The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By heaven and the night-star! 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 Indeed Allah is Able to return him. 8 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 BEHOLD, this [divine writ] is indeed a word that distinguishes between truth and falsehood, 13 it is no merriment. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 and so am I: 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
