The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By heaven and the night-star! 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 and [man] will have neither strength nor helper! 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 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 is not a matter of amusement. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while. 17
