The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
