The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while. 17
