The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 he was created of gushing water 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth). 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 And it is not amusement. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 and so am I: 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while. 17
