The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And it is not amusement. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while. 17
