The Comet (Al-Taareq)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 What could let you know what the nightly comer is! 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 Let man reflect on what he was created from. 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 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 it is no merriment. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 Therefore give them some respite – give them some time. 17
