The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 It is the piercing star - 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
