The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 BEHOLD, this [divine writ] is indeed a word that distinguishes between truth and falsehood, 13 and is no idle tale. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
