The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the star that shines with a piercing brightness -- 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 By oath of the sky from which comes down the rain. 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 and so am I: 16 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while. 17
