = Hard = Tough = Strong, Rocky, as given in Taajil 'Uroos and Muheet. Turaab = Dust, with Turaaib as its plural in Taajil Urus. Mountains, rocky as pegs, along with the glacier systems and snow tops and sources of rivers, have been described as water reservoirs in many verses: 13:3, 15:19, 31:10, 39:5, 77:27, 79:28- 30, 88:20. For the origin of life on the planet and creation of the human being, including the beginning of life through water, dust, hydrated inorganic matter etc, here are given some important references for the research minded reader: 4:1, 6:2, 6:38, 6:99, 7:11, 11:6, 11:61, 15:26, 21:30, 23:12-14, 24:45, 25:54, 30:20, 31:28, 32:7-9, 35:11, 36:77, 39:6, 40:64-67, 51:49, 53:45, 55:14, 71:14, 76:2-3, 86:5-7, 96:1-2. My rendition of three terms used in 86:6- 7 respectfully differs from other translations. We know how valuable the principle of Tasreef-il-Ayaat is. Now, here are those three terms along with their erroneous translations: - 'Ma-in-Dafiq': A drop emitted, seminal fluid or gushing fluid. - 'Sulb': Man's ribs, man's loins. - 'Turaib': Pelvic arch of woman, back-bone and the ribs, spine and the viscera of man and/or woman, sacrum of man or woman. But keeping in view the lexicon and the Tasreef given above, my humble rendition of these verses is probably more sound and reflects the original magnificence to an extent]
He (Who has thus created man), is well Able to bring him back.
On the Day when all secrets will be revealed.
Then he will have no power, nor a helper.
