The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds). 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 and the earth, bursting forth with plants! 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 it is not a jest. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 and I am devising guile. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
