The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 The piercing star! 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Now, verily, He [who thus creates man in the first instance] is well able to bring him back [to life] 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 And it is no joke. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
