1 By the heaven and the Morning Star
2 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!
3 - The piercing Star!
86:1-12
1 By the heaven and the Morning Star
2 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!
3 - The piercing Star!
What will tell you about the morning star? [1]
4 No human soul but hath a guardian over it.
5 So let man consider from what he is created.
6 He is created from a gushing fluid
7 That issued from between the loins and ribs.
Every human has a guardian over it.
Humans are created from a gushing fluid,
issued from between the loins and ribs. [2]
8 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)
9 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.
10 Then will he have no might nor any helper.
11 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,
12 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)
He [Allah] can bring dead people back to life.
On that day, their hidden thoughts will be exposed,
and they'll have no helper.
86:13-17
This Quran is a conclusive word.
It's no pleasantry.
15 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)
16 And I plot a plot (against them).
17 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
They're plotting a plot (against you, Muhammad).
I [Allah] am plotting a plot against them.
So leave the disbelivers alone for a while.
Notes
The answer, of course, is science. The morning star is the planet Venus when it is visable in the morning sky.
Semen, according to the Quran, is formed not in the testicles, but somewhere "between the loins and ribs."
But humans are not created from semen aline, but from fertilized eggs.
