The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 - The piercing Star! 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while. 17
