The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
