The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 It is the star that shines with a piercing brightness -- 3 There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels incharge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds, etc.) 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 he was created of gushing water 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 and [man] will have neither strength nor helper! 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and the earth, bursting forth with 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 amusement. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
