About this verse
In context
Read the whole surahفَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ
So I swear by the retreating stars -
ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ
Those that run [their courses] and disappear [i.e., set]
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
And by the night as it closes in
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
And by the dawn when it breathes [i.e., stirs]
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
[That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger [i.e., Gabriel]
