The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 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 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
