The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Now, verily, He [who thus creates man in the first instance] is well able to bring him back [to life] 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 13 And it is not amusement. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
