The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
