The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 The Day when secrets will be put on trial, 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
