Sorah At-Tariq ( The Night-Comer ) - Verses Number 17
وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ ( 1 ) 
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);-
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ ( 2 )
And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ ( 3 )
(It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ ( 4 )
There is no soul but has a protector over it.
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ( 5 )
Now let man but think from what he is created!
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ ( 6 )
He is created from a drop emitted-
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ ( 7 )
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ ( 8 )
Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)!
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ ( 9 )
The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ ( 10 )
(Man) will have no power, and no helper.
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ ( 11 )
By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ ( 12 )
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ ( 13 )
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ ( 14 )
It is not a thing for amusement.
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا ( 15 )
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا ( 16 )
And I am planning a scheme.
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا ( 17 )
Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).

- Knowledge Mandates ActionIqtidaa-ul-‘Ilm al-‘Amal By Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee. This is the second book in the "Classical Knowledge Series", which is a collection of selected scholarly works from the past that deal with the subject of religious knowledge. The first book in this blessed series was “The Book of Knowledge” written by Imaam Abu Khaithamah Zuhayr bin Harb An-Nasaa’ee (Died 234H), may Allah have mercy on him. Since that book served as an introduction to knowledge, its virtues, merits and manners, it seemed proper that the second book be dedicated to the next level of knowledge, which is its result and outcome, and that is righteous deeds. And what better work to present on this subject than the classic and well-known treatise of the distinguished Imaam, Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee, 'Iqtidaa-ul-‘Ilm al-‘Amal' (Knowledge Mandates Action).

- Night Prayer in RamadanA most rewarding and fulfilling part of a Muslim's worship are those blessed moments that he spends praying in the depth of the night, privately addressing his Great Lord, sincerely glorifying Him, humbly imploring Him - beseeching His forgiveness and asking Him for favors. The voluntary "night prayer", or qiyaam, is indispensable for a person's moral, spiritual, and physical welfare. Yet, it is greatly misunderstood and largely neglected by most Muslims
