The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 and the earth, bursting forth with plants! 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 and so am I: 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
